LIKE 200i / Re: Cup holder?
« on: September 07, 2017, 09:53:44 PM »
I've been using the "Grippit Cup Holder" Sold for $8 on ebay.  It mounts with 2 suction cups.  So far I dig it.  I like that I don't have to drill anything and I can move it around as I see fit.  So far haven't found a drink that won't fit in it.

PaulF- I saw that rack too when first going down this road.  But really for the cost it's way too big for my skateboard still pretty cool.

Stig- I'm in Mount Vernon hour North of Seattle famous for our Tulip Fields in Spring time.  I'm 4 miles from my work and live in town so I'm rarely got too much gear loaded up.  Further more when I have the skateboard in the rack never been past 35 mph.  Luckily there are two skateparks within that speed range.  I don't want to go 55 with the skateboard flapping around.... well not yet anyway.

Made a little custom accessory that being a skateboard rack.  used 1/8" x 1.5" wide flat stock steel then bent it with hammer and wood blocks.  Glued some foam into the bends for extra grip on the skateboard while in place.  Went to ACE and got longer hardware to go into the stock location of the luggage box.  So the rack is fasten between the luggage box and rack.  Been running all summer long with no issues so far.  Need to figure out how to make a lock on it, can't leave it unlocked while running into the grocery store at the moment.

Need to make more custom mods for fun.  ACE is the place if you need any specialty hardware.

Well the 7$ one worked out.  The casement is slightly larger than the Kymco.  It almost site completely flush into the relay....maybe 1/16".  I can file a little off the cheap relay and it would be flush.  So it's somewhat plug and play.  Some  pitfalls are the clips don't work to lock the plugs together so electrical tape, zip tie, or something else to lock the plugs together.  It does not have the side clip which slips into the scooter frame so again maybe some 3M velcro or something else to modify it.  Although if placed right probably don't have to do either of the precautions noted above.

The cheap relay says 14VDC but on the bottom says 12V.... but the scooter's 12 volt activated it and the pump is running again.  I think I will not cancel my OEM one yet (it still hasn't shipped) just to have on the shelve for backup.

Bottom pic is the two relays next to each other.  The bottom relay is the Kymco OEM part.

I see what you mean now.  The outer plastic connection is different.  Maybe the actual Pin sizes for the electrical connection will be correct size that way with a little modification to the 7$ relay it will work.  Of course I need to also double check and make sure the switch pins line up the same way the OEM part is.  Worth a shot for 7$ while waiting for the OEM part.  Or could just cut the wires all together and get a new plug for the generic relay...but I won't go that far yet.

Thanks for the help and hopefully others will find this useful.  If I can easy mod the $7 relay I'll post pics for others.

A little update on this.  First I ordered the part from Kymcomonster..... 27$ for the relay then 22$ for shipping.  Not cheap and I ordered the part last week and it still hasn't shipped yet.  I understand that it probably had to come in overseas to their store then ship to me.  No problem.

Vespbretta was spot on and all that was needed to remove is a few screws and the front cover and a bolt.  here is a pic of it open and the relay sits in the opening on the right side of the pic. Real easy to get to.  I verified its the relay with the wiring diagram. colors of wires line up and its the only 4 prong plug.  Also here are some close up pics of the relay.  Pretty simple and does not look unique at all.  Looks like its only a 15 amp relay.  So I ordered this 40amp relay from Amazon for $7 and will be here Wednesday:
 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FH7YP9I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

....seems to easy and hopefully it's plug and play for others out there.  Paying $22 for shipping on the OEM relay hurts plus the relay itself being $27.  That's two month's worth of gas money for my scoot!

Thanks for the part number and advice. I was having a heck of a time finding it.  Not even the mighty google could find "Kymco Like 200i fuel pump relay".  Maybe it's uncommon relay to break.  I will take photos and describe what parts to take off to get there to help out.  Cyclopedia wants you to take off almost all the body parts.  With work and kid duty probably won't get to it until this weekend so I will update later.  This scooter is easy to work on I can't imagine what the dealer would charge me.

2015 Like 200I and I love it! 

A few weeks ago it would not start, since its a few years replaced battery still no start.  Then I realized fuel pump was not running.  I did the test procedure on Cyclepedia and everything pointed to fuel pump.  Replaced per Stig's plug and play information (thanks Stig).  Back and running for about a week.  No start and again did not here pump when I turn the ignition on.  Pulled apart again and ironically at that point it ran that night weird, I was tired so figured I put the seat back on the next day.  Next day no start so it was a intermittent problem so far.  I checked the power/ running to pump per cyclopedia and no power is getting to pump so this tells me that fuel pump relay has burned out?

I toggle the kill switch a few times, double checked grounds, checked fuse all seemed good.  I should probably run power direct to pump to confirm.

I didn't see a topic on the relay so started one a few ???? if anybody knows:
1.  Where is the relay located can't find it but I think its probably in the front with the ignition...shoot lots of screws and panels to take off.
2.  Any other ideas other than the relay? My only other though is to unwrap some of the harness where it was pinched down by the factory maybe a wire got exposed inside but if it was a short the fuse would pop.
3.  Where can I get this relay? I can't find it anywhere on the web all I can find is the ignition relay maybe it's called something else.

Fun Stuff!
