'85 Spree Cranks but wont start

Post by Zgarvey16 »

I have a 1985 Honda spree that I got from the side of the road. I went through the entire engine. I have spark, compression, and the engine turns over. However I don't think I am getting fuel to the carb. I cleaned both the carb and the petcock and have both the vacuum hose and fuel line hooked up to the appropriate connections.

I noticed another connection on the bottom backside of the carb, is there a tube that needs to be hooked up to that leading somewhere else? What else should I try to get it going, I'm starting to run out of ideas.

Thanks,
Zane

Got any pictures of the back nipple your talking about? I think that one in the back is just an over flow. How did you check you were getting fuel ?

Is the airbox on it, all sealed up tight, with a clean, oiled air filter ?
