maybe there is a clog in the gas line and when you rev it up it floats around,but it doesn't restart maybe the coil is heating up.

Sounds like the valves need adjusting as they may not be opening up enough . All 4T engines will need to have it dome at least once . When it warms up does it stall ? When they are too tight it will not start up at all and this blows many shade tree mechanics minds . Here is a guide http://www.scooterforumonline.com/in...ic,1720.0.html

GOT IT RUNNING! I was going to post "figured it out", but I really didnt. The guy it belongs to (Jeff) said from day one he thout it was the carb. Anyway yes it was... I put on a carb I had since the one on it had caps or somthing on the bowl screws, n can't take it appart to clean it. I also adjusted the valves. Now she's purring like a kitten
