Check ebay for parts

Check for air leaks around air filter and intake area.

sometimes you can free up the float by rapping on the side of the carb with a rubber hammer and don't have to take it apart.If that doesnt work clean the carb and you should be fine

That $1000 spree is back on ebay with the wild claims of rare and going faster than any spree I know of .I emailed the seller asking about modificatons and rareness here is the reply "Hi, this is almost new condition that is why it goes 40 mph with someone 120lbs, it has no mods done to it. thi...

going price for a decent one seems to be around $450 now.Think they are getting more popular with high gas prices.The one I sold went for $464 this week see http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... RK:MESE:IT

Maybe the filter is rated at too low of a flow for what you need.Try a higher flow filter.Is air filter clean?

What a find,and from a little old lady no less. It looks totally mint, stored indoors. I'm going to squirt some oil down the spark plug hole and let sit for a couple days before trying to start. It was last ridden in 1999. Any thing else besides changing gas and cleaning carb before starting? Want t...

Initial smoke is from the carb cleaner and starting fluid -run it a while and see if it evens out.If the spree hasen't been run for a few months it wouldn't suprise me to see a lot of smoke for a few miles.That happens in cars quite often.

How about a blurb when taillight does not lite when key placed in on position,and no response when you push starter button. Check fuse below positive post on battery . Might be blown ,or in my case on a non-starting bike I picked up the fuse holder was broken,so I just replaced it with an updated in...
