Just remembered, but this is probably is not a cause. About 3 months ago I put some hardware on the back of the scoot so I could hang grocery bags and drilled one hole into the gas tank, 3/16". Didn't know it, had gas coming out for about a week, Duh, did smell gas but scooter ran fine. Finally repaired the hole with JB weld, then ran fine for several months. Several days ago I drained the tank, pulled the petcock with a very good condition filter attached, and it was totally clean, no way anything could have gotten through that filter. But perhaps it did and is now in the carb?? But I still don't see why there isn't a continuous problem from any tank or carb issue? And how it runs great when cool.

So did you try all the other suggestions? If so, you might have pinched a fuel line. I pinched one on a Genuine Buddy and it would only get pinched when riding/sitting on it. It would stall, you would get off it, then it would mysteriously restart like nothing happened then repeat all over again. It got narrowed down and solved quickly because it started right after putting it back together. To rule out the overheating suspicion I would get a CHT gauge for the spark plug and get the operating temps in real time.
