I looked around for a while and chose this one as i like the colour (blue/white) and the chunky 80's style. Anyways, I can't seem to find much info about this model, I did come across something that said this was a European only model (greeeatttt).

If I can get the electric starter working, I think I'll just leave the bike alone and ride it. the other is to buy the $20 reed block from an NQ50 - it bolts right in and has bigger reeds. gives yo ubeter response and power. the one we did like five years ago for grins at SF scootre centre didn't even get re-jetted and it was fine. gives yo ubeter response and power.the one we did like five years ago for grins at SF scootre centre didn't even get re-jetted and it was fine.
Played with the jetting a bit. It is wanting a very small jet, not really variating under riding conditions, stock vario so drill weights or whatever you want to do. Zero recollection if this is case matched at all, I bet the dr would prefer case matching maybe act weird if it weren't. I sort of think I didn't because I wasn't sure I wanted to commit is cases to the dr.Idles good, lights, horn, and kill switch all in order. If I can find a stock cylinder I wil test it out.
Forgive me if this gets posted twice. Had a glitch during last post. I know nothing about these bikes. Tank is clean. $250 Pickup in NJ(edited)
