Hey everyone.
About a week ago I bought above mentioned scooter off Facebook market place, the previous owner said he could get it to idle but not run. He said when he would Rev it up it would die. I've been tinkering the last few days and have replaced the Carb, and sparkplug and a new battery. The fuel pump also works great. Also it's the vertical 244 engine (I know someone will ask I've been scouring every forum for 2 days.)
However now when I try to start it up it just keeps trying to turn over but won't actually start chugging til I spray a little brake clean in the carb. Otherwise it just keeps going til I stop pushing the ignition. And as soon as it burns the brake clean up it just dies. I'm at about 5000 ft altitude and didn't adjust the carb when I bought it I just put it in stock. I Really appreciate whatever tips and tricks you guys might have to help me get it running.
