how old is the scoot and how many miles on her? I'm drinking a beer, watching the NCAA tourney and reading the Kymco forums...scratching my head thinking about this one.
Did you clean your carb after you had the starting issue? As in - it ran fine for 30 seconds, then died, then you took apart your carb to clean? Changing engine and gear oil shouldn't have any effect on starting (assuming you actually put oil back in the engine after draining!).
You need fuel, air, spark and compression to start. Have you confirmed you have spark by pulling your plug, grounding it on metal on the engine and cranking it over to see spark?
Is your spark plug wire firmly seated on your plug? You have fuel in your tank? Good battery?
3400 kilometers. Yes, I put oil back in. The manual didn’t have the correct amount of oil listed so I overfilled the oil but then drained it to the right level before starting.
I cleaned the carb after I had trouble with it starting. And yes, removed the spark plug and grounded it and it does indeed spark. I have fuel in my tank and the battery is not the issue.
Could the engine possibly be flooded? And what would I do to fix that?
Perhaps the fuel filter is clogged I didn’t check that yet, Although there was gas in the carb when I cleaned it
