In my 86 Spree, I found the hard plastic hose that links the airbox to the carb is not able to do that. If I put it properly in the airbox, it will not reach the carb and vice-versa. Now I wonder if the problem is a bent hose or something else... suggestions?
Have you had the airbox off lately?
If ..Yes
Then you may have re-mounted it wrong.
One of the mounting tabs may be on the wrong sides of the bosses it mounts to
However.... Spree airboxes do tend to 'sag' away from the carb.
All the mounting screws need to be in place.
If that still doesn't work
Use some wire or duct tape to 'pull' it back into place.
And are you using the 'hoseclamp" that holds the boot onto the carb ?
Got to have that.

Actually, I have never taken it off. Lazy, huh? =)

I will check that just in case the previous owner did not mount it right =)

Well, the clamp that was trying to hold the boot to the carb did not seem to be able to clamp tight enough to hold the boot in place. I guess I will have to find something similar but that works ;)
