This seems strange to be happening now because besides the bike running lean I have put over 600 miles on it and it would stay running. It does seem like the gas isn't making it to the carb either. I'm not very mechanically inclined but I am just making some observations.
Our Pastor had a 50cc scooter that he laid down while making a left at an intersection, after which it would not start. I took it home and spent an entire afternoon on it, looking for anything that could have been compromised by an impact. I tested all of the usual suspects, like the kickstand switch, CDI, coil, reg/rec, etc. It turned out to be that the exhaust valve was too tight, and it chose that moment to present itself.
