The answer is simple. Put the choke in the upwards position and pull the starting cord briskly. When you first get your scooter you will need to pull the starter a few more times than usual to get it started (do not forget to pump the primer bulb which is located on the bottom of the carburetor). Once the scooter starts, switch the choke in the down position. Check the video below for more information.
