Water in gas tank, clogged up fuel filter, clogged up secondary air filter, clogged up air filter, check all hoses for cracks, check that there is no air leak between carb and intake, check CDI, check primary coil, check that main jet is not clogged up, check that auto choke is disengaged, check also carb membrane (if your scoot has it, probably it does, they are cheap solutions for 2-strokers).
Finally, not likely, but check intake port louvers, I do not know exact term for this in English.

fuel filter is fine i will.check the rest now thanks

how do i test the auto choke

how do i test the auto choke
Remove it, connect it to universal measuring instrument, and its resistance should read certain value, stated in your scooter's user's manual.
Usualy 12, 16 or 18 Ohm.
However, I doubt this is the culprit. I would concentrate on clogged up stuff, lines, filters etc. from my previous post.

the auto choke is working fine

You could try a couple of short sprays of carburator cleaner directly into the intake while it is running at a high idle , just dont over do it . Good luck .

Disconnect the fuel line at the carb, and run a few ounces of fuel into a clear container. Let it sit for 10 minutes, and look for water to settle in the bottom. If there is ANY cloudiness to the fuel I would still suspect water. Have you REMOVED the jets for cleaning? That is the ONLY way to clean a carb. A bad cdi can do the same thing you describe... but rarely.

i will check the fuel and jets tomorrow

E-xactly!!!!! And I knew that, but considering that I last had to replace them in 2005 on my Piaggio NRG 2stroke, I forgot the exact term. :) :) :)
