Re: Edited: New thread but someone please help! 85 spree

What does your spark plug look like after a few attempted starts? If you spark plug gets too saturated with gas and oil, then it will begin to find a different path of least resistance to displace it's charge, instead of arcing across to the proper point. This could cause serious problems with tryi...

Re: sorry to make a new thread but someone please help!!@!

i agree with bear. if it starts up but dies, your bike obviously isn't idling. turn the screw in a bit. also... you may be getting too much or too little air; or too much fuel. i got my gf's spree running for a second, then it stopped...seems its back to its old tricks of fuel flowing through the v...

Re: sorry to make a new thread but someone please help!!@!

ive moved both screws countless timez.. should i bend the float so that more gass flows in? You can NOT just twist things, you have to know what you are doing, which you obviously don't have a clue.
