Investigate... Check to see if you are getting consistent fuel. Check the air filter? Anything?

I took the carburetor apart to discover the float was stuck, so I continued to clean the rest of the carburetor, and now Sunny runs great! :imo:

I used K&N air filter cleaner to clean the filter and soaked it in 80 90 gear oil, ringed it out and placed it neatly in its stock airbox.
I removed the oil strainer and using compressed air, I blew out some contaminants.
I replaced the fuel filter with a new, smaller fuel filter. Replaced fuel lines. The previous filter was probably meant for a larger bike, it's hard to forget I'm working with a little less than 50cc's lol.
I have a full tank of gas so I don't want to remove the fuel strainer yet, that will be done by the end of the week.

My friend once told me "you take that Spree apart more than you put gas in it" - let's just say I'm hoping that won't be the case anymore!

Good Troubleshooting. Filter is a good prevention. Glad to hear is is running again.
