Technical | How To / Flood Damaged Agility 16+ 200i
« on: August 13, 2022, 08:03:14 AM »
I'm a newbie here, resident in Australia:
A flood got to my near new Scooter (KYMCO Agility 16+ 200i). It was standing in floodwater over seat height for several hours. Three days after the water receded, I parked it on a steep uphill slope and hit the starter. Within a minute the engine started and blew all the water out of the exhaust. I experimented riding short distance - successfully. Took out the air filter, dried it in the sun, and blew it out with a pressure hose. Reassemble and it starts OK, but now if I attempt to accelerate or put a load on motor it stalls. I noticed waterin the oil, so I did a complete oil change. Switch off/on and it will start OK until I increase engine revs whereupon it stalls again. It will run quite happily on idle - if I hold my hand 30mm from business end of exhaust, my hand is quickly covered by an oily/watery exhaust residue - it's not until I increase revs or apply a load that it stalls.
1. Any clues?
2. I am wondering if water could have worked into the fuel tank and be the cause of the stalling?
3. Where can I get a suitable service manual?
Thanks,
TWR
