I've fought with these and scoot carbs for years. On many occasion the only cure was a new carb. Not cheap!!
I have heard they are extremely tempermental carb wise. Guess its common to just get a new one and trouble dissapear.
Ours runs pretty good, but recently started to flood just sitting over night. I may look into getting a new carb to save the hastle.

Tony, Check the fuel pump. I have 2-Sports and 5-Scoots. Fuel pumps have been the second most common problem after the carbs, Howie 
BTW.... Those Sports rip...

THANKS HOWIE, GONNA DO THAT TODAY. DO YA REBUILD OR JUST CLEAN. 3:16 (yammie tony)
I personally just replaced the fuel pump when it was a fuel flow issue. Sounds like yours may be emptying the bowl and "running out of fuel"....

WELL ALITTLE PROGRESS, BUT STILL WON,T TAKE OFF. TOOK FUEL PUMP APART LOOKED GREAT INSIDE. HAD IT FIRE AND IDLE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND DIE. HOWIE HAVE A GOOD EXTRA FUEL PUMP I CAN TRY. 3:16 (yammie tony)
Wish I had one to loan you Tony, but sorry I dont.. If the fuel pump looks ok then it's likely the carb. Have had 0 luck rebuilding them so far. New one from "Big Y" is 300ish..... worth trying to go through it,you might get lucky. Prove the fuel pump first, it's a lot cheaper than a carb. I think you can use any generic single pump for testing. You just won't be able to mount it....
