Hey guys, sorry for a total newb question but I'm stumped. 85 spree won't start. Getting gas, I cleaned out carb multiple times (made sure all micro holes open), it's getting spark, good compression. Will start if I squirt gas/oil mix into cylinder. Once started in that fashion it will stay running ...
