It's missing the hose from the carb to the air filter. You think that would stop it from starting?

should gas be in vacuum line

I cleaned my carb and my spree is still running like crap. Gas isn't getting into the head plug is dry. Has a hard time starting. I can see a small amount of gas in the vacuum line. Any ideas?

Re: spree will only start with starting fluid

Will run fine once started with starting fluid. Plug is dry when I check it after trying to start without starting fluid. Carb? Choke? Vacuum line? All of the above?
