General Discussion / Re: hesitant to run

No  the filter is not wet. The scooter is protected from the rain . It was a rainy day is what I was saying when had these strange things happen again. So it seems ( could be wrong ) it starts and runs with the filter off when it was raining early in the day. But when I came home from being a away a week it started and ran just fine with all the components attached including the filter.

I could find the dry gas and try it , couldn't hurt. How would water get in tank with the lid locked closed and the seat down ? But the peculiar thing is it was running with the filter and cover back on  until the rainy day yesterday. To get home It will run with the air filter off only.

Howdy, lots of interesting answers.
 I will just go down the list.
1. yes it is new a 2022. Maybe its old technology, yes a carb.
2.I ride it every day and it is hot out, im in Florida, gas is fresh.
3.Maybe the hose got water somewhere it shouldn't have.
4. Ive been riding no problem , went away for a week , started and ran when came back no problem. Today it rained part of the day. I started it and got half way to laundry ( half a mile ) and it stumbled but made it. I started it leaving made it 50 yards and stumbled. When you pull on throttle it slowly dies and no power. So I was prepared and like before , first I pulled off the outside cover of airfilter. It started areved a little better but it stalled on the stand when I pulled back on throtlle. I made it a block and that was it. I pulled the filter off and it started up.When you look thru filter yo see day light and it seems dry. It started but I sprayed starter fluid in it to get me home, which is 3 blocks, if I keep throttle on lightly it wont stall. But heck cant live like this !  Any ideas my friends ? Thank  you.

I have newer Kymco Super 8 150. I washed it the other day. Rode it around for 10 minutes to dry it. The next day I rode it 5 miles and in turning in to complex, it would not rev up just would stay on at idle but die if pulled the throttle. I had to walk it about a mile. I tried a few things later in the day tipping bike , took air filter off . sprayed starter fluid . Something worked and got me home that evening. The next day rode it for an erand no problem. Then it happened again . It starts right up idles yuo can rev it but a few minutes later when you pull back throttle it just bubmbles and if you keep it pulled it most likely dies. BUT not all the time . I pulled the filter off sprayed starter fliud a couple times and seems if I dont let go of throttle it will get me where i want but if its stop and go could be a problem  but this is definately not the fix. I went one day were nothing was a problem , how odd. Any one have any ideas ? Thank s.

Super 8 150 / Re: Speed run after break in
« on: June 11, 2022, 02:25:24 PM »
Hello   Geezyrideer1995

I just read your  post  : Speed run after break in. I have owned a 2021 Super 8 for about 10 months now and I am highly disappointed in the top speed as well. Why did they lie to us when they said it goes 65 ? My top is 55 is well. My kitted 50cc I owned for 14 years goes faster ! I am on here try to find out if there is a way to get it to go 65 . If you found anything please let me know. Thank you kindly.

Yes thank you .   I just never expected to have to do this , how evil of the person to do this.
I liked a lot the dimpled texture of the stock vinyl , especially during the hot Florida months.
Anyway this caught my fancy  https://www.ebay.com/itm/351373369221?ul_noapp=true

They are sending samples to make sure color is what I think it is .

Technical | How To / want a manual choke , can't find . Advice where to buy ?
« on: March 01, 2020, 06:07:25 AM »
I have an 19 mm Arreche carb on my kitted 73 cc kymco cobra.  Its been like pulling teeth to actually find a manual choke to stick in it. It seems I have emailed around the word to try and find and no one replies  or if by slight chance  they do  its not helpful with anything that will tell me if it fits, comes with  everything I need, the needle  etc.  I simply want to lean over to turn it off or on . My carb is fully exposed.

Im 90% sure it was a crazy neighbor with anger issues, but have no evidence , its sad that people you thought you knew were good aren't . I decided to make a police report and then I will copy it and tape it  above my scooter.   I looked under atv as you suggested and scooters seat covers on amazon. Nothing really sticks out. Im thinking if I at all succeed at a new one , it might be in some warehouse in Asia .

The foam is ok , but you can not get it reupholstered to be the same, it has a specific design and its some kind of dimpled vinyl with variations through out the saddle. I did find that link you provided on ebay but is not the same saddle as I have . I emailed them 2 days ago , no response. 
I did call Kymco USA. Has anyone noticed they always talk on the offensive , never wanting to help to shooo  you away with a dealership phone number.  I persisted and then called some place called Chap motto, the parts guy couldn't find it , but said he sees a diagram, after 10 minutes of getting nowhere, I asked for him to please email the info so I may order, whelp never got that email. Still looking for new, barely used or some kind of identical cover to staple on.

Sorry for late reply.

Im certain the battery/fuses are good and pretty certain the cdi is fine. I could not find any youtube or advice on where to stick multimeter probes to test cdi and with my luck if I do it wrong Id ruin it , and don't have that option at the moment as its my transportation . Id say if it takes off like a rocket ship , its getting ok spark,  and that's never changed unless I messed with the air fuel screw . 

I still can't make sense of why its so loud even when its bolted up tight now.
No air leaks can be found except I guess somehow from the exhaust but I can't seem to figure it out. The idle revs high at stop light and sometimes comes down in a bit or not at all.  Another thing ( why I initially started this thread was scooter would not idle ) , but now it does but for a while it wouldn't .Recently I popped the gas lid off and that seemed to make the difference. I checked fuel flow like instructed and it showed it was working fine. Its like this scooter has Gremlins . There are no respectable scooter shops near me  and it seems everything has gone to crappy 4 stroke also.

You wrote : I am quite convinced that a new battery should actually be hooked to a battery charger before installation.

Yes I charged all of them . Before all the problems , I tried a jumper box and it turned it over real good , but then later didn't . I came to the conclusion it might have been how I put the starter gear back in .  Anyway I should test the cdi if it is getting 9,6 volts is that correct ? 

Also this wont address the hot plug , but the * MODIFIED my message *    start up and idle  issue seems to go away when its hot out ( I live in South Florida , US). So that got me thinking about pressure and with in lines and stuff. Recently as I think I mentioned it wasn't starting well at all and when someone mentioned fuel valve and to pop the gas lid off , that possibly it wasn't venting allowing the fuel to circulate.  I did that and it seemed to work.
