Genuine scooters also appears to be "diversifying" . . Longjia Trevis 50 3V 4T branded as Venture 50.

Interesting that the GO 50 is being marketed under a different spinoff entity . . .

chicagoscootercompany.com/careers.html links to Genuine. Hard to tell from the PDI video, but may be a Znen.

chinese copy of a honda passport / cub . . has sat a while

Verify intake filter is clear, and exhaust is not obstructed with nesting insects. Verify fuel flow to carb and check that carb internal fuel passageways are clear. Also check intake and exhaust valve clearance.

has a 1/4 tank of gas

Since this scooter has a pulse-pump for the floor mounted gas tank . . a full tank may aid "equilibrium" flow to the pump. Then pull off carb inlet fuel line and energize the starter to verify flow.
