Some scooters seat latches operate with the ignition key switch.
Turn it left and right as you lift the seat.
Sometime you have to push down on the seat while you turn the key
Some have a key right on the left side of the bike for the seat latch.

Once that plastic is off you can reach the latch with a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.

Change the bulbs on that side

the piston rings are fried

Possibly, but that would be more likely to make it start easily and chuck black smoke out of the exhaust. Have you changed the spark plug? often the plug will work perfectly when sitting on the casing but fail when under compression in the cylinder. Is fuel DEFINITELY getting through?

It is a two stroke and has no engine oil as such because it is mixed with the petrol.

For your bike you should use 15w 40 oil. Buy some better known mark oil.

your best try is to contact your dealer, and get them to order you the short red wire that runs from the + terminal on the battery, to the starter soleniod ( also has a thin red wire that runs to fuse holder) i had exactly the same problem and this solved it. i have however re done all the electrical connections on my bike using 7amp wire and bullet connectors, as i have had many faults with the electrics before.
My bike is a Kymco Cruiser 125 (almost exactly the same bike, i use kymco zing parts when replacing) i paid approx £16 GBP for the wire.

Most carbs are not adj, the jets are fixed in position, and in order to change fuel air mix, you have to change the jet. You could try high test gas, clean the air filter, get some hotter plugs in there. What is your elevation? All this will change the fuel/ air mix.

Chances are all of the 'generic honde' engined bikes out there use that same electronics.
However if the color / pins are the same go for it.
Even if not you can try it and it shouldn't break anything - just remove the battery in case something wants to short..

may be under the seat

I say its a 99% chance its your starter

kimco is a good company located in texas if i am not mistaken, check some of the motorcycle magazine or the net and find ther address, they will sell you what you need.

I would separate the feed wires from the fuse box/ distribution point and measure any current draw in the separate feeds. That will tell me instantly where the fault/leak is.

Normally white smoke is water in the combustion chamber but this is air cooled so either too much fuel, incorrect fuel or burning oil can cause this.
