Looking again at the 2 pics, the bottom pic I can't tell where that is in the top pic.  I see no parts that have those 2 lines  coming down the metal to a screw hole like I see in the second pic

I agree with the user who said there might be more than 1 problem....

The starter button does absolutely nothing now.  When I was trying to start it, it kept sounding weaker nd weaker so I just assumed it was the battery.  But now when I charge the battery with the trickle charger, it does eventually show that the battery is charged.  The charger has 3 lights : one that shows it's charging, one that shows it's charged, and an error light.  That is the only way I'm verifying it's charged.  I do think I took the battery down to a shop and they said the battery is still good.

I notice when I press the left handed brake , there is no longer a clicking sound which I assumed meant it's unlocking the starter.  The right hand brake does make this sound however.

I have checked the fuses visually and tightened the connections to the fuses.  Nothing.

I did add some fuel system cleaner.  I will try opening some of those parts for cleaning that were reommended.  I will try to follow all advice, except  not sucking on any tubes.  With my lwvwl of knowledge and ability to identify parts, there's too big a risk I'm gonna get something up in my mouth. 

How am I gonna clean the carb or float bowl?  Rag, brush, carb cleaners?

I don't know how to do anything with a carb or even what or where the carb is.  I saw the pics but I can't tell what I'm looking at . Did you take off the whole plastic body on urs or the seat or something? Mine looks nothing like that

First let me thank everyone who has replied. 

I wi try to answer all the questions I saw...well at least the ones I know the answer to.  I'll have to look when I get home to answer what year it is, but my guess is early 2000s. 

It was running fine b4 sitting. 

The battery seemed to die due to trying starter repeatedly.

I will try to find where the carb or "floating bowel" (sounds like what I had after last year's leftover turkey ). 

I have 2 problems. Idk if they are related or seperate.
1) starter doesn't even try to crank

2) when I kickstart it will only run of I hold throttle continuously.


The scooter wasn't parked for too too long, but I will try the sea foam and fresh gas 91.

Oh and someone asked about air filter.  I just replaced the air filter prior to trying it right before original post. 

Thanks again. I will keep updating and if anyone has any input or lives near Bakersfield CA maybe they could help

As I tried to express in the subject line: my kymco agility 125 is having issues .  It sat for multiple months, then when I tried to start it the starter sounded like it was getting weaker and weaker with each try until now nothing happens at all when I press button.  Kill switch is in correct position, key turned to on, holding brake.

So I began trying to kickstart it which isn't easy, and when I do get it to start, it will run as long as I'm giving it some throttle; but as soon as I let off the motor dies again.  This makes it unusable for transportation.  I replaced the air filter, charged the battery, checked fuses visually, and read manual multiple times. 

As my name suggests I'm inexperienced in troubleshooting machinery so more experienced users may become impatient with my post but I can't help that.  Also I am a noob to forums.  Please consider this when reading and replying.  I am however, intelligent beyond average and can learn fairly quickly; so at least theres that.

Can anyone please advise what my next actions should be in context to troubleshooting and fixing my scooter.  Thanks
