People 150 / Re: Engine hesitates (back and forth) at higher speed???
« on: June 26, 2020, 07:59:46 PM »
There is 12,000 miles on the scooter.
I took it back to mechanic and he did a thorough re-check on the carburetor and spark plug. I also had the belt and rollers replaced that did stopped the jerky take offs. He never drove it before at higher speed - and drove it this time stating, "It feels like it just cuts of power for a second and then comes back. You can replicate what it is doing at a lower speed by hitting the kill switch quickly, then back on." So his suggestion is electrical and wants to replace the ignitor box.
Earlier he stated thinking it was a limiter (Can't remember if that is the word he used, but like a governor that keeps it from going over a certain speed). Called Kymco, they stated The People 150 doesn't have one. Mechanic stated never seeing a scooter without one.
So, he suggested looking at some scooter race sites to get an ignitor box that allows a higher speed.
Any thoughts anyone?
