MY QUESTION IS SHOULD FUEL BE FLOWING OUT THE GAS LINE WHEN I REMOVE IT FROM THE CARB?
because mines dry and I tried blowing on it and couldn’t blow through will try and suck in 1 sec
Just got another 1987 Honda Spree, Red with only 401 miles on the odometer. Been garage kept looks mint. Not sure why they never make it easy to add pics here but it looks nice.
Cleaned the carb inside, sorta dirty sat over a year. Then opened belt cover and seen the kick starter gears were both worn to * and had busted off teeth. Like someone went full retard on tryna start it when it was froze up. Honestly I think they did that before I showed up lmfao trust me I just know
They said new battery but sat for a year after buying it, tried losing charging it and it doesn’t really last long under load and my scooter eventually dies if I’m not on the gas. Takes a min but it’ll die idling.
i was joking about sucking on it

If you remove that hose from the intake and suck on it (not joking) fuel will run out of the hose to the carb.

The problem is likely to be found to be a clogged pilot jet, clogged choke-well jet, or air passage from the air horn to the bystarter circuit.
