I have a moped, and it often just dies when it's idling, and i'm guessing it's because its idle is set too low. How do I raise the idle, or how else could I fix this problem?

If it has a carburetor one could adjust the idle.
But first!!!
Give it a tune up and change your fuel filter. Owners manuals are so you can do the simple stuff to keep you from having to pay for expert stuff until it is recommended by the owners manual or becomes obviously necessary or can be avoided "until later cuz its running fine now" or it BREAKS down.
Lots needs to be told about your conditions. Maybe there is water in the fuel from condensation because its been sitting a long time. Maybe you have a plastic fuel line with a hairline crack that you cant see which sometimes lets it suck more air than it should. Maybe your throttle cable has stretched and needs adjusting or is soon to break. Maybe the idle stop screw has moved. This screw if you have it, is separate from the idle adjustments mentioned by others.
You dont have to become an expert but you should know your wheels. You have detected a sympton; now work the problem.

wait, since its a bike not a car, you might not find the idle "screw" you might find a knob made specifically for adjusting the idle usually that knob is on the end of a rod, that leads to what should be the idle screw.
what make/model/year is this one?

Depends on the make and model of the moped or scooter - my site has information on preety much every pigaggio scooter so maybe you should check there:http://www.squidoo.com/AnecdoteSocialNetworks
In general there will be a knob near the carburretor.
But you need to check your excact model

idle screw usually on the side of the carb. turn in (clockwise)
if it stutters more its the idle mixture screw (wrong screw)
idle screw usually touches the slide so look up the aircleaner side and look for this screw that the slide touches

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
