my 1982 nc50 express regularly reaches 38 mph (downhill, full throttle and a decent tail wind) but still resists starting without great difficulty on chilly mornings, any suggestions?

the choke doesn't help it get started when cold?
This may sound crazy, but... try removing the gascap, replacing the gascap, and
then starting it. I had an old car that would NOT start on cold mornings unless I
did that. I got the suggestion from an old timer who I thought was nuts till it worked
My fuel system was messed up to start with, when It got really cold, the tank
would create a vacum and suck the gas back up the line.
thanks toad, i'll try it tomorrow
My 1978 honda express did this too. On mine, there was a switch on the gas cap, to make a vacuume, if you forgot to turn that switch, the suction would build and the moped would die.... untill you opened the switch or took off the cap
