I need a part that cost $1.98 but everywhere wants $9.99 for shipping anyone know a place that doesn't make money? The part could literally be put in an envelope lol.

Sorry for the confusion someone installed it for me its more of a side business he came recommended well but apparently not. It's hard to find anyone to work on these things if there not a honda. But I have learned a lot about my bike and feeling a lot more comfortable working on it now.
Plus you guys are loads of help!

Ok guys problem is solved upon further investigation I found two missing vacuum lines so now I need to find out if they were missing before I got the new carb or if they took them off and didn't put them back im surprised it was running so good once it started lol.

I am going to try your suggestions tonight but from doing some research I saw someone noticed that his kymco super 8 was wired backwards from factory so he had to switch the wires around on the auto choke im thinking that could also be my issue? Most scooters are AC and mine is DC so maybe the auto choke is wired up for ac if that is even a thing lol?

Yes runs quite well once I get it warmed up. Is that different than the autochoke which is also new with the carb.

Super 8 150 / Starting issues
« on: July 29, 2020, 12:48:59 PM »
I have a 2009 super 8 150 I put in a new carb because the old one went bad. I got it idling well and it has good rpm.
The problem is when it sits it takes a while to get started like 10-30 sec holding down the start button. It will run and drive great and start right up after that but if it sits for a couple hours its hard to start again.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Two quick questions can anyone confirm if the 2009 super 8 150 has h4 type headlights?
Second question what is a more white looking bulb you guys use? Can I use an led bulb kit or is that not advisable with the stupid dimming of the lights when stopped lol.
Thank you.

« on: April 29, 2020, 03:54:16 PM »
Hey I am having trouble keeping my seat locked. When I am ridding I can feel the seat pop up and also with the right tug I can open it without a key.
I was just going to replace the assembly but I can't seem to find the part for my bike or if someone know how to adjust it?
Thanks for your help!!
