Post by 8650ccspree »

I looked at a 85 spree today and when you shut it off and go to start it it wont start up unless you play with somthing i didnt see the guy was meesing with the choke i think and after about 4 seconds it would start and would keep doing it he told me it was the bystarter is that what it is? or somthing else

Yep bad bystarter.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

also if you let it idle for about a minute or 2 it will idle down and eventualy stall would that be caused by the bystarter and also does the electric start on those always sound like a screaching noise sorry im new at these things im a boat guy
