Hi all, I finally got my Wife's scoot out of storage and can't get it going. The carb is thoroughly cleaned, New plug and fresh battery. Checked for spark and good. It will start with starting fluid shot into the cylinder. I double checked float height. Compression seems ok as it ran fine last fall. I'm thinking fuel delivery, reeds or bad gas. Only about two tablespoons of gas drain from the bowl, is that about normal? Vento Tri ton, bone stock. Any help much appreciated!

Is the plug wet or dry after you try to start it? Usually with bad gas or reed problems I get wet plugs. You should be able to smell bad gas, but if it was stored more than a month or two I would replace the fuel.

The plug looks kind of dry like just a mist of gas is reaching the cylinder.
Maybe the auto choke is getting bypassed? Fresh gas is the next step for sure.

Started over with fresh gas, still no start. I swapped out the auto choke from my parts bike and bingo! Back on the road.
