ok I got it figured out......the tall tube by the tube with the jet in it was clogged. used some throttle body cleaner to soak it in the tube, used compressed air and gunk flew out of it. got it all put back together and it still is a little funny riding but I think it is from the centrifugal clutch...

The air box does have the seal.....i ordered a new air filter just to be safe, i did remove the tube under the jet and cleaned it too (does it have to be put back in a certain way?) Not sure about the muffler if its original or not....how much do 68 jets run cost wise? and where do i get one?

Main jet is a 65....... i talked to the guy that did my rings.....he honed the cylinder...and also he broke the bottom ring when he installed it the first time and installed another top ring in the bottom ring slot.....he said it wouldnt make any diference except a little more smoking during operati...

I realize this is an older thread, but i am having the same exact problem......did you find an answer for it?

Got an 85 sprre i did and engine swap on, iowa model engine swapped in with correct carb. New rings just installed. Get it all back together and the thing starts just fine and will idle, but giving it throttle and it will reach a certain point and just sound like its starving itself for gas or its f...

So which set of rings do i need, there are a few of them listed for sale......i know the ones are for over-bored, but theres a (NIPPON) set and a standard set......how do i know which one i need?

Well....i retested my compression with a different tester today and i have 80 for the reading, put a cab full of oil in the hole and retested at 110......looks like i need me some rings.....85 nq50, wheres a good place to get em cheap?

Yeah it was pretty d*** loud, i dont think i ran it long enough to burn a ring, i bet it wasnt even 5 seconds before i turned the switch off, it was smoking really bad when it fired up so i shut it off, just wanted to test that it would start

Keep in mind everytime i tried to restart it, even after taking the exhaust off again, i removed the plug and cleaned it with cumbustion chamber cleaner and then reinstalled the plug and then tried to start it

The pipe has plenty of flow, and it doesnt start anymore even when i took te exhaust off and tried to start it again.....

I pulled the plug and cranked it a few times and nothing came out

Thanks for the info, gonna try it tomorrow, hopefully thats all it is, it had oil in the oil tank bout 1/4 to 1/2 full before i took it off and cleaned it out and changed the oil...when i started getting this thing back on the road (or attempting to anyways)

A little more info, its an 85 nq50, the air box assembly is all the way on, will it do me any good to take the head off and clean the head with a sandblaster to clear it all off(the inside of the top of the cylinder head where the spark plug goes in), i have a blaster cabinet, i believe its a bead b...
