I have a 40cc tanaka GEBE kit and I rode it the other day and it was fine. Fast and smooth as usual.
However, when I started it up today, it seemed to be idling a little lower than usual. When I took it out for a test ride, it seemed a little sluggish off the start and slow to get up to full speed. Once it reached top speed, it seemed to slow down sporatically. It wasn't a drastic slow down, more like somone was hitting the brakes randomly just enough to get the brake pads to touch the rim and then off again. The engine sound didn't change at all so it's not like it's sputtering or anything. It's the strangest thing and I've never had an issue with it so it's surpising. Any ideas what it might be?
