Hello,
How would I go about getting to the carb? Is it easy to clean, etc?

Hello,
I'm new here on the forum...... I just purchased a used Kymco People 150 here in the Bay Area. (San Francisco) It had been in storage and needed a new battery and spark plug... No big deal..... I got that taken care of and it fired right up.... Everything seemed to be working fine...
Today, I was out for a quick ride around and suddenly it just died while I was driving it.... I pulled over, re-started and the problem seemed to be fixed.. About 15 min later it died again while driving. (I almost got hit by a bus) Once pulled over I tried over and over to start it..... It did fire up a few times, but when you would hit the gas it sounded almost like the engine was drowning... It would only sputter and not move at all......
(FAST FWD about 15 min)
I tried to start again with no luck.. By this time, the ignition stated to sound tired, as if I were killing the battery trying to start it..... I had to push it back home... Again, I live in San Francisco and this is no easy task....
Any ideas what the problem could be? I just had an oil change and the scooter place looked over.. They said it was in very good shape for it's age and should run strong for a long time....
Please, any advice would be great..... Feel free to email me as well... eric@ericshoemaker.com
