Restored this J125 last year , Would like to get it out and about this year or so on some local/ish rallies .
It lacks power tho thru the gears especially 2nd to 3rd takes about 10 mins to get up there and when it does if you hit a flyover it drops down to around 20mph (gps)
Does anybody have any suggestions ?? Thanks Jase

My old Cento lacked power through the gears, traced it to a partially blocked exhaust port, (don't know what the previous owner had been running it on :roll: ). Once cleared, all the life came back.
