When I first got my 300cc Icebear scooter, it would not start and found it had a bad solenoid. It was a new scooter but a floor model so it had been sitting. Now after being away for three weeks, the scoot will not start, turn over. Sounds exactly the same as when the solenoid was bad so I'm assuming a bad solenoid again. Question is, does this part go bad from just sitting or is there another reason this keeps happening. Attempted to contact the dealer but of course it's after hours

no, solenoids do not go bad from sitting for a couple of weeks. my guess is you have a slow drain on the battery, the battery itself is bad, or you aren't letting the battery charge enough between starts. corrosion on the wires can also cause these symptoms.
