I basically have the same configuration as yours, except for a Vm16.

I had the same problems. (Nc50 1981)

At this point, you have a exhaust issue: you must increase your outward flow.

Gut your stock exhaust or change it.

In 2 cycle engines, exhausts must match engine size. (very important)

At least get your stock exhaust clean as a whistle. (inside of course)

Then, a jet in the 85 range should fit....that's what I have.

If you're four-stroking, you're running way to rich: reduce your jet size.

Check your spark plug, it might be fairly black...which is not good.

It should be light chocolate brown.

Your four-stroking might also be the result of unburned gas back flowing from the exhaust...again caused by your to large jet.

Took me 2 weeks to figure this out.

Keep it up, you're almost there.
