How come my Kymco scooter starts just for a few seconds then it stops even though my gas tank is full?
It automatically stops wheter i used the push button ignition or by kick start?
But i was able to run & use the scooter 2 days ago & tried to start the engine last night & it worked.
But this morning it (the engine) doesn’t run anymore.

try changing the air and fuel filters; spark plug(s) as well.

Don’t know for sure, but I can tell you of a problem I had with my BMW once. It kept cutting out after riding for a few miles. I’d pull over and usually it would start after a few minutes. I finally figured out that the vented gas cap wasnt venting anymore and gas wasn’t flowing down to the carbs. All I had to do was clear the airway in the cap and it worked nicely again.
You could also have a clogged fuel filter or a choke stuck open.
