Honda spree only starts with starting fluid

Hey guys. I'm picking up a 1985 honda spree on Wednesday and i've never owned a scooter so i need some advice. The guy i'm buying it from says it runs good without issues but he said it needs starting fluid to fire up. What should i look for to fix this issue? Thanks
