Welcome to the forum.
If this scooterwas sitting for a long time you probably need to clean the carb out. You also may have a vacuum leak inthe way of a cracked hose or one that has come off a fitting.
Checkfor the vacuumleak and see of you find something, if that does not work trytaking the carb off, taking it apart and cleaning all the passageways and jets with a spray carb cleaner.
Let us know what happens.

Put a fresh plug n start it right after it dies pull the plug is it wet or dry If it's dry pull the float bowl on the carb and see if you have fuel in it
If it's wet your rich and flooding check to make sure the float and float needle are working properly

When you switched the hoses around did you see any cracks?
Do the plug thing as well.

Xylene is a solvent., take some and test it on the outside of your fuel line and see if it disolves the rubber. Hopefully it has not gummed things up.

If you just took it off you are always running full choke
