spree problems wont run please help

Post by vic »

I have a 1986 Honda Spree that will only start when my hand is covering the air intake. Then when it starts, it will only run for about 5 seconds.

Also, check the fuel passages by shining a light through them in a dark room to make sure they're clean/clear.
