Yes Allyoop, he actually dropped it off at my house, started it with the electric starter and then rev'd it shut it off and left. I took it for a spin it worked, i went to pick up gas, turned it back on with the electric starter, then took it to get new headphones. When i tried started it this time i pushed in the electric starter and nothing. it wouldn't even try. it was like i didn't push it in at all. .

Hey guys, so i had to pay a scooter mechanic to fix my scooter because just nothing was working. I got it back today, and now the electric starting won't work. I had to kickstart it to get it home and was wondering, if i have to keep kickstarting my scooter, is that bad for it? I called the mechanic and left him a message but if i can't get him to fix it soon I will have to keep kickstarting it. So is it bad to keep kickstarting it? I'm really frustrated because the whole repair costed a lot of money and he said he went over everything and it was running like new now .

Ok so now, the lights are still acting weird but now if I switch the high beams on to the passing setting the engine struggles for a second and dies :0, I have no possible idea why that happens, and when I switch the turn signals on the engine slows down a bit and the turn signals don't blink like the should, they just stay solid :/

Also when my key is turned in the ignition so the moped has power, the signals blink fine but the front headlight doesn't working unless I do the passing switch for the high beams. The low beams or high beams won't work on a constant setting. Except if I hold the rear break on. If I hold the rear break in then the headlight works. Now if I turn the engine on the same thing happens, except the turn signals turn into a solid instead of blinks to indicate a turn. What happend to the wiring?

ok so in this picture where the air/fuel ratio adjustment screw is, on my carburetor in that exact spot isn't a screw, there is a flat copper cap basically. it is just a smooth cooper circle where the screw should be. is this bad?

Now the Video works, the carb has gas and is getting gas. Get your screwdriver ready start it up and let it warm up Then find the FUEL RATIO MIXTURE screw. 1.FIRST turn it COUNTER CLOCKWISE 1/4 and wait for 10 seconds or so to allow the motor to catch up with the new sitting. A. Listen for the IDLE IF IT GOES UP repeat 1, UNTIL on the last 1/4 counter clockwise it does nothing or the IDLE GOES DOWN-- THEN turn the screw 1/8 Clockwise. **** IF TURNING IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE the IDLE GOES DOWN RIGHT AWAY.. Then DO THE SAME THING BUT CLOCKWISE*** The appears to be Either To much FUEL or NOT ENOUGH. It is hard to tell which one it is when this happens right off IDLE. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUEL RATIO SCREW IS ON THE CARB?? If not put up a picture of your carb And I will show you. Alleyoop ok alleyoop i believe i know where it is, it is in the standard position that most are in whenever i see a picture showing how to adjust it......but, the problem is there is no screw, it is just like a flat copper disk. Like there is something over the screw or something, almost as if someone sealed it off?

Sprocket, that is not the problem, I checked and there is a flow of gas so any other ideas? I am really at a loss for what is wrong. I think I might just pay a scooter repair shop :/

That Video Link does not show any scoot. Alleyoop, I modified the link to the correct one, it should work now if you open it up to check it out.

I tried loosening and even removing the gas cap and that did nothing, and how to I see if my charcoal is,flooded and how do I un flood it? I made a video of me starting up the scooter and giving it gas so you could hear what it sounds like when I give it some throttle.
I hope that video helps you hear what it is doing.

Hey guys, so my scooter because well i was being an idiot fell over today. I was holding it and it starting tipping so i held on for as long as i could but had to drop it around 8 inches above the ground. I picked it up, only minor scratches, can't even notice unless you are looking for them. But the engine was flooded so i waited half an hour and it still wouldn't start, finally after 45 minutes it started and idled, but as soon as i used the throttle it would just make putting noises out the exhaust . Now it barely starts, take multiple attempts to get it to start, and it will only idle. every time you give it any amount of gas it just makes putting noise out the exhaust. I check the air filter and cleaned it, checked the spark plug and cleaned it, checked the hoses they seemed fine. I also cleaned the carb and fuel filter. Idk what is wrong here guys and I am really frustrated at myself for letting it drop and now having this happen. Does anyone know what this is?
