It is probably the float needle...the rubber tip might be missing, or broken, etc...

The washer under the nut on the starter clutch only goes on one way...mark it before you remove it, so you know which side faces the nut.
Get it on backwards and you will have nothing but problems...

Use a fuel filter designed for gravity feed systems, like for a generator, snowblower, riding mowers etc. Automotive filters don't work well on scooters

Check the filter is in the line the right way..reversing it is a common mistake and it won't run well if backwards..

Check that the case pointer of the flywheel is close to the 'T' mark on the wheel...or the cam sprocket marks are aligned to the head, with the large hole at the top...

You have a short to ground somewhere.. get a cheap multimeter and start checking... likely the switches on the handlebars, they are very susceptable to water... but it could be anywhere...

Did it run before you got it? Could be the carb needs cleaning, if it has been sitting with gas in the tank..

Sorry to hear about your problems...the engine is done. I don't think the shop is responsible, but maybe you can cut a deal on a new one...

Most 4 valve heads have aggressive cams...yup...you need to change the piston to,match the head in many cases...do a carefull wax test, by hand after you torque down the head..you likely will need to machine the piston head...
