Ok, I picked up a Spree a few weeks ago that had been sitting a year or so. Replaced the battery, cleaned/gapped the plug. I removed and cleaned the carb. It was pretty clean to begin with but went through it to make sure there was nothing in the ports.
It cranks great, lots of juice, but won't start. It's getting a healthy spark AND STARTS WITH STARTING FLUID, but dies after a few seconds. It has plenty of gas in the fuel tank, and when I open the drain plug at the bottom of the bowl, gas comes pouring out so I figure it must be getting plenty of gas. These carbs seem so simple...but I must be missing something! Any thoughts? I'm tearing my hair out...want to get this baby on the road!
Can't get Spree to Start
