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.

i think that ur float needle is sticking a little bit. the smoke should be a blueish white.

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.

Clean out all that cheap marine oil from the tank and lines b/f you switch over.
