I have a vip future champion 2014 50cc bored out to and 80cc. Her name is Lupita.I took off my carburetor and cleaned it. I put it back on and now when I try to start it it turns over maybe 3 or 4 times and then ceases to even do that. After it turns over a few times it just makes a weird sound, i guess sort of a clicking sound. One, maybe two clicks. I have checked the spark plug, battery, the hoses, and I made sure that I put the carb back together exactly how it was two days ago when it was running.
Help me please. This is my first scooter. Lupita is my first love and it kill to see her like this

That really sounds like a battery issue. You said you checked your battery. What did you do to check it? Its best to load test it. Most major auto part stores will test them for free.
Other things could be bad chassis grounds to your battery or bad connection to your starter/battery, or even the wires to the starter could be bad.
Slow cranking, then stopping, and a clicking sound (thats usually your solenoid clicking, cars do this too) are symptoms of a bad or weak battery. Dont assume that since it reads 12v+ with a meter that its good.
Edit: try jump starting it with a car or another scooter and see what it does. *supposedly with a scooter you should not have the car engine running that is jumping it off, so leave the vehicle youre jumping it off with not running.*

Ok I will double check battery in the morning but when I tested it I put it on a battery charger that tells you if it is charged and how much. I will get back to you in the a.m. and let you know if I got anywhere I appreciate it!!!!!!

Unless that battery charger can put a load on it to test it it wont tell you if the battery is good or not. Only a load tester will.
A battery can be fully charged but stillnot be capable of delivering power when needed.
Most major auto part storea will test a battery for free.

try starting the bike with the battery and the charger on it if the charger has a boost mode for jump starting. If it starts then you have a battery issue. If not, you may have a starter motor, ignition, or carb tune issue
