thanks - that totally worked. i won't know the new top speed until someone paces me, or i get a new speedometer, but it's more than 30. i can run the hills so much better now. this thing is loud - sounds like a dirtbike.

so i bolted on the polini kit and when i kicked it over the engine started racing really bad. i sprayed carb cleaner around and found an air leak around the intake. i used some of that liquid gasket crap around where it meets the carb and that helped a little, but it was still pretty bad. i also adjusted the throttle. then i crammed a bunch of gause in the airbox to restrict the flow. that made it

hey all. i just got my first moped - 78 sears free spirit yesterday. ran great all day. today, i went to fire it up, but alas - no go. i replaced the spark plug, which was totally wet with gas and oil when i pulled it out, and sprayed the carb down with cleaner. it sounds like it wants to start as long as i peddle, but when i stop, it just dies. any ideas? i don't know where to start. thanks,
