Why does my rocketa scooter slowly stop running?
I have a 2011 Rocketa 49.3 GY6 139QMB and have replaced the carburetor, petcock valve, CDI, all of the vacuum lines, adjusted the air flow and gas until it idles perfect and then, when I take off, it makes it two blocks, bogs down and dies! It will continue doing this about 5 or 6 times and then start running good but not great.
