    Are the revs dying out when it's running out of power? Or does it rev it's tits off without going anywhere?

    Yeah that's not the clutch or belt...
    Rings? Air filter? Plug?

    Take the air filter off, see if it's better or worse.
    If it's better with the filter off, put it back on, then drop the main jet size down one size at a time
    If it's worse with the filter off, put it back on and go up one jet size at a time
    Set the fuel/air mix screw at 2 turns out from fully in
    Could be someone has played with the carb before

    I have took the carb off and it has a 62 in it but what should it be if bike has no mods on it it looks a stock bike to me.


    Thanks

    62 sounds about right. Or is it 72 stock?

    I’ve looked up it seems to be 62 the carb is 12 how will I know if it’s derestricted what got me was on it’s stand ran sound but when you tried to ride it it would be fine for 20 yards then bogged but if you stopped it would rev up again would only do 10 mile an hour

    I think it's a pairs device. Emissions stuff...
    Get it running right before you look at tuning...

    How would I start to maybe upgrade the bike with some sort of kit say a 70 kit what would I need as this is doing my head In it ticks over great on stand but as soon as you ride it only gets too 20 ml an hour it’s as though as soon as it has weight on it it won’t pull.

    Get it to run right before you put a 70 kit on it. 50cc should get you like 50mph? Steve?
    Do as Steve says. Take the filter off and see how it is.
    Also try not going full throttle, but like 95 percent full.

    I have was first thing I changed it’s a mystery
    Which is main part responsible for pulling power and turning back wheel because when on stand you would think everything ok it revs to full throttle and back wheel flys round but as soon as you try to rid it there’s no pull power.

    I honestly think it's a fueling issue. Like the main jet is either too big or too small, or possibly the rings are nearly gone...
