General Discussion / Re: ouch, I think I screwed up!
« on: June 13, 2011, 12:20:38 PM »
only 3600 kilometers on odometer. I have not yet pulled apart, but feel it could be modified a bit. She has a ton of pick up (almost does wheelies) to 30 mph, sluggish to 35 mph, and then will run up and bury the needle of the speedometer. I have verrified speed on GPS of over 50 mph. This is why im guessing there have been modifications. I am really feeling that the wot situation caused my problem. Pulled plug, and it looked a little lean, but not that bad. Will keep you updated as I start to take apare and get my parts in from Scooter Assassin.

Thanks for coming through again sid. I think I will just buy the piston and gasket kit for scooter assasins. Not sure if it is vertical or horizontal. If you were looking at engine mounted, the head and spark plug are between 2 and 3 o'clock, based on a regular clock. Can you help with the big bore?

Will be pulling apart this coming weekend. Was hoping to find engine type so that I can order right away on ebay. I am quite possibly thinking of putting a big bore in, if i can get the info that I need. Thanks sid. you were a huge help on last problem. This one unfortunately was caused by me. I did not run out of oil, I ran it a wot for at least 5 miles on a 98 degree day. Can you say dumbass?

If I were to be looking for parts for a 2 stoke people 50 motor, would it be a minarelli type, jog type? I am having a hard time identifying the proper parts to get for gaskets, pistons, bigh bore kit, etc. I would love to get my order in with whoever Im buying from, so that I can get it fixed. Please help?

I am looking for the gasket kit, piston/rings, or a big bore kit for my 2 stroke people 50 motor. What is the model of the engine on here so that I can find? are the head and base gaskets product specific, or can a generic gy6 gasket be used. Has anyone done a big bore on their engine, and if so, what kit? Results? Thanks for your help.

Just look for GY6 2 stroke big bore kit? I have done the big bore on my honda spree and it worked well. One thing I had to do was add 2 stroke oil to the gas in conjunction with the oil pump, because the oil pump could not keep up with the displacement of the big bore. Will this be necessary with a big bore on this. Would like to have to do the least bit of tuning possible.
Since the engine is freely turning over, could this just be a matter of changing out the head gasket? Will that be the fastest way of getting back on the road? If piston and rings appear to be in tact, should they be replaced anyway, or can I just replace the head gasket and move on?

Yikes!,
I think i messed up bigtime. I got a People 50 two stroke a few months ago. Seems like all restrictions were removed, and she really moved. I wanted to get to work a little early this morning, and was cruising along at wot with the speedo pegged, for more than a few minutes. All of a sudden she just died. Once she came to a stop, i noticed some smoke coming out of the crankcase cover vent. Once I let her cool down for 20 minutes or so, I tried to start. Seems like I have lost all compression. Turns over easy and fast. What are my options here? I should have never pushed her so hard.

Im back on the road! I replaced the CDI with a generic DC CDI from Monster Scooter Parts off of ebay. Got the part delivered for less than $30. The pin configuration was not the same as the Kymco, but was able to get a copy of the pinout, and download the Service Manual. Between the 2, I was able to make it work on the first shot. Im looking forward to good riding now for the rest of the summer/fall. Thanks for your help Sidesloth.

So these are not Kymco Specific parts? I can purchase a DC pulsed CDI from anywhere and it should work? Thanks for your help on this sloth. I appreciate the quick response.

???Call me impatient, but I posted this on Thursday of last week, as of this morning, 111 people have read it, and not 1 person has responded? 
I have no Kymco dealer nearby, and am stuck without a daily driver. I have to rely on others to get me to work, etc. I guess I have gotten spoiled by the folks at the Honda Spree forum, where I would ususally get responses within minutes! Does my problem sound like a coil or CDI problem? Are these parts usually changed at the same time? Where is a good place to get them? (again, no Kymco dealer nearby) I would really appreciate any help that is offered.

Help!!!!!
I bought a new plug, gapped it, installed it, and still would not start. I pulled the plug and checked for spark, and I am getting none. From what I have read, I should first check my coil, then cdi. Bike rode beautiful for 1000k, then just died last night when I was decellerating. I have gotten caught in a couple of big rain storms on my commute home over the past few days. Yesterday I rode it for about 10 minutes, and just stopped.
Can I remove the coil and bring somewhere to have tested? CDI Box? Are the just routine replaces and if coil doesnt work then replace cdi? Where is a good place to purchase?
Please, any help is appreciated. This is my daily driver, and I need it back!

Hi,
New to forum as well as to my Kymco People 50 2T. Had a Honda Spree and the folks on that forum are fantastic. Hoping to find the same here. Bought a People 50, 2001, with 956k on the odometer for $500. Think I stole it considering I sold my Modified 1984 Spree for the same amount. I am looking fo a black buddy seat for this. Where can I get one, and is there anyone on the forum who has one for sale?
I was also out riding last night, and out of the blue (it seems), I lost spark. Going to get new plug this afternoon. How many miles typically for a plug change?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Todd
