Scooter won't start By gold9er2 (Read 601 times)

I have a taotao paladum with about 4000 miles on it.
I rode the scooter 1 day 5 days ago for about 5 miles. Let it sit for about 4 hours now it won't start. I turn the key and click the kill switch to on and the engine will not turn over. Like its out of gas or something. I had the valves adjusted, gas drained about 2 months ago. It ran fine until this point. Don't know what's the problem.
Any suggestions about were to start will be appreciated. Thanks

First sounds like charging system is not working first recharge battery and we can go from there. It just may start that's why I say that.
