well I will order filter and get a new plug. I did fuel and oil - which looked a bit dirty. The battery appears new and is cranking pretty well with a charge. It's posting about 11.2 amps while cranking the starter. Still act like she wants to fire up but dies right away. Then open up the carb and clean? Should I get a new battery? it is cranking pretty well for several minutes before a noticeable drop in power.
BTW the odometer is showing 2000 miles.

Hello,
Just got a used 250 s. I have started this bike twice. Once to drive it home and another a few days ago. The last time I started her I rode it around the block a couple of times and then parked it in the front yard. When I returned I tried to start - no go. After a few cranks the battery begins to fail and then the starter just runs constantly. I pull the starter regulator and find a replacement locally. It is not a Kymco part. the mechanic at the motorcycle shop says that this part is standard. slap the voltage reg on and it now cranks and begins to start - but kills out after a couple of tries. Maybe I have two rotations through the cycle but no start. I pulled the carb - it looks clean. Electrical? carburetor? I have replaced oil and checked air filter. Its pretty dirty. I'm looking for simple and obvious. this bike was running. Do I check the carb for jet problems? Try something else? BTW it only starts to fire when I give her some gas.
