Loosing Power?

[Dane123UK]

Hi there, i have an aerox 100cc and it used to be really quick on acceleration now it sluggers and feels like it 'sticks' while throttling.

I mean has somthing worn down? like if clutch pads have worn, it might be sleeping causing the sticky feel? or worn down belt?

nothing to do with spark plug, changed all that a month ago. its has been doing it recently, i just thought i was used to the bike now and thought its not that quick if you think, but my friends dad went on it and said it was really slow on acceleration. when he said it flys when i bought it.

it also reached 60mph no problem, but now bearly gets there. once or twice a long ride when winds pushing me but without the wind then bwt 55mph.

can anyone help me?

So is Rupert Merdock who back in the 80's took all the football and other sports away from the hard working public by channeling it through an alternative media sourse making him self loads of cash. Corrupt tw@T, he's getting in the neck now!

Anyway sounds like fuel flow, it could just be the jets that need cleaning in the carb. Give the carb a good clean including the jets.

Is that easy to do? Or is it real fiddly? I mean easy as in 4 screws open, wipw, blow n then back on again?

[Dr. Quack]

Yep just like a jigsaw, take the float chambre off the bottom and unscrew the jets. Blow them out > clean the needle valve which is attached to the float > blow it out and replace.

Air filter may need cleaning/replacing.

Exhaust could have a build up of carbon in it which will cause it to loose power. If that hasn't been cleaned out for a while its worth doing.
