Just took it for a test drive around 1 mile or so with like 6 starts from a stop. It will just do just 25mph. When I go WOT it just gasps like the fuel is GONE. That's like anything above 1/2 throttle tries to kill eng. Very Good idle and low RPM throttle. This bike only has 950 miles on it
What now?

The stock filter is hard to describe they are only $5 at a honda dealer.

Maybe I missed it and hope I did not * anyone off, but I'm looking for what to look at next that could cause the bike to not take gas as I described.
All I can think of is take it all apart agian and look. I still need to mess with that Auto Bystarter.
Thanks for the tip on the filters. I pick a pair up and get some Honda Oil

Hey it's the weekend and my favorite task lol
anyone
Trying to get an idea what to look for.
NQ-50 will not take gas above like 1/2 throttle. I can ease it up to like 25mph but it gasps if a squeeze in anymore. Had the carb off 4 times now I know lol
Odd part is on this last go around, it worked perfect for maybe 2 min when 1st started.

My 84 Spree is doing the EXACT same thing. Let it sit and idle 10 seconds, or with engine off for same and it takes off fine.
When the floatbowl gets low it bogs and will die if I do not keep a low throttle setting.
These bikes are not taking fuel from the tank! I've checked everything. I think mine has a problem in the carb preventing fuel from flowing in at all/sporadic/insufficient rate.

If you every find out why, let me know and I'll do the same. Just post in on this thread. I'll get an email notification like this time.
I have concluded that this little issue has bested this sites SME's
Mine is odd and this may be a big HINT. I had my carb off at least 4 times. Upon stating and running after the last time, it worked 100% perfect for maybe 3 min . Now hot or cold, it feels like it will not take the fuel above 1/2 throttle.

Take a look a the recent thread "Fuel Question" posted by Gobucks. He had a vacuum petcock that flowed fuel, just not enough for full throttle. Could check the fuel strainer in the tank too.

Running without a stock unmolested airbox/filter will make it run like s*** and burn it up.
