SOURCE: Engine cutting out when open throttle. YAMAHA NEOS 50cc MOPED

i had a simuler problem with my honda cr 250 moto-x bike it would start fine and you could keep it ticking over with the throttle(i have deliberatly unscrewed the tickover in case i come off,it will cut out) when i got on it,it would go for about 400-500 metres then splutter and die and not start again for around 5 mins. i immediatly knew it was a fueling problem. so after stripping the carb and giving it a good clean out i was baffled when i got back on and it still done the same. i then dismantled the fuel tap cleaned it all out and put it back together and tested it,it was very very slow so i unsrewed my fuel cap a little and was greated with the familur gush it should deliver. problem solved! the vent in my fuel cap had crystalised up,so the fuel was coming out but the air was not getting in,causing a vacuum and slowing down the flow and basically emptying the carb quicker than it can fill back up!!! clean your carb,fuel tap and any vents in your cap or tank. if this does not work then your bike must be over fueling or low on compression.

SOURCE: cuts out on acceleration

if you have over 200 hours on this FS 80 then you may need a valve adjustment(yes this 2-stroke has valves). if you wanna try to do it yourself it should be set @ 0.1mm @TopDeadCenter. my advice is take it to any stihl dealer and let them do it. its scheduled maintenance

SOURCE: carb is getting clogged and spark plugs fouling

Carburetor cleaner will ruin the rings and do that.

My sons buggy won't run it coughs and splutters but won't actually run it is a Chinese thing 125 four stroke

Sounds like it may need some carburetor work. If you've stored it without any fuel stabilizer added, mixed well, and ran through the carburetor a little, even for as little as 30 days, the fuel can break down and leave deposits on the small mixture jets inside. Spraying some carb cleaner while starting and running will sometimes loosen up those deposits, but more often than not the carb will need to be taken apart and cleaned.

Hey guys, I have a 03 banshee that a just had completely rebuilt. Crank, pistons, pipes, the works. When I got it back it ran great. Then we noticed it seemed to not be getting enough fuel in the power...

1. How could you tell it wasn't getting enough fuel in the "power band?"..i.e. the upper rpm range...?
A "power band" is simply the RPM range where the engine makes the most power.. it is more pronounced on modified two-cycle engines.. it is NOT something you can buy or have "installed".
Adjusting the float level only accomplishes getting more (or less) fuel in the carb bowls to make it available to the jets. >>The JETS are what (and ONLY what) gets the fuel to the engine!<<
Spark plugs are read to tell whether their is a need for a jetting change.. if you do not know how to do this - STOP tinkering with your engine-PERIOD!
You need a factory shop manual to get the necessary specifications of the ignition system,,(resistance values)...then and only then can you adequately check the wiring and related components...
What is a hot rod crank? I have built numerous banshee racing engines.. just wondering about yours.. $3000 in an engine.. it should have come with 34mm carbs, new head, ported cylinders, etc...jetted by the person that built the engine... if it didn't you need a new engine builder!!!
Do you live near North Alabama??
