Hey, don't know if this helps any, but I did the same thing with my L2050. I had just bought it, had it delivered, and was merrily riding around on it (grinning like a kid on Christmas morning by the way.) Anyway, I never checked the fuel level and ran it out. I refilled and got it running but it would do nothing other than idle. I left it alone and let it idle, thinking it had air in the lines and needed time to bleed itself out. After a while, I was able to bump the throttle up some. Eventually, after about 30-45 minutes of idling and then increasing the throttle, it was running fine. I'd say let it idle and bump the throttle up every now and then and eventually it will be ok.
