OK turned the ratio all the way shut and it did not die. But the white smoke was cut down drastically. It will stay running now with the rear brake held. I was able to run it around the apartment complex up to about 20 mph and it was running good and now it has very little white smoke now but is still idling high. I will pull the plug tommorrow and take pictures of that also.
trying to get pictures to upload from photobucket but I am having problems and I have to go to work.

I purchased it not running and was told it was a fuel pump issue. I started working on it to determine the exact problem. That has been all my post till now. The scooter, as I was told, has a new carb, cdi , and battery. The carb does look brand new. I have not changed anything on the carb. Could the fuel pump be bad?? And I will get pictures of the carb tomorrow.

Still the same problem after setting the fuel ratio, I have to crack the throttle for it to fire and when it starts warming up I am getting the white smoke. Also I can not get the idle low enough to stop the rear well from turning. As well as the engine dying when the rear brake is applied and held.

And thank you all for the help. Been working on card for 20+ years and I was worried a little scooter was getting the best of me.

The plug was wet. And now it is running but I have a strong gas smell and white smoke. Cranking I have to hold the throttle almost half open and while running I can not get it to idled down enough to stop the rear wheel turning

Alleyoop, the engine just turns over and never attempts to fire. I am going to try and check the timing tomorrow and check back in.

I have set the valve so next I will check the timing. I have never set the timing on a scooter. Where are the timing marks and how do I set it?

Just bought a united motors gp1r and it does not start, it will turn over but not fire. The carb, cdi and battery are new. The motor has a solid ground, it has spark and it is getting fuel. Where do o go from here?
