I picked up one myself from CL also 150cc 2010 with just 231 miles. Gonna try to get it running... I'm mechanically inclined just new with scooters so any help greatly appreciated.

If it starts and runs on starter fluid then it is just a fuel delivery problem. So first thing is to check if while cranking fuel is getting to the carb and filling the bowl up. To test that open the bowl drain and crank it and fuel should keep coming out while cranking.
So now you know the fuel is filling the carb bowl but no fuel is being sucked out into the motor.
So now you need to clean the carb, take it off and unscrew the jets pilot and main and make sure all the holes are clear.
Now spray carb cleaner into the holes that the jets screwed into and spray should come out by the butterfly and the needle inside the carbs venturi. Once all that is clear and open then turn the fuel ratio screw clockwise until it stops and then turn it out 2 1/2 turns counter clockwise and install the carb.
Once it starts and stays running you can fine tune the fuel ratio mixture to get the highest idle then you can lower the idle using the IDLE SPEED screw.

IF it is a CVK Carb found on 4 strokes use this procedure:

IF it is a SlIDER Carb found on 2 strokes THROTTLE CABLE GOING INTO THE TOP OF THE CARB use this procedure:

Definitely a 2 stroker but the muffler set up? Looks like a black iron pipe elbow?

That's a heat shield. It's not getting gas I think. I believe these had a vacuum shutoff so maybe ill remove it and see what happens

[JR]

Oh I see! Got to be sure there are no vacuum leaks anywhere, it's a must with a 2T.
