I have a 85 spree that i rebuilt the motor and it starts and runs great. After sitting for 2 or 3 days it wont start unless i put gas down the plug hole or put my hand over the back of the carb. Once i get it running it starts great even after setting for 5 or 6 hours. I have cleaned the carb 3 times and replaced the by starter and this didnt help. Any ideas would be great
Thanks

does the bike have the air cleaner on it normally? it sounds like your petcock might be bad. clean the petcock

sounds like to me u need to re-soak your air filter in some oil.

It does have the air cleaner on it normally. It a brand new air filter and the filter has oil on it. I have cleaned the petcock and it works fine. I have put a vac on it and gas comes out.
Thanks
