 1980 Honda express Sr won't start So I bought my girlfriend a little blue and white Honda express. The thing is cute but it has an oil leak and if it sits for a couple of days it takes 20-30 kicks to get going...anyways I did an oil pump delete and I cleaned the carb and it fired right up? I waited two days and tried starting it any it sucked.... Not sure where to start for replacing stuff and getting it working. Any advice would be great!

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start I'm gonna assume that's got a manual choke...everything there working properly? Could be spark plug like Zumike said, too.

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start The choke on these things is super super weird. I want to delete the choke but I'm not entirely sure how. I think it would be awesome to have a different carb that has a manual choke...

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start Does that mean it's got an auto-choke? Have you checked that it's working like it should?

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start it has some sort of auto choke.. I have no idea how it works, I really want to just put a different carb on that has a manual choke and get rid of all the tubes... When i tear it down again ill let you know! and take pictures!!

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start That's one thing I thought I would miss before I started rebuilding...the ease of the autochoke. Now that I've got manual choke and it starts first kick, I don't miss it even a little bit.

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start So the only way to get this thing to manual choke would be to get a new carb correct?

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start It probably depends on the carb...any info on what kind it is? Or the manufacturer?

Re: 1980 Honda express Sr won't start Its a vacuum system controlled by the cylinder head temp. You can use regular 3/16 ball valve to manually control it. Start by replacing all the fuel and air lines.
