Welcome to the forum!

I would like to suggest adding some front brakes to your bike. If you break a chain you're going to have a hard time stopping with the coaster brake. It's always nice to have a backup when stopping!

It’s better to have a front brake, I add them to every bike I build. You can add a side pull brake that mounts using the fender bolt, look for long reach brakes, mine are 96mm reach. Measure from the bolt down to the rim for a good estimate. BMX. style are heavier and do a good job. Something like the picture below can be found on eBay.

You may have to do some carb adjusting.

If you use regular old pump gas, that could be the issue, or no fuel filter. Pop the float bowl off the carb and rinse it out, might be all it needs.
