People 50 / intermittent starting issues 2003 People 50
« on: August 24, 2010, 04:47:52 AM »
Last fall I bought a used 2003 people 50. pretty low miles, in really great shape. used it quite a bit until the MN weather got too cold in nov or dec. I winterized it, and got a new battery this spring.
my trouble is for much of this year it's been intermittently not starting. I got the carb cleaned and spark plug changed. It started like a dream for a week or so. The weather here in MN has been pretty rainy/stormy, so I haven't had as much of a change to try to ride it as I'd like. When I try to start her up, it wants to- I've got electrical, it turns, but wont start. Sometimes it "almost" starts, but then doesn't. I had been thinking that it was a morning thing, or a wet thing, because sometimes it seemed like it started better later, but I'm not so sure about that theory now. I've tried kick starting, manual choking, putting it on it's side for a while (did all that the other day and it started right up the next day)
Has anyone had any similar issues? got any ideas about what's wrong?
The shop I took it to said since they just did the work, to go ahead and bring it back. Problem is I'm having trouble getting it to start so I can bring it there!
