I have had the same problem with my stepsons zip 50 and have done all the usual checks. The solution is from a piaggio technition. Take off the air cleaner and housing, start the scooter and bring it to the point where the engine dies. At this point spray easy start or a gasoline spray direct down the carb intake. If the revs pick up, you have a lack of crank case compression and the most likely reason is worn oil seals on the crankshaft. It sounds odd but the worn seals cause all kinds of strange problems.
Thats 2 stokes for you. Hope it helps, good luck
Try changing the jet size up about 5 or 10 sizes the jet is located on the bottom of the carb you will have to take the bowl of it to get to it the jet will usually be gold. ps dont worry if fuel starts coming out of the bowl as it will only be a small amount
• The first thing to do with ANY engine that has sat for any longer
than a couple of months is to dump ALL the fuel in the tank and
carb(s). ALL OF IT !! You'll want to refill with some high priced fuel
that has fuel system cleaners (Like Chevron with Techron) not becasue
you need high-test fuel, but because you need the cleaners. It's ether
that or disassemble the carbs and clean out jets you can't find much
less see. Your choice. The carb kits alone will cost you about $50 so a
tank of high-test is looking pretty good, huh?
• Now the fact that you tried to crank the engine with old fuel has
fouled the sparkplugs. Go buy all new sparkplugs.
Got a zip bought it from the place where I took my cbt rode it for 2 days and just started boggin down after quarter throttle any solutions ASAP please thanks Daniel

Ah thank god I'm not the only one, I have been trawling the internet for a solution to exactly the same problem. Did the solution that someone gave you work?
I have the same problem, I have posted my problem on the site. I have changed the reed valve which was faulty and cleaned the carb out, all to no avail. the only fault that I know for deffinate is the auto choke reading which reads 5ohm instead of 30ohm. Unfotunatly this costs around £110-00 which is ok if it cures the problem, but a lot of cash wasted if it doesnt.
If I solve it I will post findings
sounds like fuel try cleaning carb out. if still the same changing spark plug and spark plug cap might sort it. will
i have a 50cc tao tao scooter
