okay, 3 things. How many miles and has the valves been checked/set if needed to spec? That is the killer for most scooters, people not doing the valve checks. My exhaust valve will get a tad tight between check intervals

How often do you do a valve check? I ask because this is more or less my first scooter and it only has 1500 miles on it. Plug is gapped to factory spec from the factory (not changed). I have not overfilled recently, but may have done so at some point in the past. I do know this specific issue began after I had been gone for 3 weeks and there had been a hurricane here during that time.
One question as I'm looking at carburetor diagrams. I see a drain bowl set screw. I know on my drain hose there is a screw that allows you to drain fuel from this drain bowl, and when I've drained it there it will start and run again for a bit. What is the screw for?
Could the adjustment of the drain bowl screw also be causing this issue?
