84 Sprintfire - starter fluid only...

Post by Ramanonos »

New here. Looks like I don't have permission to post in tech section? Anyways, just got a Sprintfire running with my 12yr old son. We cleaned tank, carb, new plugs New wires. Runs great. But can only start by spraying starter fluid in carb. I can see the fuel not reaching carb until she kicks over for at least 2 secs. Would prefer a permanent fix. Starter fluid never good for an engine. Plus the airbox rubber boot is a monster pain to get on/off carb. Ideas? Fuel pump seems fine once running. Hopefully the starter fluid spray is not how it goes. The rubber airbox boot going on/off to get carb access is killing me. Thanks!

Anyone can post in tech, maybe you were actually in FAQ?
