scooter starts fine runs fine for about 2 miles, then just dies when you stop at junction, you can start it straight away but as soon as you give it any throttle it just dies again. leave it to stand for about 5 - 10 mins its fine again. any ideas?? been in to honda for service and mot they said they cleaned the carb ??

Ooh! Ooh! Mine does this!
Just disconnect the automatic choke in the wiring loom, (on the right side of the bike behind the fairing). It will still run exactly the same, but to start it, you may need to give the bike a bit of throttle on cold days, and on hot days, it doesn't make a difference. This will not damage the engine.
