The coolant lines in the carburetor are there to prevent icing in the carb throat. Generally they are not needed and can be disconnected.

Alley is right, if the screw is spinning but not backing out a little gentle prying on the plastic cover will help with backing out the screw. However, if the head of the screw is stripped and the screw is not turning I wouldn't go hitting it with an impact driver. It might snap the mirror off where it attaches to the handlebar as the mirror stalk is just made of plastic. Better to drill the heads of the screws and use an easyout.

That is the correct way to jump start off of a car battery except you don't need to wait for 3 minutes before trying to start the scooter.

Yes, a battery can go bad after setting for a year. You may be able to charge it but if it has a bad cell it can loose it's charge overnight. If you have a meter charge your battery and check it's voltage. It should read between 12.5 to 13 volts DC. Let the battery sit for 24 to 48 hours and see it the reading changes. If it does (reads lower) then the battery is not holding a charge and needs to be replaced.

You could also have a loose connection on your battery or a loose ground wire at the frame on on the engine.

Hope this helps you. Hang in there. You will get this fixed!

You should be able to access the valve adjusters via a panel under the seat. It's the same panel you take off to access the spark plug.

As for the warranty, it all depends on who you bought it from. For some it will and for some it won't. You'll have to read the fine print.

Pretty much the same thing. Let it dry for a while and it should shrink to fit.
