ok so my brother was driving my scoot on the highway when it made a high pitched sound then shut off. now wen i go to start it, it makes a high pitched sound, but doesn't seem like its trying to turn over. going to check petcock for fuel supply, but i think its electrical cause i don't think the starteris working right. it has over 2kmiles on it, any ideas?
thanks in advance!

I have no idea... could be the CDI... they can whine sometimes when the capacitors go...
Not fuel... it is probably electrical or mechanical...
You really need to post a video

When you try to start it, I take it that's by the electric starter switch and not the kick start? Can you move the kick start?
If it's a high pitched metallic shriek kind of noise that could be broken starter gear teeth, and it's just spinning and not properly engaging.
If you can't move the kick start, something may have jammed up.
If it made noises while on the move and stalled out, I'd pull the CVT cover to make sure it's all o.k. in there. Variator and or belt may have broken.
As sprocket says, it may be mechanical, so I'd physically check those first before trying any more to get it started. Pull the starter motor, remove CVT cover, and go from there if all look right.
