Scooter wouldn't run

So I decided to get my scooter out for a ride today. I went out to the garage and the scooter started right up so I turned it off , I checked the tire pressure made sure everything look good for a ride. I then pushed it out if the garage and got my jacket on gloves and helmet on went to start the scooter and it wouldn't run tried several times still wouldn't run unless the throttle was wide open then it would just barley run. So I decided to check the spark plug looked fine, cleaned it off and put it back still same thing so I put another plug in it same thing. I drained the gas out and put fresh still same thing, any ways an hour later I though I would take the air filter off to see if I could maybe get more air into the carb. Took the air filter off and to my surprise there was probably 50 or so acorns in there, they were packed in the tube from the air filter to the carb. After getting the shop vac out and cleaning them all out the scooter fired right up ran great lol. I had seen a mouse in my garage Friday so I put a trap out there, I check it after I had messed with the scooter and I had caught one, hopefully that was the culprit. Guess it was my fault in a way I got a sling shot a few months back and found a bunch of acorns and put them in a walmart bag in the garage, they are pretty fun to shoot out of the sling shot, so I checked my bag and it was almost empty, guess I won't do that again lol
