My sons PW 50 runs like a huge turd and I can’t figure out why. It seems to just bog right down and has no power at all. It’s to the point where it will run ok (not good, just ok) for a little bit then all of a sudden it seems to load up and he can’t ride up the smallest of inclines without putting his feet down and helping it move.
I started running the non ethanol fuel in it because I worried the fuel was a problem. It hasn’t helped at all. I hope someone can help me out. I feel horrible he can’t ride the bike to its potential.

Air filter good ? Exhaust port / pipe not carbon blocked ? Decent compression ? Not much more to them.
The part where you say it runs fine and then load up is a little scary. If you put it on the stand snd then holf it wide open, will it clear out? Sometimes that's all they need.

Take the whole pipe off and use something to clean out the obstruction(packing).
