spree starving for fuel
Have 85 spree that has not run for 3-4 years. Replaced the gas and it fires but will not run. Starving for fuel. Checked vaccum line and there is vaccum, but fuel is not flowing from fuel valve. What should I do. Also have 85 Aero 50 and it runs like a top. Thanks

Re: spree starving for fuel
check to make sure that the tank is not clogged, remove petcock and see if fuel flows from the tank if it does then clean or replace petcock. are you sure it is enough vacuum? pull the 2 hoses off and suck on the bottom one and see if fuel flows from the top hose.

Re: spree starving for fuel
you need to take the carb apart and see if the float is allowing fuel to enter the bowl

Re: spree starving for fuel
there is no vacuum to open the petcock but when i remove the air boot and cover the intake with my hand i regain vacuum and the bike will start
Re: spree starving for fuel
