NEED help!
My idiot friend put mixed gas/oil fuel into my honda spree when he was borrowing it today. I guess he drove a little ways on it fine until it bogged down and died. I siphoned out all the mixed gas, drained the carb, and put in regular fuel. It revs all the way up when on it's stand but is completely bogged down when i try and ride it. It reaches 10mph at the most if it doesn't die trying to get there. Does anybody know what damage mixed fuel would do to a moped? Could this even be the problem? The carb was completely cleaned before this and it ran perfectly hitting 35 mph.

i wouldn't take anything apart to clean it. bikes that run premix have fuel filters, jets, and fuel lines. that isn't going to matter.
what will matter is that your plug is probably fouled!
go change that and report back.
i have actually started some of my bikes on premix with just a little in the tank so that i don't have to worry about the oil pump being completely bled and the motor starting without proper lubrication. then when i'm sure all is good, i just dillute the crap out of the premix by topping off the tank - no biggie!

Add a whole can of SeaFoam, top off the tank, and drive the crap out of it.

At least he didn't run it without oil. I bought a STIHL 039 chainsaw (64.1 cc's, bigger than my Elite) on eBay, knowing it had a wrecked engine. It was very obvious it had been run wiithout 2 stroke oil. Very deep scoring, and the rings were scored too. The bar oil tank was filled with 2 stroke oil. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

If you run mix in the tank and run the oil injector to you are leaning the crap out of your air/fuel mix. Oil is not combustable.(It will burn but not expand like gas) When you have 1 part oil(injector) 9 parts gas 20 parts air.(for example) You have good combustion. If you add oil to the gas, now you have 4 parts oil, 6 parts gas and 20 parts air. (LEAN) The oil displaces the gas. Check your plug and see if its white, or you might of got lucky and fouled it first.
Just a thought..

sea-foamed it and changed the spark plug with a new one that i had lying around for a while. Tried kickstarting it for 20 minutes with nothing doing until i realized i smelt gas and saw that i had forgot to close the drain on the carb. But anyways it was the spark plug that got fouled up. seafoamed it and get +3 more mph on the thing and runs like she did before. thanks for the help, just in time for the weekend.
