Grandvista 250 / Re: New Rider SCARED also can't get it to stay started

Update on not starting. After trying to just let it warm up and it still dying every time I gave it even a little gas, my brother and father feel it is a throttle issue and needs a carburetor cleaning. Since I don't know anything about mechanics, I'm going to let them do whatever they want.

thank you. Took the motorcycle class after the accident and feel better now than before it. Now I just need some safe space to practice, practice, practice. Will try your suggestion and some of the things I've read here about keeping it started.

On my second ride, I ran into a parked truck. (meant to hit the breaks and hit the throttle instead)

My brother fixed the scooter ($350 in parts) and he rode it around to make sure it was all better. One month later and I am just getting up my nerve again. But now, I can't get it to stay started. mmm. I may have forgotten something or maybe having it sit for a month has done something. I have a Blue Grand Vista, and am in need of a local riding friend to help me get my nerve back up.

Thanks for listening!
