People 50 / engine revving without throttle
« on: March 15, 2016, 11:26:03 PM »
2001 Kymco People 50 2t
so i spent the last night in the garage tearing into my people because i wanted to get into the cylinder and see how it works and also clean it of carbon/replace the gaskets... i did cut my own gaskets so keep that in mind
everything went good (i thought) because when i went to kick it, it started up first kick like a charm. everything sounded great and it was idling way better than before i took the cylinder apart
then i leaned it forward off the center stand and as soon as the rear wheel hits the ground, the engine starts revving without the throttle being applied and the machine starts racing forward.
way too tired to try and fix it now, so i thought i'd post while i let my ideas on fixing it gather.. im 90% sure that it has to do with the throttle cable so thats where i'm looking first.. if yal have any input that would be awesome
this was my first time doing something like this and i wanna be able to come out feeling good about it
