I have to partially cover the carb to get the '86 spree to rev up and to run, will not idle. When I remove my hand the Spree will run for about 3 to 5 seconds before it wants to die, if I replace my hand it will again run. Any ideas?

hehe, people have to realize that a stock bike should only be altered in the exhaust portion unless their going to upgrade plugs, jets, ect.
rock those air filters!

basically what happened was the bike sat for years (only 175 miles on it), I cleaned out the carb and the air filter was rotten so I thru it away. I went to start it and the petcock was not working properly, I fixed that and when I started it ( did not attach the air box ) it ran poorly. The bike shop in town said they will have the new filter by Saturday. I let you know how it runs on Tuesday.
