Thank you everyone for your input. It is very helpful and comforting to know that there are folks out there willing to provide constructive input.

Turns out that despite my scooter VIN not being on a recall list for faulty fuel pumps, it had a faulty fuel pump! The lucky thing about that was that Kymco sent fuel pumps to all of their dealerships in anticipation of needing them. So, they had a pump on hand. I did however have an intermittent problem (post pump) that seems to have gone away. Bogging on acceleration. Of course, that still suggests a fuel air issue. If it recurrs, then back to the dealership. Anyway, been running high test after the new pump and getting about 82 MPG

Many thanks to Stig and Klaviator for your input. This is the third Kymco that I've purchased, one was a Super 8 150 for my son, many years ago, the other was a People 300 that I used. I've also had two Genuine Buddies, an Italia and a Pamplona. Added to that list was two motorcycles, a Kawasaki and a Suzuki. This is the first ride that has given me trouble. That being said, at this age and point in my life, I'm finding scooter riding much preferable and don't intend to ever get a motorcycle again. If I had the financial wherewithal, and a garage, I'd start collecting scooters and wrench on them myself. Oh well, there's always the lottery.

I'm certainly convinced of returning to the Shell premium that I was using. As for being gloved whilst handling frogs..... Don't think that one can get astral that way. Of course, if it's just the legs that you're interested in.

Thanks gents. Ethanol free was recommended by a few folks, dealer included. Can't find a national brand that sells the ethanol free. I know that the injectors aren't affected by ethanol but I've been told that the water can degrade other components. Maybe my OCD is getting in the way! Anyway, I'll have to wait until Tuesday earliest.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, dealer is closed on Monday but I certainly intend to report on Tuesday. Been using 89 octane ethanol free fuel from WaWa, tank nearly full. Oil level is fine. I realize that guesses are the best that I might get but, like a child with a broken Christmas present on December 28th; I was hoping for guesses. LOL at myself.

Was riding my scoot this morning when there occurred a couple of power drops, as if scooter was choking. The third one illuminated the check engine light. I immediately slowed down and was deciding whether I would hobble home or just stop. The light went out and I went back home. The scoot has just under 1,000 miles and was properly broken in and first service was done at 500. Any ideas?

Just picked up my brand new GT 300i! Looks like euro turn signals aren't there.... no sockets or bulbs behind lens. Very cool blue led running lights below them though. Takes away some of my disappointment at not being able to activate euro turn signals.

Seat could be more comfortable. That and my short height makes the seat even more uncomfortable at stops. Local auto upholsterer willing to recontour seat and use some different foam, thereby lowering saddle height and increasing comfort, all for about $100 USD. Thinking about it and will post if I get it done.

Great riding scoot on first impression. Got it in gold and love the color!

Will post more impressions as I ride it more.

Also, my dealer loaded the PDF service manual on my thumb drive at no charge!

Got the following reply from Kymco:

We no longer carry hard copy service manuals.  Your dealer has access to a digital copy.  You can ask your dealer if they would be willing to download the manual for you.  Some dealers do this for a nominal fee…others do not.

Thought you might like this link. Shipping remains the same for mutiple filters, making the price very reasonable.
