People s200 / Re: New-to-me People S 200 and why are parts so hard to find?
« on: June 26, 2020, 06:50:27 AM »
I think you ignore the real CC of 163, as people assume People 200 S is a 200cc. Good luck with your search. At least one of the sites recommended has the parts manual online. https://solanocycle.dealerspikeparts.com/oemparts/l/kym/5b50e9a387a866110c2e0969/people-s-200-ba40ba-parts

People s200 / Re: Headlight drains battery (not charging)
« on: April 10, 2020, 08:51:38 PM »I did test the regulator I get 12v constont on the red, 12 volt with key on black, green good ground, pink 6 volt DC when running and yellow 6 volt DC when running. Does that seen correct?
The 6V DC seems wrong to me but I don't know. Where are you accessing pink and yellow wires? If I don't have to remove too much to get to them, I am willing to test my 2007 People S200.

Instead of stripping wires, think about using vampire connector.

People s200 / Re: Engine needs half to full throttle to start (resolved)
« on: October 02, 2019, 05:03:41 AM »
Thank you all for your comments and encouragement.
I obtained an O-ring to at O'Reillys for the intake manifold. Amazing that the People 200 S was in their computer that led the counter woman on scavenger hunt to find a suitable match. Turns out it was a part for 4cyl Acura Honda engine. (remember that KYMCO used to make bikes for Honda)
I have not done a long ride but went around the block to make sure no other obvious issues will rise up on my next journey.
I am not sure I ever want to step foot into the local Scooter shop, so the observation to talk to them will not have resolution.

No tea bag but there is a vacuum valve on the bottom of the tank. Manual has test procedure that I will work on this weekend. Thanks all for comments. I'll test and report.

I must add that I think option 1 is wrong because I can believe I will ever trust the only shop within 100 miles again.

I had this problem on signal to leave our housing area. Then a painted bicycle appeared on pavement 6 ft from curb. I stop on that and no longer have signal issues.

People s200 / Engine needs half to full throttle to start
« on: September 27, 2019, 09:10:10 PM »
Engine will not idle. The day started out fine. The bike started and got me 2 miles to the park to play Pickleball. 2 hours later I leave the park and get 2.5 miles down the road to get petrol and stop to turn left. Engine dies. I had to push it across street to get out of left turn lane.
At the curb on the stand, I was able to full (then half) throttle start the engine multiple times but could only sustain operation at least half throttle. Thinking this was lack of petrol situation I forced the engine to get me 2 blocks to gas station. Once full of new petrol and many attempts to start engine and reduce throttle lower, I decide to ride the 2 miles home never let it stall out. Luckily I only had 1 red light and coasted through a couple of stop signs.
Thinking the problem was idle setting I tried maxing out idle seat. No joy.
Then I removed the seat bucket and found that manifold from carburetor to cylinder was missing 1 of 2 nuts and the other was about to come off as well. The O ring for the manifold was distorted and not round.
Need opinions of my options:
Shop manual suggests there is a "fuel screen" but I cannot find any info on where it is located and can be cleaned or replaced.

Need opinions of my options:
- take it back the the shop that just worked on it less than 500 miles ago to replace head gaskets
- reassemble with new gaskets and O rings
- rebuild the carburetor while I have it off in case it was the cause of fuel problems
- suspect fuel in tank problem (bad gas) and flush the tank

« on: October 04, 2018, 12:14:49 AM »See if the head nuts are loose first. Use a GOOD torque wrench if not experienced.
Wouldn't I have to take it almost all apart to get to the cylinder/crankcase bolts/studs? Might as well get a new head gasket and put it in.
I have been waiting 3 weeks for parts from N.C. parts depot due to water issues. I have heard there is a west coast (California) parts depot but no one seems to know how to order from there.

In the ongoing search for the oil leak I have finally eliminated the scratched corner of the crankcase. The local auto parts store suggested adding dye to the oil. Using a UV light, it seems the oil is leaking from the cylinder/crankcase gasket. There is a previous thread from many years ago that discussed this problem.
I only have 6.7K mi on the bike. Is this a more common than reported issue?
Any idea what this might cost if I could find a local mechanic? Nearest dealer/shop according to KYMCO.com is > 100mi.

Thanks for the prompt knowledgeable response. I think that it is collected oil from an overfill. My bike is not EFI but carbuerated. I will drain and flush it.
Amazing how easy to get info is when you have pictures.

I am searching for a slow persistent oil leak. Coming some where from top or middle of engine.
