Agility 50 / 2009 Agility 50 problems with starting / idling
« on: May 03, 2019, 07:40:09 PM »
I just bought a 2009 Kymco Agility 50 ONE with about 6500KM on it. On my test ride before I bought it, it fired up with out issue (maybe it was already warm) but since owning it I've been running into issues with starting / idling. Long story short, I've gotta simultaneously give it gas when starting it, when I start it without any throttle, it won't start. When idling at lights, I'm constantly throttling it, because if I don't it will die.
I just got it back from the shop, all the fluids changed out, carb basic cleaning received, valve clearance checked, and spark plug replaced. When I took it home ran fine, maybe because the guys at the shop had done a test ride before I got there and it was warm already. But now same issues...only difference is that now when idling, sometimes the revs kick up, where I can feel the scooter pushing a bit. If I throttle it a bit, the revs go back down, and the it putters out and dies.
It is pretty annoying to continusouly have to juggle the throlttle at any red light. Any suggestions? I took it to a Triumph dealer, as I don't have a Kymco dealer immediately near by, and the only scooter specific shops cater to Vespas only. I am hesitant to take it back to Triumph, as maybe they're not too specialized on scooters? Idk.
