Hey everyone sorry i haven't responded computer died finally its fixed. I have a people 50 year 2002. Not sure if its 2 or 4 stroke. But its been running great so I didn't worry. I'm going to change it again but will use a 2 stroke oil this time. Any recommendations?  Does this scoot have a filter?? If so where is it?

Hey question for u all... I was told to use 5w-40 synthetic. Today my oil was really low and the auto store didn't have the oil type so the Rep advised that 5w30 would be just as good. I trusted his opinion and refilled the oil. My oil light turned off after. I have not cleaned/ replaced the oil filter. I don't even know if there is a filter to replace. I just got my kymco people 50. Can anyone tell me if there is a filter and where I can find it? What oil type do u guys use? Also, can putting  5w30 cause the bike to stall?
Thank u everyone :)

To be honest I did try the kick start but was unsure how to get it started. I had my key in and the switch on when I put my weight on the stand it turns but did not make a full turn. I got frustrated bc I was unsure if I was doing it right.

I thought of the spark plug but haven't checked it yet. Do u know the socket size to buy it?

Hello everyone!  I'm new to the scooter game and I love riding! I consider myself very handy as I have done brake jobs and tune ups on various cars, but don't really know where to start on a scooter.

I have a people 50 scooter yr 2002 the has 7200 kilometers. I bought it 3 months ago and since then I have cleaned the air filter, cleaned the carburetor, changed the oil (admittedly did not did clean the filter just replaced with synthetic oil), replaced the transmission oil with synthetic and also have put seafoam in the tank once when i first got it.
   Yesterday my bike ran fine as usual but when I was ready to head on home it woudnt start! The electrical starter keeps turning  trying to get it to start but no fire. It seems a little lazy when it turns. Recently i have been forced to turn the gas while turning the scooter on so it can fire (i didnt have to before cleaning the carb) and it wont respond to that either. Could the carb be full of gas bc I turns the gas too many times while firing the engine? Could it be because my gf put mid level gas instead of the usual plus gas?  I don't know where to begin looking and need your guidance. Thanks in advance!
