Good morning!
OK...so I got the new battery installed. The good news is that it starts, the bad news is that it cuts off every time I let it idle for even a few seconds. I was able to drive it around the neighborhood a little, but it cut off if I wasn't constantly giving it gas.
I have not changed the oil yet. Will that alone solve the problem?

Batteries Plus it is then. Thanks!
In the Common Issues guide there is mention of a video on how to change the oil, but I can't find it. Can you point me to that video?
Also, where would you buy the Seafoam carb cleaner?

Thanks so much guys!  Do you have a brand recommendation for a battery? |

I am a super newb (I just found out the difference between a moped and a scooter this morning) and I was just given a Tao Tao 50 that has been sitting outside all winter. None of the shops in town will work on it and I need to get it working as soon as I can since my car recently caught on fire. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with:
The battery is completely dead. I am planning on getting this (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Battery-Tender-Junior-Charger/15779492) to charge it. Will that work?
It was recommended to drain the gas/oil be drained and all new added. Is this necessary and if so, how is it done?
The kick start is broken. Is this something that is needed if I can get it started with the electric starter?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.
