I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not, but when I start my scooter I have to give it some throttle as I hit the starter button and clamp on the brake. I only have about 120 miles or so on the scooter, so this is not an old scooter takes a while to start problem. Is something wrong with my Vino? I thought I only had to hit the starter button as I clamped on a brake.

it's a carb engine...

Just like older cars... sometimes you need to "pump the gas" before starting it...

IMO it's normal... others say differently...

If it were fuel injected... and you had to give it gas... then I'd say something is wrong...
