Hey guys I bought a rockets 250 CC scooter its a 08 not really all that firmiliar with these but it starts right up and idles until it warms up then it dies while driving and will not idle any ideas?

Welcome to the Forums.

Not totally familiar with 250cc's, but I would check to see if its getting enough gas.
If it is, check the valves.

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes an ignition coil will give trouble once it is warmed up. I'd check the fuel systems and valves first as suggested above.

Is there a thread that shows how to check the valves? I replace the Carb plug and coil and nothing is working makes me frustrated
