Finally got my kids Scoot running. Had to spray Starter Fluid in the airbox to get it to fire. Ran great thereafter. After short stops, it would start right up. After sitting over night, it will not fire without a shot of fluid. Any ideas what is up with this?
 

Losing its prime it sounds like. Got any room to put a primer bulb inline? Between the tank and carb?
 
change the fuel filter in the gas tank and clean the carb. Scoot carb is not very forgiving, even in my anal syco summerization perfection I have had to reclean the carb on our scoot. and I even remove and clean it when I put it away, does not take much to mess it up.
