Hey thanks for the suggestions! I'll take my battery in to the shop and see what they say. Grab some seafoam and see what happens.

LIKE 200i / won't start after sitting for a month
« on: January 17, 2014, 05:52:09 AM »
Hello all, first time posting here and I'm a complete noob and not very mechanically inclined, but I'd like to learn. Like I said, my 2013 Kymco Like 200i sat for a little while during the coldest part of Southern California winter (not very cold at all, probably down to 45 at night). 3 weeks to be exact and no, I did not winterize it. (Stupid me.) I tried to start it, but got nothing. It didn't crank, no dash lights coming on (apart from the clock), no horn, no lights functioned. Just the sad click of the electric start. The one noise it does make is if the key is in the on position, and the Engine stop switch is off, there's this rapid clicking coming from somewhere.

I bought a battery tender and charged up the battery. Stuck it back in, still no results.

It sat for those 3 weeks with a nearly full tank of gas.

I'd like to try and get this going myself. I read that i should siphon the gas and put in a fresh gallon along with some seafoam. I also read that i should try to "clean out the carburetor". Trying to start the scoot with the help of the battery tender was another option. Any thoughts? Thanks in advanced.
