Bad Gas Mileage?

[sun4fj]

My "summer motor scooter" Spre Honda 1986 49cc - gets poor
gas mileage? I believe it gets like 20 or so - mpg. The engine
runs very well, and I'd guess with me (200lb +) on it - it runs
like 32 mph. It starts very easily, and runs very well.

BUT - it just gets poor gas mileage. I had a Honda dealer look
at it last week - they cleaned the air cleaner, and changed the
spark plug(s). Not much better.

Are there carb jets available for these?

Thanks,

My 1986 Honda 49cc Spree - has 2922 miles.

It runs very well, is in very nice shape - and has been
only used "summers". Always stored under a cover in
summer, in a building in winter. Its starts first kick -
runs very nice - just doesn't seem to get the GAS
MILEAGE such a small engine should?

When I cleaned the air filter, and replaced the plug(s)
last summer - both were clean and looked good?

.... little black Spree, 2 baskets, shiny, mirrors,
new battery, electric start, ..............
