i got mt scooter running Tuesday night. On my way home this afternoon the engine started bogging down when trying to add throttle. i had a champion b6es equiv plug. Tip was a dark tan. Bad gas( has been sitting a while..) ? would fresh gas help ? I replaced the entire float mechanism as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely clogged fuel channels in the carb. Pay attention to pilot/idle jet passages specifically, based on your description.
