There are several possibilities and they need to be approached logically. Failing to understand the system and just throwing parts at it MIGHT fix it, but the amount of money and frustration will usually be too much and the rider takes it out on an otherwise good scooter.

Based solely upon your symptoms I would guess the charging system has failed, more specifically the stator. Depending on how and what was used for "jump starting" there could be more damage.

The ignition system is self powered from a single coil on the stator that is independent from the charging coils. This part has to be working or the scooter would not start.

The stator charging coils supply power to run the lights, recharge the battery AND power to turn off the auto choke. IF the auto choke never turns off, as the scooter warms up the mixture could get so rich as to cause it to stall especially if the idle speed is too low.

IF the jump start was done wrong, it could have damaged the regulator, fuse and scooter wiring.

Irish may also be correct, but the only way to know for sure is test and NOT guess.
