Hello All,
I am posting on behalf of my fiancee. He has a Kymco Like 50. It suddenly decided that it did not want to start the other day. We live in Virginia and at the moment it has been very cold. At first he was having problems starting in the cold and would bring it indoors to his job to warm it up and that seemed to do the trick. Then one day it refused to start completely. We have replaced the battery and are looking at draining all the fluids and starting from scratch there. He has a carbuerator and its a little two stroke engine. He lost the button start about 10 months ago and has been using kick start. The kick start now has completely refused to start working but you can still kick it down and get a little 2 second start noise. Basically kick, little noise, then nothing.
I am wondering if anyone has any idea what could be wrong with it. The spark plug is coppery and he has been cleaning the air filter regularly per the dealer's instructions. He has also been adding oil to the engine about every third fill up per the dealer's instruction. Thanks!
