Ive done all of the above. Just doesnt seem to want to run It's turning over. Just a pain it the blank.

Is it flooded? Full choke and hold it wide open while starting it.

If it's flooded, I wouldn't choke it.  Hold wide open and crank. 

If that doesn't work, pull the plug and see if you have spark.

Full choke and wide open throttle is the oldest trick in the book for a flooded engine. 

[REDNECK4LIFE32]

I think it's flooded and cranked so much the battery died. Every time i pushed the throttle it would die out and wouldnt turn over. I got it on charge boy im gonna look like an idiot tomorrow trying to get it started after they see it.

No choke and wide open throttle is even older and works better..;)

It wouldn't hurt to pull the sparkplug while you are waiting and dry it off. It will definitively tell you wether it was flooded or not..

Ya, old trick to hold it wide open while cranking, but you shouldn't choke a flooded Engine. 

[luberhill]

Does a 2020 unit even have a carb ?

Or a choke for that matter

No choke has been working 58 yrs for me, so guess I'm luckier.

Charge the battery and pull the plug. when battery is charged  ground the plug ( don’t shock yourself ) and hit the start button check for spark and the cylinder will push out excess fuel if it was flooded . If all looks good reinstall and try starting . Did the dealer start and run it for you before you brought it home ?

None of  kids 90’s have fuel injection.

I spray some starting fluid in the air intake and my machine fires right up even when flooded . You can either spray it right on the foam filter or take it off. Works a little better if you take the filter off.  That works for me just about every time for me .Not taking sides on full choke or no choke because both ways have worked for me .

I don’t think I’d do that with a brand new scooter.

But it works. You only need a couple little squirts. Doing it actually helps clear out some of the flooding also.
