Perhaps a gasket leak around the intake?

I always find that if you spray some easy start around the intake, if its leaking the revs will pick up..

yeah wd40 works because the propellant is very flamable. But starting fluid (easy start) is way more powerful.

At This point I am as stumped as you. Try instead of flammable stuff SOAPY WATER. I'd rather stall the engine than burn the scoot

I was only suggesting to spray some starting fluid around the intake to find a leak if there is one.
