New to the NQ50
I just bought a '84 nifty fifty from a neighbor of mine. It was running decent the first few days and then just yesterday I got it up to 30 mph and usually it stays just over 25 mph. But I was just riding it around my condos and ate the pavement pretty hard. Now it accelerates poorly and wont go over 20 mph. Any ideas? Sorry guys I'm just learning about these things I plan on putting a few hundred dollars into it next spring. I want to learn the ins and outs of the motor first. I've never worked on cars or engines I have built my own computer though so I am good with my hands. The guy I bought it from has TONS of tools so he can help me do most repairs. I'm planning on fixing up all the plastic and painting it lime green with some sort of accents. Then totally re-building the engine and getting a new seat cover, brighter light, and all the other little goodies. In an hour or two I will post a picture up of it. The NQ50s are SWEET!

I'd look and make sure that your airbox didn't break or come off the carburetor, If your intake isn't right you'll loose power.
