I've had this engine for quite a while and filled the gas tank for I don't know how many times. The problem I have is that recently overnight my bike noticeably lost power and speed on the straight-aways. I recently changed the sprocket from 44T to 36T and understand the concept with the speed change. It was great I went nice and fast but basically after this change this problem occurred! This bike started up for me no problem, I rode around with impressive speed, then I loosened the throttle and it was as if later I couldn’t go that fast anymore as before again. I thought it was a fluke but on my way back home it became so weak I had to start pedaling.
I cleaned the wires, cleaned my original spark plug, messed with the gas on/off, and then later cleaned the air filter. Problem did not fix when I tried to start her up again. All I got was her having the hardest time starting while making these loud unhealthy popping noises occasionally. When it finally started the engine was running only when the clutch was pulled in out of gear. I checked gaskets after that but all looked fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone who may know the answer to an easy fix?
