My neighbor gave me his pocket bike that sat in his garage for three years. Of course it has collected lots of dust and dirt. I cleaned the outside body but not the engine or any of the mechanical parts. The bike runs but not as fast as I remembered. I use a 50:1 oil gas ratio. Should I have cleaned the engine? Or what could I do to make it run like new? Also the engine is 49cc.

Just ride it. You must have put new fuel in it if you know the ratio.
I think it seems slower because you were 3 years younger when you first rode it. You have grown and gotten heavier.
It could probably do with an oil change and don't forget to lube the chain.

Change the fuel, it has likely gone bad.

Change all fluids, tune-up, check everything, check tires for cracks and tread.
