If I remember right my stock 50cc weights were 6.5 grams. I put 4 gram one in. Much better.

If applying the rear brake kills the engine then you either have debris from the old belt inside the clutch housing keeping the pads engaged or you have broken clutch pad spring. Either way you will have to pull the clutch bell off and see what is going on there.
As for the high idle, are you saying turning the idle set screw has no effect?

Belt dressing lubricates and promotes slippage. Not something you'd want in your CVT. OK, I take it back. Guess I was taught wrong. Blame it on my high school auto shop teacher.  |

Belt width is a big one to look at. If they wear off 10 to 15% of their width replace it. That means if your belt width is supposed to be 18mm and it measures 16mm get it out of there.
Also look for signs of cracking and glazing. If your current belt is a cheap OEM then it wouldn't hurt to replace it now with a Gates or Bando.

Is the center stand rubbing on the CVT cover? There should be a rubber bumper mounted on the stand. Sometimes it goes missing.

Check for spark.Take the spare plug, put it in the spark plug cap and put the metal part of the spark plug on the valve cover of the engine. Crank the starter and see if the plug sparks while cranking.

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. Probably started his day by falling out of it!  |

You might want to try 5 or 6 grams. Would help a little on the hills and probably not affect your top end any. I weight 220 and my stock weights were 6 grams. I replaced them with 4 grams and upped my hill speed about 5 mph. my top speed also went up a little. The reason I replaced mine was at my weight the engine would only rev up to about 6000 rpm. now it revs to around 7200 rpm. More into the powerband.

I would clean the carb really well first.
Also, check that there is a rubber "O" ring installed on the fuel/air adjustment screw. If not it will never adjust right and could be a source for air leaks. The parts in that hole go in this order:
First, rubber "O" ring.
Second, metal washer.
Third, spring.
Last, adjustment screw.
Sometimes the "O" ring won't just fall out. You have to look in the hole and use a small pick to see if it is in there.
