For Sale / Wanted: Kymco People 50 Primary Seat
« on: July 22, 2014, 01:28:19 AM »
I say 'primary' because mine also has the buddy seat.  Dog chewed up my main seat.  (No longer have the dog.)  My seat is brown, but I would settle for black.

Don't know if these are standard across model years?

People 50 / P50 Won't start
« on: July 03, 2011, 09:06:10 PM »
Hello All,
I've read several dozen posts on this great forum, but have yet to get my P50 to start.

The scooter sat for about a year.  Yesterday, I drained all the old gas, opened the drain screw on the bottom of the carb and drained the old gas out of the bowl.  Fresh gas w/ several ounces of Sea Foam for good measure. Old plug was very black and gunky. New plug, correct gap.  New battery, fully charged by the shop I bought it from.  Would turn over but never start.  Definitely getting gas into the carb because if I open the drain screw back open, gas drains out.  

If I pull the plug and spray some Igniter into the chamber, reseat the plug, it will start and run for a few seconds, just burning off the starting fluid.  I can do this with both the kickstarter and the electric start.

I removed the carb.  Pulled and cleaned the jets.  One question, with the small, secondary jet, should it be clear all the way through, lengthwise?  The 4 tiny holes in the needle body were all clear.  When I pulled the larger, main jet, I could see daylight through the length of the tube. Not so with the smaller jet, but I've never done this step before and don't know if it should be clear all the way through.

Having pulled the plug, spray in starter fluid, crank it, runs for a few secs, cuts off.  I've done this maybe 20 times, and the plug looks as clean as when I bought it, like it's not burning any fuel/oil mix.  

What mechanism delivers the fuel to the chamber and how do I check it?  What else should I try?

Many thanks!
