1. use english
2. i dont know
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I make a compression test and everything look ok , a clean the carburator and i shoot a lot of carburator cleaner after the be sure ... and the air filter is clean ... i think is a problem with the gaz valve.

try setting your air screw on your carb at 1.25 turns out. engines run different under load.

Sorry sounded like ghetto to me and not a french guy trying to use English.

HondaSE50:I would recommend you get a copy of the Mozilla Firefox web browser, it has a built in spell checker so you wont spell gas "gaz".

I would try cleaning the carb.

Check spark plug. My elite was running real lean and acted just like what you're describing. The electrode was melted and insulator blistered. Ran great on stand, and died out before the end of the block.

Did you remove the small brass cartridge under the main jet and clean it out?http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5389 just blowing it out works but you will never get all the gunk out without removing it.
