Verucci 150?

[Randyjaco]

Last week I picked up a non-working 2007 Verucci 150 for cheap. I did a little cleaning of the fuel system and it now runs pretty good. It starts easy, idels well and top speed is 65 Mph. On the down side, there is some hesitation in acceleration at about 30 to 40 Mph. There is also some substantial rattling in either the transmission and/or muffler on deceleration. Are these just faults of the beast or is there anything that can be done to correct the problems?
Any thoughts?

Thanks

Randy
