    Honda C 50

    Hi , I got my 1975 Honda C 50 going again , I know it's not a "real " bike but fun to use short distance .
    It starts well and runs well till it get's to a good running temprature .
    Than it starts back fireing and when I reduce refs it stalls ( stop at intersection ,etc ) and is very hard to get going again .
    Does anyone have a suggestion what's wrong with it ?
    I just fitted a new spark plug , new battery , cleaned the carb and drained tank and filled with new petrol .
    Cheers

    Thanks Guys for your replies , great !
    I don't think it's the choke - checked that . The fuel cap would be a nice easy fix - I'll check it out .
    Not sure about the ignition system , how can I tell ? It has a battery ( and did not start with the old broken one ) .
    Is the condenser the silver thing next to the battery , o does it sit with the coil ?
    Thanks again , cheers Marc

    What is the ignition system (magneto? battery and coil?) - failing when hot is a symptom of coil or condenser break down
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Sounds like the choke is on.
    Make sure the fuel tank cap still breathes as well.
