    Its a deristrected 50cc Chinese scooter db50qt -11 and it was running fine 45moh max i used to get until one sunny day couple of days ago where it would firstly not go faster thsn 37mph which i thought okay its boiling hot so the cooling might not be ideal as it could get really hot ewsliy so it wont let me ride faster. I decided to clean my ped as it wqs a nice weather and after that it wqs the same 37mph max but the next day it wont go above 15 or 20 maybe (hardly) it sounds alright and i have no clue whats uo. Oil was changed 600km ago plus im about to fit a new oil filter and air filter but if that doesnt work. Im clueless

    Boiling hot days won't make any difference to the speed in this country, you should still be getting 45 mph.
    Strip and clean the carb, blow all the holes through, check the belt and rollers for wear.
    Check the clutch for wear
