Sad Please help - scooter wont start (tried several things)

*First off, i'm new to the group. glad to find a scooter community and very thankful for your help in advance!!

I want to get this 2006 Honda Metropolitan working. it makes sounds like it wants to crank but as soon as i let go of the start button it dies off. see video.

I already did the following:
-replaced battery
-replaced spark plug
-added oil and gas

Welcome to the forum!

Have you checked for spark? Checked if fuel is flowing to carb? If those check out, the carb might be dirty and needs a cleaning.

How I do it.... charge the battery or jump from a good battery, make sure it cranks good, a shot of carb spray into the intake... if it fires and runs a bit it's some kind of fuel problem. If it doesn't run a bit, check for spark, if it has spark check for compression. Do not burn the starter out when trying to get it started. Use only 100% gasoline... stay away from ethanol gas and you will reduce your problems 1000% maybe even more...

Could be a stator problem or CDI if you have no spark. Last year I bought a used VIP the motor turned over-had spark but no compression. I purchased a BBK and when I went to install it I found the crank was broke. I hope this is not your problem.
To check stator unplug the 2 wire connector--set VOM to 200 VAC place black on ground and touch the red lead to the (RED--RED//WHITE OR RED/BLACK) wire it should be above 40 VAC and less than 80 VAC. when hitting the start button with motor turning over.
Other problems I have encountered is VALVES not set correctly and oil seals on valves leaking and rings on piston bad

You can check for life pulse with an quickstart fluid solution which you spray in air feed.
If not then , as stated above it might could be stuck valves or something more serious
