I can get the solana cranked up but can't get it adjusted to where it will get up to speed when I ride it. It'll do 10-15 mph at the most but when I have it on the center stand it'll rev up like it's supposed to. I don't hear the clutch slipping or any problems with the variactor but I do hear it not getting up to the rpms as well as it'll only pick up speed at around 1/2 throttle. I took the starter bendix out and it's currently in the longbo so I'm able to ride it without the cvt cover off and watch what's going on in there. I know I need a belt for it because the teeth are worn down a bit but I don't think that is the main problem with it.

Could be quite a few things, but if it's throttle dependent I'd look at the carb. Running well on the stand and not under load is often related to a main jet issue. Operating OK up to 1/2 throttle but not beyond is also commonly a main jet issue. If it's sputtering it's probably rich. If it's a more clean sound then prob lean.
If the stock air box is not installed or if it's not in original condition this may happen.

I just checked the valves and the intake valve was a little tight so I've adjusted it out and the exhaust valve was just right.

I know it has a 130 main jet in it which would I'm starting to think is the problem. I'll run over to the only shop I trust and see if they have a 90 main and see if it'll solve the problem

That's pretty huge. Stock I was around 75-80 @40ft elevation in warm weather. Modified airbox I range from around 85 up to maybe 95 when it's very cold.

I just picked up a #82 for it and I'll give it a try

I've got it in and I'm having a hard time getting her to crank to idle. I guess I'll have to adjust the air fuel mix until I get it right

Maybe it was way lean to compensate for the huge main jet?

Brent is right. That 130 jet was WAY huge  If the float level is too high that will also cause it to run rich. A high float level requires less vacuum to pull fuel so more gets sucked up. On the other hand, a low fuel level in the float chamber requires more vacuum which has the effect of requiring higher vacuum to suck up fuel, thus leaning the overall mixture. Unlike the copper jets, the float level affects the entire range from starting to WOT. Make sure noone adjusted the float level too low in an effort to compensate for the huge jet. Too low will make it difficult for the carb to deliver any fuel for starting. If the plug gets wet during starting or you smell raw fuel after repeated failed starting sessions, you're probably getting too much fuel sucked up. You could raise the float tang and lower the fuel level just a bit. Also, with all that starting, you might want t connect a charger to the battery to keep it topped up because starting drains it quickly. Lastly, remember to allow the starter to cool for 15 minutes after 1 minute of attempted starting. You're gonna love the scooter once it runs right |

Well I know tue float lvl was set too low and I've got it set where it sits level when I hold the carb upside down with the 82 main. Now it'll try to start run for a couple of seconds bogged down like its rich and the shut off. I've got the air fuel mixture screw set 2 1/2 turns out like in the walkthrough so I know I need to lean it up some. But I can get it running long enough to get it set right
