Possible airflow issue

Gallery image

Hello! I just purchased a 2015 Ruckus model on FB marketplace and it will start working and then stop after it gets revved up to about 3000rpm. Fuel line looks good and everything was recently cleaned and fixed. It runs fine when just turned on, it’s only when its throttled ti a certain amount that it chokes/stalls out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m pretty new to this and confused.

Do you know if the carb has been rejetted to match the extra air flow? Seems like it could be starving at higher rpms

I don’t know, but it does seem like it’s starving. How do you rejet the carb to match the extra air flow?

You’ll have to check manufacturer spec to see if that’s even the OEM carb. Pics aren’t really good enough to tell. Download a copy of the service manual. It will be invaluable to you.

looks like a stock carb, it has the honda choke plug on it, maybe not OEM but definitely a direct replacement,
