Having had stroke 10-15 years ago---Mayo Hosp---I know what pain in the butt they can be,, but I survived.  Took me 6 months to put pants on alone, shoes longer.  Now 83 in a few days maybe 98% ok---balance may be problem----first time I tried 2 wheels, dressed up in my Aerostich jacket/pants, motorcycle helmet, gloves, boots  ....and then my bicycle to see if I could  stay upright...I did.   Riding scooter, Honda Silverwing the hardest skill to re-learn----up hill starts turning right/feet up.  Did it.   Past years  traveling(XTown 300i)TN  woods noticed I did not have the real directional control I wanted----I am over 1.4 million mile rider---think you need real precise control to stay alive---therefore, real motorcycle with foot rest, tank to grip, ability to stand on foot pegs good----no goofy handlebars or cruiser foot pegs----My last motorcycle Honda CB300F, worked well for control.  Looking at new bike scooters right now, but dealers seem to be adding too many extra costs to purchase price-----Many years after stroke, my weight is normal/blood pressure normal and...I am still alive!   No Kymco dealers within 100 miles.

You've got the right idea. Mental attitude is 90% of staying alive. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and had a bone marrow transplant 15 months ago.
Life is good. So, I bought a few scooters to tinker around with
I'm new to the scooter scene as a 63 year old man.
My mind however is still a teenager and wants to ride a Hayabusa, but my body and reflexes know better than to even try.

2013 Kymco Like 50 2T.
Got it from a guy who had it sitting for years in his garage because the battery was dead and he lost his keys, or so the story goes. 
Now I have the task of picking locks and replacing the ignition switch and battery to see if it even runs.

My first question is this - is there any online sources I can download a service manual for free?
I found a paper one on eBay for $41, but before I plunge into that, I want to see what's out there on the web.

Second question is regarding ignition switch. The switch I pulled from the bike has 4 wires going to a plastic connector, plus a single black w/ white stripe wire with a small bullet terminal on the end. The ones I've seen as cheap replacements have the correct 28mm mounting and 4 wire connector but they don't have the extra black/white wire. Do I need that extra wire or can I make it work with the single 4 wire connector setup?

Thanks for your time and happy scootin'!
