Agility 50 / Speedometer not working
« on: February 25, 2020, 08:45:09 PM »
I left my moped uncovered by accident in the snow and ice  :'( :'( and now the speedometer is not working. It will move slowly upwards and just either stay at a higher speed or slow down. But I am positive I am not going 20 MPH while sitting at a red light. Any suggestions on a quick fix, or do I need to replace the whole unit?

How did you fix it?

Carb problem:
-I fixed the carb problem by taking it into the dealer and letting them take care of it because I had a warranty. It took them upwards of a month but they did a lot of things to it.

Idle problem:
-I have just been adjusting the idle screw that is right near the carb under the bucket.

Did this answer your question?

I lerned the hard way
.Better to fix your self. Dealing with the kymco reps and the warrenty sucks my scoot was in the shop for 6 monthes under warrenty.

I agree, Kymco warranty isn't the best... I believe I got it fixed as it is running really good now, it still will turn off at stoplights every once in a while but it isn't as persistent as it used to be. Thanks for all the advice.

Hey Jacob, turn maybe a quarter clockwise, wait for 30 seconds, then repeat, when the idle rises a touch leave it there and keep track of how many turns so you can put it back if it's too much.

If the idle is too high, you may feel the back wheel "tremble" through the rear brake or find it's pulling when it shouldn't be.

So pretty much just turn it a quarter of the way and once the wheel in the back starts to move I have gone too much. Just wanna make sure I don't screw anything up.

No one has said it yet, so I will! The idle (tickover) jet is fixed. The idle adjustment screw regulates the AIR admitted behind the closed throttle plate. Closed idle screw = no idle air = mixture too rich, engine dies/will not idle. Wide open idle screw = major air admitted, mixture too lean, engine dies/will not idle. 2.5 turns out from LIGHTLY seated idle screw is a universal (since 1920) starting point.

Hey guys, so when I purchased the scooter the dealer tech did show me where to adjust the idle screw. So I just need to get in there and adjust it. Does anyone have suggestions on which direction I should adjust regarding my problem? To recap, my problem is that after a while of idle it just cuts off. Thanks for the advice.

When it's cold out and you start the scooter it should idle pretty fast until it warms up.  When it's warm, the idle should slow down to normal.  At least that's what most carbureted scooters with properly functioning bystarters do.  Correct me if I'm wrong on this, anyone.

Okay that sounds about right but after a while mine will just turn off.

I believe that Agility carburetors are CVK style which seem to adapt well to altitude changes without jet modifications.  Where do you live?

I am located in Blacksburg, VA. I am a college student and it just isn't running at full capacity like I want it to. I turn it on every mornin and let it warm up but after a few minutes they engine just cuts out and I have difficulty getting it started again.

So after riding it for a few weeks with the new carb, it isn't running ideally. It is running better than the previous carb so I am pleased with that. But now I am wondering if I need to jet the carb for a higher altitude. I am about 1700 ft above sea level from where I purchased the scooter.

Final update: We replaced the carb and it is running much better.

Just an update:

I dropped it off at the shop and they said it could be a couple of things:
-Clogged fuel pump/fuel line
-Vacuum leak
-Something clogged
-Bad gas

Now I doubt it is bad gas because and I think he just said that because my Kymco warranty doesn't cover that. I will be calling this weekend to get a progress report and will post more information once I have it.

Wow, didn't expect to get this much information. The dealer is 3 hours away but I am bringing it home anyway because I will be home for 6 weeks. I was just looking for a few suggestions on something to tell the guys at the dealership. I didn't want to dive deep into the engine due to potentially voiding my warranty and also because I do not have a strong mechanical background.  Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Best to listen to what they say and what they don't say to get a feel for how reliable their procedures are. This is anew bike still on warranty but something is definitely wrong with it. I started with the same model if yours has a carburetor. The thing was a pain to start when it was cold but always ran consistently once running. Where are you?

Yeah the thing is pretty hard to start in the cold but it still has trouble with keeping power once I start it. I am in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Yeah it has a carburetor.

Vacuum leak maybe. Main jet partially clogged, trash in float bowl. What have you checked so far?

I haven't checked anything. It is still under warranty so I don't want to void the warranty. I called the shop I bought it from and they said they didn't know so I figured I would ask in here so that way when I bring it back to the shop I can tell them some things to check for. Is there an easy way to check some of the things you listed?

So I am a college student and I am using my 2018 Agility 50 to get to and from classes. I am losing power after about 1/2 throttle and it seems as if I get ideal power in about 1/4 throttle. It also seems to have trouble holding the rev as it revs up right when I pull the throttle then drops down and I can't get much more power out of it. It is hilly and cold here at times but I don't know if that is a huge factor. It has 1050 KM on it and it is garage kept. What could be wrong?
