Help with 2 stroke 70cc moped

[Erikx45]

I've riden it in the rain after work, it was fine I parked it up in a bike shed away from rain and went out on it again half an hour later, about 300m down the road i stopped at a red light when I felt something was off, low power and I realised it don't go past 10mph but revs pretty high. I had to ride it home at 10mph.  I cleaned the carb aswell. 

 

(Aprilia "49cc") 70cc 2 stroke automatic (2001)

(I brought it like this)

What's been happening ^^

 

Any ideas?

 

 

EDIT: fixed next morning.i cleaned the carb the day before in the evening and put it back together and just let it sit. Getting a better air filter to avoid this happening again

Sounds like the revs are rising but the bike is not gaining speed, could be the clutch is worn out and needs replacing. I take it that the bike has had a big bore kit fitted to make it a 70cc moped, this would put more strain on the clutch if it hasnt been uprated to.
