    Finally managed to start my NRG today so I took it for a spin, it struggled to pull off and was bogging until the clutch kicked in then the usual hairdryer noise start and it took off. When reaching around 50mph it starts cutting out and bogging badly. I have to release the throttle and put it back on, then it 'might' pick up. While it was out it totally cut out and wouldn't start so I had to push it home (LONG).

    I've tried tweeking the carb but no difference at all...I managed to stop to excesive smoke coming out the exhaust thats's about it.

    Someone please help

    update, it stopped starting and turns out it was a spark plug that was a week old. But its back to bogging again...carbs all fine, brand new plug plug, it does start but just bogs and cuts out. Or when I touch the revs it dies, what could it be?
