So as mentioned, put in new ignition switch, new starter switch then started the scooter by spraying starter fluid into the intake/air filter and it started then started rapidly accelerating and smoke came out of the accelerator cable at the carb and handlebar! Carb got red hot!! Replaced the accelerator cable figuring it was grounding from the short, new throttle handle, gy6 automatic starter and still won't start. It has spark, we pulled the plug and cranked it against the engine block. So figured it was fuel problem, so pulling the gas line off the carb and cranking the engine fuel came out but none in carb bowl. Bought a new petcock, still wouldn't start. Sucked vacuum line, gas came out of fuel line but now when crank the engine gas doesn't come out of fuel line. Will not start with starter fluid now. I also put a new GY6 carb in to see if this was a carb issue but still turns over but won't start. Fuse doesn't blow anymore. The manual says there is a front and rear stop switch behind the start button, but I can't find it. All I see is an on/off switch. A new CDI for a Piaggio is between $200 and $250, big loss if that's not the answer. (Again this all started when I cleaned the carb and with the bike on the stand ran it right after cleaning the carb. It started and ran fine but I noticed that the fuel gauge or speedometer didn't work. I cut it off then tried to turn it on again and it wouldn't start, nothing because the 7.5 fuse was blown from some kind of short. Bike ran perfect, no problems before cleaning the carb which I've done many times before on another bike and mowers).
