   Red plug takes 20 weight or 30 weight Non-Detergent motor oil.

   You MUST clean and re-gap the points. Do it. don-ohio

  Oh.......and only fill tranny to level of check screw in the side cover of tranny. And yes.....mix 4 oz. of good quality 2-stroke oil into each gallon of gas. I think you have either a bad spark plug or bad points contact.  don-ohio

Put a fairing on and maybe a set of leather saddle bags and you'll say "Life is hard but it's good".

  Thanks,Paul!

    Chris.....you have a GREAT,dependable engine there. When you get it running, if you put an inline see-thru paper filter on the fuel line it will probably never quit on you.

    Handy Bikes and Mopedwarehouse and Akron Moped have everything you'd ever need for that engine.

     I'd kit that baby with the 75cc kit from MWH for extra power.  don-ohio
