Bought a 1985 spree and it needed a new petcock and battery......got both and she fired right up... took it for a ride and it went 25mph for 1/2 a second .....then its just bogged out...cleaned the plug got new gas and cleaned the carb and it repeated..... any ideas on why it wont go??? by the way if i start it on the kickstand i can rev it up just fine.... just when it has to pull a load it boggs out.

Clean you carb again. Reving the engine on the center stand take less than a 10th the fuel than it does to make the engine haul the scooter down the street.
