People 50 / People S50 2T starting problem
« on: March 16, 2011, 08:41:31 AM »
Hello guys,
I've been following the forum for some time now but mainly in observer mode
since my Kymco was running fine...
I said was running fine... I've had some minor (and major) issues of late;
Namely, if I try to start my scoot in the morning (or after few hours), it won't start unless I cover the air intake (and even then it takes some time) - without it, no joy. Once it starts, it works without an hitch: I can turn it off, start it again, drive it etc... but once it is off for several hours, I have to do it all over again.
I disassembled the carb, cleaned it (although I think it was sparkling clean), and still the problem persists. The spark is good, auto choke works (the service confirmed that), battery is new...
I had some bad experience with the local Kymco service in my area, and I am not going back to them.
You guys have any idea what it could be?
Thank you in advance.
