Downtown 300 / Re: battery size problem

I went to autozone yesterday and asked for a Bs9 Moped battery and they had it there and gave it to me right away it was easy.

Downtown 300 / Maybe the Starter?
« on: July 20, 2021, 04:49:54 PM »
So I took off my kill switch on the stand because it was messing everything up. The bike started to work fine, but sometimes, If I had the kickstand a certain way, it wouldn't start even after I took out the switch (maybe I didn't take all of it out idk) either way. It was killing the battery, but it would turn on fine after a couple of tries. So I am trying to get it to work yesterday, and at first, I thought the ignition button got stuck cause it didn't stop attempting to turn over. I got it unstuck, and it was still trying to start; luckily, cause the battery was dying, I had it hooked up to a new fresh battery ( i didn't have the tools on hand to switch out the batteries). So while it's hooked up, I waited for it to get a little charge. I hit the ignition, gave it a little bit of gas just in case, and it's just attempting to turn over and over and over. I quickly put the kickstand down, hoping it would stop with the kill switch. It's still going. I hit the hand kill switch by the ignition still going, I took the key out, and it was still going. In a panic, I disconnected the fresh battery so it wouldn't keep charging, and the battery died, thankfully. I thought it was a glitch once the battery died, and it couldn't keep turning, and I let it sit for about 10 minutes, then as soon as I got the battery reconnected, it started attempting to start again—no idea what's going on.

I think there's an issue with the Break or the Kickstand kill switch. basically one of those 2 wont let the bike start and I have no idea what to do.

Key on before start sequence:
1. Key on
2. Speedo goes full scale back to zero.
3. Fuel pump runs for short time (2 seconds).
4. All symbols light up on instruments, all symbols display on LCD.
5. All symbols go dark, LCD displays fuel state and cold temp.
6. Head light, tail light, side lights come on. Turn signals armed.
Key on start sequence
1. Start button pushed, starter immediately spins engine.
2. Engine fires after second revolution (noermally) and runs.

I know you know this last part! What we do know at this point is the lights are on, no starter spin, no fuel pump noise. Need you to tell if that other stuff is on or not. The kill switch and sidestand switch just kills the ECU. The starter should spin.


Okay, and thank you for breaking it all down, Im trying to explain it correctly haha. Um so I can get to number 6. Everything seems good, press the start button and nothing happens. All the lights are on, the blinker works, LCD is showing everything it usually does, fuel, the battery light is on briefly to signal I am running on the battery. I have the key on ignition but Im I guess at this point the starter does not spin.

So (since its relatively cheap and we just did get those nice stimmy's) I wanted to start by replacing the Starter. Again I have the Kymco People 300, 2013. I have done some googling on the starters and I get some options but nothing specifically says its for the Kymco people (which I assumed would happen) and I just dont know what a good purchase for the starter would be.

Okay so I have the Kymco people 300 2013

I have a battery newish from September.. Now I tried to start the thing after not using for a couple of months (5 to be exact). Nothing happened I kept trying it lights are on there's gas, the battery seems fine. Just to double-check maybe the battery didn't have enough power hooked it up to the car tried to start it and silence. I turned the kill switch ON (thought it was faulty) obviously it didnt start, turned it off, same thing. No noise at all. Not sure what to do now. OR if I need a new spark plug, starter or anything I'm not sure where to go. I am not a car guy I am smart enough to look at a manual and tinker but I'm no mechanic. I can do this stuff myself just dont know where to look for parts or what troubleshooting I should do, besides the basics of what I already attempted. Can anyone help me or let me know if I need to provide any more information.

Thanks :)

okay so i saw the other post for the Powersports to get parts, But I and not to sound like a complete idiot have no idea after searching where those parts would be located (I have never really worked on any mechanics other than changing the oil and tires on a car and oil on my Kymco lol)
