Hey everyone I got 49cc scooter i just bought 2 monthes ago.. its that type : at first everything was fine but since 2 weeks ago it would take him time to start and after it would start it would die 30 seconds later.. and it became worse and worse every day it would chocke on lights or whenever i would stop but after 30 minutes of driving and chocking it suddnley works fine.. but when i turn it off for few hours all the problems coming back yesterday it just stop running and even wthen u start the engine and full gas it will die after 10 seconds.. i checked spark plug and cable fuel filter and pipes.. everything works great i even cleaned the crabureator adjusted air and fuel mixture... seems like everything works fine.. i thought maybe its the automatic choke how can i check it ? or maybe its the engine compression ? due the engine start and run ? another info about the scooter its 2010 i bought it from an old lady it only had 15 miles on it . it was just laying in her yard for 2 years Now it has like 1000 miles and i still didnt change the oil.. might cause the problem ? any idea whats going on ? thanks for helping.. sorry for my bad english Adam.

Kinda sounds like it runs out of gas. Did you check the float height when you were in the carb? Get a good flow of gas out of the line when you crank it over?

this sounds super close to what I am experiencing with mine right now. I noticed this morning that my new spark plug was not getting wet. so i think i've narrowed my issue down to the carb. I bet yours is the same. I also noticed my oil smelled like gas, but my petcock tested ok...not really sure there but tomorrow morning i will be going through my carb to check it out...

1. Check Vacuum lines. Sounds like it idles quite high, then runs out of fuel. 2. Check the intake manifold. If it has cracks in it, it will not allow for proper vacuum to open the petcock.
Just a couple fresh suggestions.
