What would typically be the problem of a 2 stroke scooter that dies when the throttle is applied?

toller71 asked:

The scooter idols just fine and will maintain a good idol but when the gas is applied it often times dies. It is sometime a little hard to start as well. It has a 2 stroke engine.

Cheap Beach Holidays.

There should be 2 jets in you carburator one is for idle the other is for exceleration. Typically these get filled with gunk and your motor will not get any fuel. You have to pull the carbs apart and clean them out. If your not experienced i suggest a mechanic. They do sell fuel system cleaner but that doesnt always work but give it a try. This is common when motorcycles/scooters sit for a few months. I hoped this helped ya.
