Agility 50 / Re: Throttle stuck when weather is freezing
« on: February 01, 2014, 07:01:31 PM »
Stuck again!

I tried lubing the throttle wire. Everything seemed to work well for a while, exept for that it was impossible to squeeze any oil into the wire. Something seemed stuck.

So I went for another workaround. I got a brand new throttle wire, and the project is to replace the old one with that. In order to do that, it is necessary to take of a lot of the covers, including the floor board. And now I am stuck again. The manual says:

FLOOR BOARD REMOVAL
Remove the rear carrier and rear seat. <-- CHECK, that went well.
Remove the met-in box. <-- CHECK, that went well.
Remove the frame body cover. <-- CHECK, that went well.
Remove the four bolts and six screws attaching the floor board. <-- CHECK, that went well.
Remove the floor board. <-- Stuck.

Here is an image of the situation:


The green markings in the picture is where I got the the floor loose.
The red parts is where it is stuck.

Below the battery there is a fifth bolt. My wrench is to big for that tiny space. I don't think that's the problem, since it in text and picture only says four bolts needs to be removed in the manual:



So - what do I do to get past this stuckness? :-)
I've dragged my Agility indoors, since it is to cold to do this outside. I'd really like to get past this, so it won't take up all the space in the living room and so that I can enjoy riding it again.

Thanks a lot in advance!

On some danish scooter forums, people suggest lubricating the "gasspjæld" (danish word) could help. Google translates that to "throttle". It's seems, it's some round plate somewhere that turns in its center axis. It is suggested that it could get stuck open due to dirt or frost.

Where is that found? How is that done? Elaborate pictures and/or video would help me a lot.

I guess, it would be a good idea to squeeze some oil through the throttle cable aswell. But how do I get to it's top end?

Agility 50 / Throttle stuck when weather is freezing
« on: January 23, 2014, 06:22:22 PM »
Hi

As the headline says, my Kymco Agility 50 has this problem that when the temperatures falls to below freezing point (0ºC=32ºF), the throttle gets stuck. It always happens in full throttle position. The throttle handle gets "loose", I can turn it whatever I want with ease, but the engine keeps on going in full throttle.

A month back I turned it in to a mechanic, and they solved the problem back then by doing something to the cable and/or the mechanism in the handle. They didn't do anything to the carburator.

I would very much avoid having to turn it in to a mechanic every other month throughout every winter to have them solve this problem. So - I'd be extremely happy if anyone here could explain to me what to do. I am still a newbie, and need all the help, I can get from you. :-)
Thanks in advance!

How do I get to the mechanism inside the throttle handle?

Update:
I had to turn my Agility in to a mechanic.
They filled up the oil, replaced the spark plug and the battery plus sprayed some cables and connections with some silicone spray.
It's up and running again and the world is a better place. :-)

OK - so now my Agility won't start either. LOL

There was this really rainy day. The scooter was parked under a roof, but the moist in the air caused it not to start. Not by the electric starter and not by the kick starter.

I got these suggestions from a Danish forum, and I will try them out in a week or so:

"Experiencing problems starting in moist weather sounds like moist is getting where it is not supposed to be. Try checking out the spark plug Wire."

I found a video, that descibes what to do in this situation:


Some other guy made his scooter start by taking the air filter off. Then it started by the first kick. He then cleaned the filter and it was all good.

In this semi-cold weather my agility also has a hard time starting with the electric starter button. But 1-4 kicks with the kick starter starts it every time - so far.

If you have had problems with your engine stopping in rainy or moist weather, waiting 5 minnutes is enough to be able to start the engine again.
This is because heat from the engine heats up the carburator in that time enough for the moist to vaporize.

If this sounds familiar, then go a head and try out that Isopropyl alcohol product.  ;)

Sure, cool. I kind of like caps.  :)

Pont is, that ice in the carburator is a problem even when weather is above freezing point. - Due to vaporizing reactions lowering the temperature in the carburator.
 
And this kind of liquid added to the gazoline might very well sort that problem out.

Peace out.  :)

Freezed water in the carburator starts to be a problem even a few degrees above zero (celcius), because of some vaporizing process taking place, reducing the the temperature in the carburator.

Days with pourring rain or a lot of moist in the air also causes problems, that these kinds of products can reduce, since the water in the carburator is most often caused by moist from the air-intake. So it's a very good idea to use this from +5 to -1 degrees celcius. Below that there is not much moist in the air, and you won't experience the problems as much.

I am still more and more sure, this will help you out. Last thing you need to work out is what those kinds of products are called in the country you live in. I think your father can help you out with that, else ask a scooter dealer or ask at a gas station.

I had the exact same problem as you, and added something to the fuel called "kaburatorvæske" in danish.
It seems it helped a lot. I can't figure out what it is called in english. But it prevents icing and moist in the carburator.

The product I use is based on Isopropyl alcohol, but other types also exist.

This used to be very common in Denmark and was used a lot on older gasoline powered cars with carburators. Today it is used to a lesser degree because of engines with direct injection are more common, I guess.

I hope you will try it out. It would be a shame if it works miracles and you don't give it a chance.

Agility 50 / Re: Windshields... Who has one and what have you found.
« on: November 25, 2013, 09:12:10 PM »
I've got this one.

http://www.easyparts.nl/showarticles_info/01642210_A/0-1688-4602-350-3326-4046/Windscreens-Fabbri-High.html

I haven't noticed any change in top speed, but agree with woodcutter, that it makes the ride a whole lot more comfortable.

This model protects your gloves from being drenched when it rains.

It was a bit too big for Danish Law on the subject, so I cut a bit of the top and personalized the shape a bit with a Jigsaw.

Agility 50 / Lubrication points?
« on: November 25, 2013, 08:57:55 PM »
Hi all.

I found these two images in the manual about lubrication points, when it comes to general maintainence.

But as a complete newbie, I would very much like some more information on how to come around it. Could anyone ad to this with photos/videos of how to do it?





All the very best to all of you.

Wrouuuuummmm!

Would adding Ethanol to the fuel do any good in this situation?

Agility 50 / Re: Gearing problem
« on: September 26, 2013, 08:45:26 PM »
Short version:
My mate helped me out, and it works perfectly now.

Long version:
Had problems getting the bolt holding the clutch in place off. I thought, I had figured it all out, using a chain wrench to hold the bell in place put into an iron tube, giving it support from the floor, so it wouldn't slip. I then used an ordinary wrench on the bolt and had a go at it with a hammer in order to loosen it. It didn't work. I couldn't keep the clutch bell from slipping in the chain wrench.

I pulled quite a few hairs out of my scalp at that point.

I texted my friend about my problems, and he replied, I should use an air powered impact wrench. Luckily there is such one in the workshop where I live, but I have never used such one before and didn't know how all the tubes are supposed to fit together in order for it to function. I got an introduction from my neighbor and got started. It seemed to go well. Only it didn't. At. All.

I managed to turn the bolt into something much rounder than a bolt is supposed to be. At this point I said some very bad words in a somewhat loud voice. And pulled out some more hair.

Called up my friend, and he was kind enough to pass by and fix everything up with his magic touch. In a matter of minutes, the clutch and the clutch spring was replaced with new spare parts and the Kymco Agility 50 was once again working like a charm.

So - there I was, a bit closer to having a bald head, thinking that this just might be the beginning of a great career for me in the business of mechanics.

Thanks  a lot, man.

I'll give it a go and tell you the outcome of it.
I have a friend who is willing to help me out, if this is more than I can handle myself.
But first I will have a go at it. :-)
