flooding?

Post by No_Stopping_A_Spree »

Hi all, When I start my '86 spree it starts up flooded(after it sits all night) and really spits out white smoke from the exaust, how should I adjust the carb so it doesn't start flooded all the time?

And also where is the coil boot located?

thanks in advance, your site has helped me alot.

use genuine honda 2 stroke oil (GN2) and the coil boot is located on the right side of the tire cover. You might be able to see it in my avator.

I thought it was the float but i thought i would check just to make sure. As for the oil thing, I am using a cheap oil(I don't remember what it is called) I think it is $2.75 for a quart. I found better stuff(Forgot the name) that I am going to get. thanks again.
