Yes, brand new carb. I have another one coming at the beginning of the week, so we'll see. Probably should've rebuilt the old one myself, but it was easy to be lazy when these carbs go for $20!

Yep...it was the solenoid/relay. That part's fine...now if I could get the jets to cooperate!3.5 turns seems to be the sweet spot at idle. At 20mph, under throttle, bogs down and misfired a bit. Tried another turn out (richer) and pretty much the same. New carb, but I think a bad one. I checked the air/fuel adjust before installing; it was 4.5 turns out. Adjusted to 2.5 before I started it...started right up. Let it warm up and adjusted to highest rpm and backed off 1/8th. Purrs at idle, bogs down under load.

Pressing the start switch won't engage starter. With Ignition switch on and engine stop switch on, scooter will Kickstart. Using a screwdriver across the relay terminals does engage the starter. I was thinking the starter switch was bad so I disassembled the dash and unplugged the starter switch, then took a resistance check on the closed switch. It came out .5 ohms on 200 ohm scale. Wire problem?
Thanks for any help!

I have the same scooter, and when I first got it, ran well with no issues for a few startups. Pretty quickly though, developed the same issue you seem to be having (stalls, but would start again after sitting for awhile). Like most I thought fuel delivery, but while sitting on the side of the road with nothing else to do (lol) I checked all lines again and found one of the vacuum lines that ran back to the gas tank on the right (throttle side) had a slight kink in it and was partially hidden. part of the emissions system. After I cut out the excess length and reconnected...no more issue.
