ok, here are the symptoms,

1. as of today my 86 spree will not start
2. when it did start and run, some liquid was coming out of the exhaust and it would cut in and out during acceleration as well as when i was at top speed and i would always have to adjust the idle everytime i turned it on, it used to always start with a high idle.
3. All of this started when i changed from a 65 to 68 jet (iowa to non iowa jet)

any help would be great,

just a note, the engine turns over fine and the compression feels normal.

Remove and clean the carb per the instructions in Wikispreedia.

Well, do it again because so far you still have a screwed up carb.

It would seem that carb issues are present to obtain the described condition of runability..... :imo: ....there is just no other indication otherwise.....believe I might try that fourth disassembly verifying along the way that all components are free from defective performance, clean, not bent, and OPEN...repeat OPEN passages.....that pesky bystarter may have failed, refer to wikispreedia for info........luck..... :hi:
