1986 spree is giving me a headache!!!!!!!!man I have done everything......clean carb, clean gas tank and all fuel lines blowed out, I blew out all jets in carb, made sure all little little holes are clear. I have spark and I have fuel flow to carb. What I did notice was that the fuel valve on the bottom of the gas tank flows all the time...........the gas does not stop like the manual sez it should. Do you think this would cause the scoot not to start????......back to the asprin!

Do spree's have a fuel tap? If they do, then gas should not be flowing all the time. Try priming the cylinder (take the spark plug out and put gas in the hole). Always remember the kill switch.

You blew up the vacuum operated petcock when using compressed air to blow out the lines. Guys do this every year...

You need to replace it with a new one, or cap off both sides of the vacuum line and install a manual fuel shutoff.

it should still start. i have a question for you. is your moped black? when did you get it, are there dents on the clutch. look through the holes in the front of the clutch, there will be some more small holes behind there, are they like dented a bit or look damaged. i think you have my old beater spree. that is if your in michigan.

It won't start if the vacuum line is filling the bottom end up with gasoline through the vacuum port.
