Scooter sat all winter. Stalls and sputters

[jen]

Ok, my wife's kymco agility 50 (2013, with only 100 miles on it) sat all winter, and had no fuel stabilizer in it. (I thought she put some in, of the stuff that I bought.) We started it up today, and it will start, sputter, and finally get up to speed, but then if you take it for a ride, it sputters and stalls at stops signs, and you have to restart. The gas tank is full right now.

I'm assuming siphon the gas off as a starter.. and then what? Run the engine to get the rest out? Do we need to clean carb/fuel lines/fuel filter/anything else? (Links to docs on how to do this?)

It's under warranty and we could have the dealer take a look, but we'd have to get it picked up, and that's like going to be $100+ due to the distance to the dealer.
Any help is appreciated.

Frist just drane most the gas and the maybe add a little seafoam to like 1/4 gal of gas and run the scoot tell its gone to see if that help clean things up. you will only need like 1 oz of seafoam.
if that dont work ya a good cleaning of the carb and gas lines will do it. you can do a search on this form to show you anything you need to know. even youtub can help.

Small engines do that after storage... usual cause is a gummed or clogged idle jet... Do what blue suggested to clear those clogged lines...

Fuel injection is not exempted from gum and varnish...    Better than carb tho... but once it fails, you don't drain your tank, you drain your wallet...
