Re: 86 spree starting question

Thanks for the input. I've tried no throttle, part throttle, WOT throtte. No luck. The electric starter will turn the engine over at the same speed. It would almost start. Usually the first or second kick will get it started. Any ideas? Thanks

86 spree starting question

Hi, My 86 Spreee will start with the electric starter everytime and it runs great. However, once it's been warmed up. It would only start with the kick starter. Any ideas what I should check? I have taken the carb apart and cleaned it. Thanks in advance.

86 aero 50 throttle cable

I am looking for a replacement throttle cable for my 86 aero 50. Babbits has no stock. Does anyone know what other model has the same throttle cable? Or can I use a generic throttle cable? If so, what is the length? Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the input. I ended up buying a new carb and it runs go now. The previous owner did something to the brass tube for the pilot jet of the old carb and I think it is beyond repair.

Thanks again for the input. I have a few questions. Where is the pilot jet pinhole? Where is the bystarter insert (on the carb side or the bystarter side)? Thanks again.
