Could be float height related because of changing angle. Some scoots have sidestand kill switches, but that does the opposite and they won't start with the stand down.

It the engine sounds good we get it started perfect when its on the center safety stand when we drop it down it doesnt start i know you said about the floater i webt to a scooter shop he said could be more wrong with it but if its the floater which im just gonna replace the carb seeing as at that scooter shop they dont have carb kits

The back tire spins when you start it should it do that or stay nutral when you start it and spin when you rev it sorry i never had a scooter before just making sure its normal

The back tire should not spln it will burn your clutch up a stop sine.if your carb is that messed up I'd just wait until you get the new one.by the sound of it you will never get that carb to work right.

Would the tire spinning have to do with the carberator always reving like your hitting the throttle im trying to think if thats ever happened to any one else scooter

Yes.like I said I'd wait until you get new carb.then you will see the diffrents.if your on you scoot and all it wants to do is go then your clutch is engaged and all your doing is burning it up.with it engaging with the hi idle is not good.when you first start it is it at a real hi idle?

Yes it was really high it was around 7rpms i got it down but the throttle adjustment keeps turning and spinning on its own as you said the carb is messed up as the floater pen is bent when i get carb hope it makes a huge cgange if the back tire keeps spinning after we put the new carb on what should i do to fix the tire from spinning just adjust the throttle

OK the throttle cable you hook up to the carb.there's a screw with a spring to lower the idle turn it conter clook wise.that will lower the idle .if you turn it clook wise it will idle hi'er.

By the way what do you mean the throttle keeps turning by its self??? Do you mean the 2 nuts? If so tighten them down.

But if it were me I'd just wait until I got the new carb .don't mess with anything just put it on tighten every thing then hit the start .it should fire right up.then you can turn it.believe me iv only been on here a year.and the best thing you can do is read and read then read some more.after awhill you'll get it.this little mother's will make want you to pull your hair out but once you get it then you'll really want to pull your hair out.no just kidding or am I?
