In Alaska I found this 16 Kymco 450i blue in color
Owner claims only 297 miles but now I noticed the odometer does not work or maybe I don’t have it programmed correctly.
Randomly the engine shuts off, display is not effected and it turns over instantly upon key turn. It can happen as little as five minutes or after a warm up and mile run. It has never happened during motion but it has upon stop/slow 1mph . Any tips would help please!!
I did get it to run non stop for about 45 minutes but then I noticed antifreeze spilling from the overflow tube. The plastic reservoir was Luke warm and the AF was bubble and trouble 👿. When I got this utv yesterday I vaguely recall the AF being filled above the max indicated line. I’m hoping this was just a case of too much and the radiator could not properly move it. After it cooled the reservoir was bone dry so I went to Walmart got some ethylene based AF and refilled the unit. Allowed her to warm for 15 and then went for a mile run. I did not see anymore bubbles and the radiator was hot to the touch but not scolding.
What I have done so far maintenance wise:
Changed spark plug new iridium
Emptied old gas and added new 87 unleaded gas
Topped off engine oil, purple royal 5-30 .5q
Cleaned air filter
Needed to do
Test battery voltage
Change engine oil
Change front rear differential
Check valve
Adjust carb (old plug was black wet but later had a white tip)
Clean carb
Clean oil filter
Clean fuel ?? filter
