No dealer where I live. Bike was shipped new from Miami.
I have the 2014 model with no issues.
I will remove carb and clean this weekend

I just decided to try the kick start and the clock started working again. Maybe it needed additional voltage to get it started

Super 8 150 / 2016 super 8 150x with starting and idling problems

I just collected my 2016 150x with only a few hundred miles.
Seems too new to have these issues. Previous owner said that's how it is since he got it new.

I have both 2014 and 2016 super 8 150. The 2014 is a better built bike in my opinion.
Instead of continuing with the proven super 8, kymco decided to cut costs and used the agility platform. Only differences are plastic panels.

I just purchased my 2nd super 8 150 with the same problem.  This is a 2016 model. I have to work on it next weekend

Karl,
Looks like only the clock stopped working as every thing else are functioning ok.
If anyone out there knows what controls the clock please let me know.
It's not a big deal but nice convenience to have

I disconnected the + battery terminal and ECU to mig weld the new exhaust header. After reconnecting the battery and ECU the clock will not come on

I received my GY6 header and modified it to fit the bike. Look at the attached pictures of the modifications.
I had to remove both ends. The muffler end had a flange with three holes and the end that goes to the engine had to be cut out and re-welded. Noticed how I used epoxy to hold the flange to the pipe before welding. This allows me to properly align the flange and pipe correctly to the engine exhaust port.
I have a video but I am still trying to figure out how to load it. Nine pictures were uploaded but looks like only one is showing

Super 8 150 / Re: Will not start.. please help

Use a flat screwdriver and loosen the bowl drain screw and let the gas runs out for a few minutes then tighten screw. Remove the two hold down screws for the electeric choke and remove it. Remove the two hold down screws for the diaphram cover and remove diaphragmand spring assembly.
Spray half can carb cleaner in choke and diaphragm plunger holes and let sit for a few minutes.
Loosen drain bowl screw and let carb drainfor afew minutes. Turn up idle screw 2 full turns and remember to readjust after engine warms up.
Put everything back together and start engine. If this dosen't work then get a mechanic to remove and clean carb

In my opinion the one best way to get a scooter to run faster is to increase the engine cubic capacity or CC.
All other mods are only superficial and may add so little that you will spend a lot but not get a lot in return.

I am aware that there might be some differences between kymco and chinese GY6 headers but I guess  I have to wait until I receive the header to see just how much modifications are needed.
This is my next weekend project
