CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG

[Quantrill]

I have an 84 Honda spree that I recently got running after not being used for a while, but when come to a stop with no throttle it makes a "chug chug chug chug" noise and dies, so I have to start it up again real quick. I have adjusted the idle so I know it is not that does anyone know of a solution for this issue?

Hmmmm that's a good puzzle. I'd love to hear it make the noise. I'd have a good look at the entire intake system make sure that the air filter element hasn't gotten sucked into the intake tube or something. Does it start up without issue or is it hard to restart. How does on run otherwise?

It's starts up immediately after but will just die when it idles I recently replaced the air filter as well

Greetings:

If you've done something, and it was running well before but not after, there's a better-than-even chance that reassembly resulted in an error. It's well-documented that Sprees won't suffer gladly ANY leak in the airbox assembly upstream of the carb. Consider going back and checking for seal of the airbox lid, a filter element saturated with oil and wrung well as the Manual describes, and a good tight fit of the connector pipe from box to carb.
