Free BBQ sauce to the one who has the answer!!!!
I have been trying to fix my 86 NQ50 for the past 4 months and still can't figure out what is wrong with it. I have done the following:
-new piston and rings and jug
-new bystarter
-cleaned carb 50+ times
-float seems to be fine in carb
-have checked reeds and new gaskets around reeds
-new plug(plug chop is brown/cocoa)
-have checked petcock for flooding
The moped will kick over and idle but when given gas will bog out and die. I can drive it but it doesn't more than 5 to 10 mph. I even had a friend who is quite the mechanic take a look at it and he can't figure out what is wrong. I have run out of solutions! I will give a free bottle of my dad's world famous Mississippi Heat BBQ sauce to the first person who can figure out the problem with my stupid moped. I am hoping to get this thing running soon, school starts again next week.

Today cleaned moped just to make sure it wasn't the exhaust. I started it up and the same problem happened, idles great but when I give it gas it revs up and then bogs down and eventually dies. Cleaned the muffler and put it back on and the same thing happens.
When I replaced the gaskets around the reed valve everything looked fine. Do you know of any tests that can be done?
Any other ideas?

Okay how about setting your air screw. If you know where it is then try this.If it is idling good after the engine is warmed up then go to your air screw and turn it either in or out until you hear the idle increase. Listen carefully and make sure idle is at its highest point. Leave the air screw setting there. Go back to idle screw and turn it down a bit until you hear a good even strong sounding idle. Your carburetor is now set to go.
Did you read my posts called "Reed valves did it"?I just went thru the exact same thing you have.I posted alot on this sight and alot of people thought is was everything but the reeds.I worked on my 85' Aero 50 for acouple of weeks and tested everything I could and I even pulled the reeds and thought"they look good that little gap won't hurt" WRONG!! I got new reed valve assy from Honda and gaskets and I new it was fixxed even before dropping it off the center stand.I could rev the negine on the stand and pull the back brake on without the bike bogging out.Before it would do it on the stand and while trying to take off on the slightes grade.Don't buy used ones.You could be just asking for the same problem!

Replaced reeds today. New gaskets around the reed assembly... stupid moped. still boggs down and then dies. If i cover half of the carb from the air filter box, then it will rev up, with out dying out. Once I stop doing this and turn off the moped it or let it idle to die, it won't start back up for 10-15 min. What else could it be?!?!?! thanks ahrenv
