People 50 / Kymco People 50
« on: November 15, 2008, 10:51:28 PM »
Hi all:
I just bought a used Kymco people 50 (2005) for a few hundred dollars because it is banged up, has high mileage, (a minimum of 9,000 miles) before the odometer broke and has a broken front fender, broken signal lights (both left and right), yet everything else seems to work.
Here's my questions:
1) The spark plug gets dirty quickly and it doesn't start if it's been only run a short time. What's the likely cause considering the high mileage on such a little engine?
2) Can larger Kymco engines (say a 125/150 or 200cc) engines be swapped without getting too technical?
3) What should I do for winter storage (I live in Toronto Canada) and the bike will be stored in an outdoor garage?
I'd Appreciate any pointers
