Do you have the owner's manual? There may be a simple way.

if you cut or connect the correct wires you can bypass post ignition switches

I would start by cleaning the carb , take the float bowl off and blow out the jets .

the wiring digrams are pretty standard on scooters. do a search for "scooter wiring diagrams"---you'll find dozens of them.

float inlet seals are sticking. Take the carb off and have a look. the seal may be hard

The light does not buzz, but if the system wants to warn you, it will give a warning light and a buzzer. If it comes to both it is really time you should fill oil. When the oil is low, the parts in the motor are not lubricated enough and the motor can become seriously damaged. So don't start the engine, before you filled correct and enough oil.

Dot 4 synthetic.

Usually this is caused by a leaking float valve in the carburetor. It seeps into the engine (when not running), past the piston rings, into the oil. Also you should check the float level.

sounds like a bad fuel pump but it could be a vacuum leak there should be a black rubber hose running from the intake to the fuel pump if this hose is cracked or plugged the fuel pump will not work here is a way to check if this is the problem run a fuel line from fuel supply (gravity feed) straight to the carb and see if it will run if so you have a pump problem

While I don't own a Roughhouse, I have owned a couple other Chinese made scooters. There is a very good chance the battery is located under the floorboard of the bike. I looked at a few photos of the scooter online ad it looks like there is a small door in the middle of the floorboard. I believe they like to put the batteries low on these bikes to help keep the center of gravity low.Good luck.

The battery is in the floorboard. You should see a small section of the floorboard secured with a screw or screws. Once that cover is removed you can access the battery and fuse.

Something could be creating a short circuit, check your fuse is the right ampage for that circuit :)

ENGINE/CARB CLOGED TAKE SPARK PLUG OUT AND AIR FILTER OFF COVER INLET TO AIR FILTER WITH HAND AND SPARK HOLE WITH THUMB CRATE GOOD SEALS CUP UN CUP REPEAT UNTIL HEAR A POP SOUND.

On top of the engine under the side covers.

must have a short, is it fitted with an alarm? also make sure it is charging the battery in the first place and isn't just draining it as you ride.
