peugeot vivacity 50cc problem?

If the engine starts to smoke.. and slowly gets weaker
within the 7 minutes - the the problem should be the auto-choker.
Auto-choker doesn't switch off.

If the engine sudden shuts off - after the 7 min. - it it must be the
Fuel-tap.
The fuel-tap should witch ON, when the engine is running
(, and the vacuum hose is connected to the inlet, as it should).

Sorry, not an answer but similar problem. Not been able to use vivacity for about a year due to ill health. Husband has started periodically. Now want to use it but battery wouldn't charge, so hubby put another on but now scooter will start but dies after a minute or so. He has cleaned carb and fuel sems to be getting where it should. Has tried the fuel cap bit. Now tearing his hair out.

I have tried the automatic choke and that seems to be the problem.

Hello

It slowly cuts out as it starts to boge out and will not start for about 2 hours. I have tried a new carb on it with no difference.

Cheers
