I used to have a 50cc aprilia scooter which used to just cut out and die.

What it turned out to be was the exhausted coked up because of the restricters that are installed in bikes to increase the back pressure and slow the engine down.

Also, could be a fuel line problem

is it sparking and getting fuel through?

has he been running it on cheapy two stroke oil?

it was running fine and then just seem to die slowly .i can get a back fire out of it when using easy stert and have completely cleaned the carb so i am still scratching me head lol
