Technical | How To / People S 125 cold start issue
« on: December 23, 2023, 04:23:29 PM »
Hi everyone, new member from Minnesota here. I have a People S 125 with a cold start issue. I have completely disassembled the carb, cleaned jets and passageways and confirmed that the enricher is working as it should. My issue is that after sitting overnight the bike will only start if I give it some throttle. With no throttle it will crank forever but not fire. Give it a little throttle and it fires right off immediately. At that point I need to hold the throttle open a bit for about 10 seconds and then the bike will idle on its own. After doing this first thing in the morning, it will start as it should with just a bump of the starter and no throttle. It will idle high with the enricher and slowly come down over a minute or so as it should. It runs out fine on the road. I'm 50+ years old with lots of carb experience on cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles..... you name it. I can't figure this one out! I've checked float level, confirmed and tried playing with idle mixture settings. No change to the issue. Hoping the think tank here might be able to help steer me towards a solution!  Thank you!
