I just bought a 1978 Honda Hobbit off my friend for $100. It's my first moped. It hadn't been started up for approx. 2 years. I drained it of all fluids and replaced them, replaced spark plug and got it to start up nicely. After riding it for 30 minutes i came to almost a complete stop and then opened the throttle completely and after i had it open for about 50 yards, it started to stall and then completely stopped. I tried to start it a number of time after and it wouldn't start. I took out the spark plug and cleaned it and put it back in. it didn't start. i replaced the spark plug too.I then dismantled the whole engine to get to the carb and i cleaned that and made sure the tubes in it were clear with an air compressor. I then put everything back together and it still didn't start. I can't figure out what to do next. Does any one have a clue of what to do? Also if you have any others tips i should know for as new Honda Hobbit owner, i'd like to hear them. Thanks
