Scooters and bikes that have been sitting is not good because the new ethanol added into the gas is causing problems because it hygroscopic, and water does not burn in a fuel system.
i went ahead and put the ethanol free gas in it to get it going. i read that its better for the carburetor any ways and it don't take much gas to fill it up so i don't really mind paying for premium gas to put in it.
