Throttle WONT go back

Spiderlad · Post by **Spiderlad** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:33 pm

PLEASE I need help I cleaned my carb today (86'Spree) and put everything back together the way I took it apart, Now my throttle is lose and I cant figure out whats up... When I take off the carb cap off and pull out the throttle valve thing an turn the throttle it seems to work fine but when back in I trun the throttle and it stays where it is, Iv tried to tighten the throttle cable by the throttle an that doesnt seem to help (But im not sure if im doing that right) not to cool...

Any Ideas?

THANKS

Sure - its an easy fix ---

There is a slot in the throttle slide. It must line up inside the carb with a pin.
The pin is 180 degrees from the idle speed screw. When not lined up, the throttle behaves exactly as you describe.

If your throttle valve is in correctly it will slide way down into the carburetor top. Keep turning it until it falls way down in there.

Just START IT ON THE STAND!!! If you didnt fix your problem it will run away from you.

Sigh... I cant get it to turn over now even when trying to jump it or kick it, you can hear the starter wanting to turn it over but nothing, all I did was clean the carb (First time I ever cleaned a carb) had the throttle trouble, an now it wont start

it seems like maybe gas isnt flowing into the carb or something, if I had a pluged fuel line or the little filter in there was cloged would that cause something like this?

THANKS!!!!

It was total dead but I replaced the fuse by the battrey now it makes sound (pretty sure its the pew sound) trying to start but it wont turn over (when trying to jump it) when I hook it up to jump it it makes the pew sound. To jump it Im using my girlfriends spree Iv used it hella times with no prob. till now

Was thinking about tryng to jump it from my car done that too an it worked.... I dont get how it worked a day an a half ago an now it doesnt its starting to get frustrating

Try holding your hand over the intake holes on the airbox lid while cranking.

car batteries are 16+ volts, sprees use 12, that was potentially really bad for several expensive components

Lay of the crack! Both use 12 volt systems that run at more like 14 at full output. A car battery by itself is 12 volts.
