Scooter won’t start after being left in rain
Accidentally left my scooter out in the rain and now won’t start. I’ve drained carb and gas tank and replaced the spark plug but still no luck. It just cranks and cranks. Where should I go next?

My Hawk appears to drip fuel slightly when it’s parked for a few days. I’ve already checked the drain screw on the carb. Any ideas?
