I'm glad the new plug worked. Make sure you have the idle speed set high enough. For some reason 50cc scooters are sensitive to that. I went through five spark plugs finding that out.

Honest. I had this trouble with a Lance Charming 50cc. First, make sure you're running a fuel system cleaner like Seafoam in it with every tank. Also raise the idle a few RPM. The plugs load up at a slow idle and CDI ignition will crack the insulator clearing it out. No joke.
