My scooter has been out of commission for a little while, I have not ridden it or started it for about 2 months due to weather conditions. I have been storing it in my garage though so it has been out of the elements. A week and a half ago I tried to start it but I had no luck. The lights will turn on and my blinkers work but I am just not getting any response from the engine. I have tested the battery and it is still reading 12.5 volts. I have never worked on scooters before and I could really use some help as I really don't want to have to take it to a repair shop. I am having trouble locating the spark plug as I think that may be the issue but I have no clue really. Could it be an issue with the carburetor? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Still riding? Or is too cold?

No response from the engine?? Does that mean it turns over but doesn't start or that when you push the button nothing happens?? If it's the first check spark, fuel, then timing, in that order. If it's the second jump the solenoid with a jumper wire and see if it turns over then... Let me know if all the above needs additional explanation. Do not order a new coil... yet

Coils aren't exactly cheap.

Don't panic. It's nothing serious - yet it's something fundamental. No mechanical bits have failed, so you don't need to disassemble anything. Most likely will be either a weak battery or stale gas.
