Hey guys, sorry if this has been addressed before, but I have a 2012 150cc scoot with 2000 mi on it. I was riding home in the the rain a few nights back and it began hesitating and bogging down on me with acceleration. It eventually died when I came to a stop and I couldn't get it running well again. I somehow sputtered back home after it died multiple times. Anyway, I let it sit for a few days and now it will start up fine, but when I take it off of the double kickstand, it dies, OR if it happens to stay running when I take it off the kickstand, it will either die with acceleration or die when I come to a stop.
I've loosened the gas cap, it's full of gas, adjusted the air/fuel screw, the idle screw, etc. I'm at a loss.

It's possible you have some water in the gas. I had a similar problem recently after a heavy rain. Coming from the carb should be a tube going down with a brass screw in the end with a slot head. Try unscrewing that and letting the gas drain from the carb and then put the screw back in. You'll either want to wear gloves or make sure water and soap is nearby because gas will go all over your hand. Get some Seafoam and add 1oz per gallon of gas into your gas tank. Double check the screw and make sure it's in good before you crank it up.
