Title: Will any carb work for 2006 agility
Post by: andy670ho on July 11, 2022, 02:30:04 PM

It’s time for a new carb and I see the new ones from Kymco are $150. Looking to get a replacement from Parts for Scooters. I see the bodies are a bit different so wondering if that matters? Has anyone replaced their carb with a different one? If so which one? Thanks. This a 2006 agility 50 4t

Which carb are you looking at from Parts for Scooters?  I tried an el cheapo carb from Amazon for my Agility.  Not a good decision.  I ended up using the jets from the Amazon carb in the Agility carb.  The Kymco carb is actually a good tunable unit.

I would like to keep the oem one but can’t find a new float bowl gasket for it and it’s leaking pretty bad. Any idea where to get oem parts for that carb?

just a thought...went to kymcopartsonline to look at schematics...nothing for your specific model carb but they People S50 is a 4 stroke 50cc..see link...does this look like your carb? Lots of Kymco parts are shared between models.

Cheap carburetors may fit but they're really junk.  They're poorly made, they leak, and mostly they're a menace to mankind.  Keihin carbs are excellent quality, even the ones made in China. Kymco carbs are well made but I don't like the tuning. Otherwise they're OK.  It's possibly worth buying a cheap clone carb just to get the gaskets and fittings since Chinese tech is based on everything being swappable. So a back-yard sand-cast carb may have Keihin gaskets.  But it's always a bit of a crap-shoot.  PS: the neoprene gaskets last for a lifetime, and are nearly always salvageable. Maybe look online for a Chinese Keihin carb?  Just sayin'
