2013 Tao Tao 150 powermax dies under full and/or sudden throttle

My father gave me this scooter and I put a wiring harness on it, right hand switchs, cdi box, voltage variator, carberator, and new vaccum lines and fuel lines, spark plug.

Thinking about replacing intake manifold boot and vaccum actuated fuel pump.

Bottom line, I can get it started and ride it around but under full throttle or sudden throttle it'll just die. I dont even feel like it bogs. Because it just dies. Actually that's how I shut it off, because I also need right hand brake switch and ignition so I have no starter button or kill switch.

I need some help. Before he gave it to me it ran fine, but it sat in my shed all winter and now its warm I began fixing on it.

My question is, what causes these scooters to die under full or sudden acceleration. I can ease the throttle and be fine but even after I can only open the throttle up so far before the engine loses power or die.
