People 50 / Re: Auto Choke Resistance Values
« on: December 05, 2010, 02:16:26 AM »
just an FYI- my people 50t came with a #70 main carb jet. Way to small, so replaced with i think, a #90 or #92. This did more than anything to resolve hard start/warming up issues. And, it's low budget- but I "choke" by placing thumb in air intake when starting/idling.

  far as I know, and I've asked around plenty- no known way to add manual choke, I would love to do that also. Auto choke seems to be largely useless. Good luck...

hey OS, and Rianna- sorry about the lateness of this reply. The jet in it (factory) was only a 75. The new one is I think a 90, 0r 92. I found a great mechanic-semi retired guy who  used to sell/ service Kymco at his car lot. It really helped alot, even at 35 deg. it runs good when warmed up. My new procedure is, start bike with thumb in air intake to choke it a bit. Let it idle about 2 minutes, good to go.If it starts to puke while idling, put thumb back in intake.

 Last ride of the season yesterday. Put her in storage.

P.S Os- the acceleration has improved big time! cheap to do, so go for it..

Lankeeyankee, whatever iridium plug i have (forget the number) is not the one shown. It is actually the same length as the standard. But, it made no difference, so I just keep it with me as a back up now. Repalcing my main jet with a larger one, and re-tuning has greatly improved the cold weather problem. Not to mention quicker acceleration, really noticed the difference.

Axy, all I can say is WOW! sorry to hear about that pension racket in particular. Hopefully your health contribution gets you some decent services. I understand some EU countries have excellent H.C, and some do not..

Hardly- That sounds like a pretty good rate for comprehensive insurance.

Fall colors still nice on coast of lake michigan. And 70 degrees today! Nice cruising on a curvy road following lake MI. When the leaves start to drop you have awesome sights of lake, and unbelievable mega mansions...

Lankee, just curious, how do you cool that thing if running on alcohol and nitrous? Am I mistaken, or is it really gonna run hot?

I have to look up words and stuff to understand what I read. lol

 Believe me, so do I! like what the heck is a bystarter?!? Roller weights, variators, boss something or other ( I fear those things called bosses for some reason LOL!!) Not just a "girl" thing if a man wants to be honest (-:  A whole new vocabulary!
