slow on the pick up

[mattrick]

husqvarna moto 50cc.having trouble with speed pick up when i wind the throttle out.it stays at low revs and sounds like its choking/strugling to get up to speed,then after about 5 seconds the speed picks up the way it should.wondering if this is a carburetter problem.any ideas anyone

Certainly sounds like a fuelling issue. I assume this thing is a centrifugal clutch and you're not just half stalling it. Clean your air filter

thanks for your reply.it has a normal 1 down 4 up gear change.not sure about clutch thing you are on about.will clean filter and see what happens.thanks again.

Ok so you do have a clutch lever and you change gear yourself. How long have you been riding are you sure you're not just half stalling it as you pull away?

sounds like you are flooding the engine

change down a gear

yes i do have a clutch lever and do change gears myself and if i knew what a centrafugal clutch was i would have answered a bit better than my previous response you funny tosser.also how can i flood the engine while the bike is running.thanks for your time
