Its a stock carb... was thinking the same thing. But the need is on full rich. I lean it up one... and doesn't run as well as down... do you think I should lean out more? Could too rich cause bog? As noted above... new fuel line clear blue 3/16". Stock air box with new filter... intake proper s...

Oh the $50 1985 AERO is almost alive... needs helps from the gurus. Given : ~600 Miles, De-Rusted Tank, New NGK Plug, Carb Cleaned Twice, New Fuel Line, In-Line Fuel Filter, New Fluids, Re-Primed Oil Pump With Fresh Oil, Re-Worked Petcock = Flowing, New Air Filter - Full Stock Assembly, 118-120 PSI ...

Mike... Aero start and purrs like a kitten. However anything past 1/2 throttle causes it to bog. Sure I am screwing something up. It moves along nice... but no power band. I can put it on the stand and it will work its way up to high rev - power band (without load). Thought maybe plug.... got a new ...

The petcock on the 85 AERO is beyond rare... impossible to find (order one to find out they didn't have one in stock). Finding out the 85 is a unique rig :( Work around time. I reworked the broken petcock to flow freely and pegged the vacuum line. No back up for the float plunger in the carb - but w...

Thanks for your suggestion.... my poor little Aero. It is waiting on a $60 petcock (non standard threads). Just cleaned the rusty tank this week - vinegar 3 day bath. Was in bad shape. Already cleaned the carb - was bad also. Anyways... I pulled the pump and hooked the gear drive shaft directly to m...

Trying to bring back to life a lost 85 Aero. The oil pump is gear driven. I have the shop / service manual and trying to bleed the system. It says to use a squirt can to reverse flow the 2 cycle oil out of the pump inlet side. When I squeeze (and I mean head) I cannot get any reverse flow? Sounds cl...

Well the gas tank is clean... and I have new fuel filter and lines + petcock ready to install. In my haste I ordered the 22 MM nut with the 14.5 MM ID petcock..... it is wrong. Looks like the one I need is 16950-187-671. This petcock costs more than the scooter. Does anyone have a work around to $60...

Update.. fired up the power washer and hit the tank after work. Tank is pretty clean. Now have cucumbers floating inside the tank. I am projecting a 2-3 days... it will be ready for soda bath. Need to source a petcock, foam for the air box, and some new seals. Hoping this will be a noob fix... I wil...

As figured no title... :( But for $50 daddy is going to have some fun. 527 miles... or maybe 10527? But it is mine for now... appearance is okay good for a 27 year old machine. It been out of commission for many years (+5 is my guess). Battery dead. Gas tank rusty. (already pull off and yanked out t...

Told to call back this afternoon.... afraid no title. But for $50 bucks what the *... if available, I will get it.

Foo Shoo.

Thanks.

http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/bid/3246858762.html Mike.. thinking about taking a $50 flyer on this? Think I may have the bug. Guy said it was still available? I know I am in the wrong section.... but I want you opinion. Thanks in advance.... "if you can't be handsome be handy"

Much Reps to Motor Mike... You found the Spree-tard. Fire right up. Tweaked the idle and mix jets... viola. Zipping around the n-hood at 30 MPH with 180 lb.

Thanks Mike for Caring... You are the Best.

I owe you...

Mike... sound slike you are on my issue - besides being a spree-tard. Heading back to the garage now.... will let you know how we did.

Thanks Mike... your good questions might have found the problem.

Best Regards.

Can you verify the proper alignment of throttle slide inside the bore... slot in slide aligns with tab inside bore to allow position correct for full slide movement and also allowing throttle stop screw to align properly with the short ramp on the slide. [The carb throat should go from completely cl...

Okay.... I have read most of the post with regard to carb cleaning. Recently bought a cherry 86 spree... with 1400 miles ($200). It had not been started in about a year and the battery was dead. When I got it home I kick it and it sputtered and tried to run. Thought it would be a good idea to drain ...
