UPDATE. Picked up a new carb at a shop, and as I was walking out the guy asked what happened. I told him the story, and he showed my the end of the hose on a different bike with the same carb. It had a screw plugging the overflow hole. I went home with the new carb to check it out. No screw in the hole, but I could see it was threaded for one. So I took the new screw out of the new carbs overflow and screwed it into the one on my scoot. Perfect fit. Tried to start. Nothing. Tried again started right up. So I guess that's fixed, and I have a new carb if I need one.
However, now it won't stay running at idle if I don't always give it a little gas. Any ideas whats going on with that? I know on my 250 4 stroke dirtbike I could adjust the idle, but I didn't see that on this.

JoeyBee Okay cool thanks for all the help. I know the engine is the gy6 I'll check the stqmp in little bit when I go out. jtron If its relatively easy to just clean out I'll do that, just need it working asap. geh3333 I did read something about the needle getting stuck and causing this issue, but the fix that was posted didnt work for me. The guy said turn off the fuel (couldnt figure out how so i skipped that) then hit the carb with back of a screwdriver lightly while trying to start it, with the idea that whatever was blocking it would come loose. Unfortunetly that didn't work out for me

Sweet doesn't look to hard to get it out then just throw a new one in and I'm good to I'm guessing. Any brand of aftermarket I should look for? Want it to be as reliable as possible since it's my girls main transportation for now. If theres anything else you'd recommend that'd be great seems like you know your stuff pretty good

Thank you! And I'm not too experienced with carburetors or working on motorcycles/scooters. What do you mean by restricted carb? Is there one that would be less restricted that I should get for it?

Hi everyone. So today I just purchased a used Roma 150cc scooter with 1200 miles on it, and I was driving it home the hour drive when suddenly the accelerator stopped working. The scooter idled for a few seconds before it finally just stalled and rolled to a stop . Tried restarting it, and it just cranks but won't start. Then gas begins flowing out of what I think is the overflow for the carburetor. Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks
