Scooter takes 4 tries before starting?

Has it always been this way? It might just need the carb tuned. That is one thing I don't know much about but I know there is a needle placement that can be adjusted up or down. And to be honest I'm not even sure If it adjusts the fuel or air... And there is the air /fuel ratio screw. Or depending on where the scooter came from maybe wrong pilot jet size. But I would guess the latter is the least likely. Sorry I can't help much. I need to do more reading on them.

yes, since i bought it (1 yr & 3 mths ago) it has had a hard start, the dealer where i bought the scoot increased the screw on the carb due to the hard start but that didnt work cause ayear later its still doing it
