I just wanted to update this thread, while I was taking the scooter apart to adjust the valves I noticed a vacuum hose was broken. I replaced the hose and it starts and runs just fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I put stabil in it in the fall, and still had problems getting it started in the spring. I have also put SeaFoam in the gas tank, and tried it again the other day.
I've never done anything to the valves, I just got it back in June 2012.
I'm going to look into getting a valve adjustment.

I un-winterized my 50cc Tao Tao scooter about a month ago, and it took a long time to start but eventually I got it running.
Fast forward about a month later (this week) I was out riding it and it felt like it was going to die when I stopped at stop signs or intersection. When I made it home it died the minute I let off the accelerator.
The next day (yesterday) I changed the oil, and had problems starting it. So today I bought a new spark plug (NGK 4629/C7HSA) and put it in and still had problems starting it.
Eventually I got it started but it died on me when I went to turn around on our street.
I'm guessing it's a dirty carburetor, but I've never messed with the carb on the bike, so any info would be great.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
