Just like the title says. My little 90 runs like a top, idles fine, revs up fine but when I ride it (up a small hill) it seams to be lacking any power. My 1984 110 will smoke right by it. I am sure it is a jet issue but I don't know where to start.

It might be your clutch discs/plates slipping and weak springs? That may be why it feels that way...possibly? just a thought.

Thats a pretty nice 90 I'd say.

where does your spark advance come from?
does the 90 have a spring loaded plate behind the points that's supposed to move?

I agree check your point gap. Play with it a little. If your plug isn't completely fouling out, or white I would look at point gap. Adjusting .012 to .014 makes a HUGE difference on my 70's. Playing with your gap (sounds kinda funny) doesn't cost anything, just remember where you started so you can always put it back if needed.

How's compression? I have the same lack of power with one of my 90's, but I think it needs the top end rebuilt.
