1985 Spree problems... please help...

Post by drl33t »

i have a spree and i have been having some problems getting it to run right. my lattest broblem is that when i lay into the throttle, it will 'bog' down and try to die unless i let off the thottle. i have jerryrigged a air tube and made a air filter out of some foam, i have also cleaned the carb very well and have done a bunch of other cleaning to it but this problem is still with me.
i can get it to run right when i hold and adjust my fingures over the carb to get it right. when i do that it runs great!
so now i am looking for a factory air hose and factory air filter it solve the problem of no back pressure because that is what i think it is. so if anybody has theas parts, a price would be great and if anybody has any other sugestion on what the proplem might be would be great too! thanks

It's your filter setup causing the issue. Contact Greg at uspmale@yahoo.com or check the parts for sale board.
