hey guys

when i first rebuilt my spree and put it together it was running great but when i didnt apply throttle it would eventually die

so i started adjusting the settings on the carb

now it wont start at all and if it does its very few and far between and for a limited amount of time


anyone have any advice to get me back on the road?

So you started adjusting the carb and made things worse. :roll: Did you follow the instructions in the service manual? If not you need to know that this ain't a d*** 4 stroke and you can't just wing it without ending up like you have.

Greetings:

I recommend you start with the easiest thing: Buy and install a new spark plug. Sometimes you get lucky and that's all it is. If it was run too rich for a while, or spent a lot of time on the enrichener without getting a chance to burn off the ash, the plug just fouls.
