Depends which way you are looking?  When you open the throttle, the 1st adjustment mark to come across the stationary mark is the lean position, then as you continue to open the throttle, the 2nd mark is the rich position.  I usually set mine so it opens as far as possible without putting strain on the cable (so it has some slack, doesn't bottom out). It burns a little more oil, but that is a good thing IMO.  Cheers

  Thanks, exact answer I was looking for. I have it set in between the 2 markers but seems to run lean still. I was trying to lessen the oil drip when I adjusted it.

One more question: if I am looking at the adjustment arrow is the richer setting to the left or right of the 2 adjustment marks? I think I may have leaned out the ratio too much.

these oil pumps are notorious for filling case and exhaust with oil if not run on a semi regular basis I would replace exhaust with an expansion chamber exhaust which will give you better performance anyway, you'll have to tune CVT and carb to match it but not by much I would also to check to see if the oil pump is tuned correctly there is an arrow in the part of pump that turns and two has mark on the body the arrow should be between them at WOT (wide open throttle).

   Don't have any plans to replace the exhaust but thanks for letting me know that the oil pump is the issue. As stated before it was sitting for a long time and I'm sure it'll clear soon, either by me draining it or by just riding it. It runs great, very smooth acceleration and no flat spots.

There is little pointer where cable connects to oil pump.  There are three little lines on the engine case just below the pointer that you line the pointer up with.  I think the pointer should at minimum reach middle line at WOT.  You adjust the opening position where the cable is attached to the engine, just in front of the oil pump.

I like to set mine for maximum oil, but be careful pump doesn't bottom out before WOT or you can pull the cable end off the cable.  Then you will be running without oil and damage your engine.

You can also keep detailed records to see how much oil your engine is using.  Cheers

   Thanks, very helpful!

just needs some beating... theres old and unknown oil in the exhaust. it wil go away over time. just make sure the pump is calibrated  in the right position.

basically ride it like you stole it

  How do you check if the oil pump is "calibrated in the right position"?

You may have oil in the exhaust.  I have 4 Kymco 49cc 2T scoots, and 2 of them had oil in the exhaust after sitting for a long time.  Take off the exhaust, and pour out the oil, be careful, will be a mess.  Put back together, ride scooter, will be a mosquito fogger until all the oil burns out.  Cheers

  There is oil in the exhaust for sure, didn't know it could be caused from sitting. Will try draining it out. Thanks.

   I have a NHRC carbon fiber exhaust for the Kymco People 150 for sale.  Bought in late 2008, was on the scooter for about 800 miles before it was sold. No damage or scratches, a few marks from where the clamps wrapped around the exhaust. A really nice looking pipe. SOLD plus shipping to the Continental US. Located in the SF Bay Area, local pickup is also OK.

SOLD
