Agility 125 / Just bought a used Agility 125-electric start & speedo not working
« on: September 04, 2014, 06:12:23 PM »
Hello,
I posted a couple months back about possibly buying a scooter, which I ended up passing on simply because it was too far away to make the buy worthwhile. I found another one a guy was selling nearby that needed to go ASAP and got a deal I couldn't pass up. It's a 2007 that he bought new, but had been sitting for 4 years so I assumed it would need a bit of work, but at 400 bucks for the scooter, metal loading ramp, and cover I figured I would give it a shot.
Once I got it home I charged up the battery and cleaned it up. All electronics seem to work just fine, with the exception of the electric starter, which I cannot get to do anything at all (no noises, no engaging, nothing). I can kick start it just fine and it runs with everything working, it's just the electric start won't work.
Also, I noticed the speedo wasn't going up with the RPMs, however I never took it out for a test run since the tires were low on air and I need to pump them up first. Could that just be because it's up on the kickstand or could that be related to the electric start not working as well?
I tried doing a little searching first, but I didn't really find much. I should get the tires pumped up tonight and take it out for a spin, so I'll know if the speedo works for sure later. I was wondering if maybe the electric start isn't working just because the battery is so old/worn out? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
