Clutchs are sorta easy on the scooter motors.
Maybe check to see if the pipe is plugged.
Wouldn't hurt to know what the compression is too.

Got home fires right up runs great for about. 1 min then what's to die let off gas idles down and runs smooth if I lift the tires off the ground revs up good. Also after it sat for about 5 min leaking alittle out of the tube

80 is low. You need a new piston/bore.
Unless the head gasket is leaking.

Just to make sure, you did remove both jets and make sure all was well?
