Sounds like a fuel filter or petcock issue. I ran SeaFoam through my '08 Tank Racer and it just flat out would not run at all. I love SeaFoam and run it through the crank case and fuel system of all the cars I owned, works great. Just not sure with the scoot.

I would start with the fuel system first. It is easier to adjust and diagnose than the electrical system. New filter, check twice the petcock for proper opening to allow the fuel to flow. Also blow backwards through the fuel line to the tank. Could be a piece of crap blocking the hole in the tank.

If you rule out fuel and move on to diagnose electrical be very patient and careful. Make sure you choose the correct replacement part. There are sooooooo many different variations out there. Sooooooooo many..
