Well I finally figured out a majority of my problem. It was so obvious, that most people wouldn't even consider it. I went to a local motorcycle shop, Cycle World in Goshen, Indiana, and spoke to the guy at the counter about my problem. He diagnosed it first time! He said that with a constant velocity carb, you must have the air cleaner assembly attached to the carb, and completely assembled, or else it will just lean itself out at full throttle. I a car guy not a scooter guy, what can I say? I hope this helps someone!

Thanks, Rich. I'll take your advice. Please excuse me, I'm never used a forum of any kind before today.

I bought a used 2007 Tank Urban Classic 50 cc scooter with about 825 miles on it. A teenage girl owned it, and who knows who has worked on it. It has sit in her shed for several years. I finally got it started, but now I have two problems. It doesn't want to start without starting fluid, but once started and running, it runs like a kitten. The second problem is that when I open up the throttle to climb the hill out of my addition, it doesn't have the power, it actually runs better if I back off of the throttle a little. I need help. I'm a great mechanic, but not a good carburetor mechanic. Thank you very much for your help.
