Agility 125 / Re: Electrical Issues After Jumping Agility 125 with Car Battery

Thanks all.  Viper, I borrowed a drip charger from a neighbor and will give that a try and report back.  If that doesn't work I'll look to the multi-meter.

Re. the fuses, the only two I'm aware of are by the battery box, and one of them was blown.

Appreciate the quick replies.

Agility 125 / Electrical Issues After Jumping Agility 125 with Car Battery
« on: April 30, 2019, 03:36:26 AM »
Having some electrical issues and trying to troubleshoot.  2011 Agility 125. 

I left the bike in the 'on' position over a weekend and found it dead on a Monday. Jumped it with a car revving its engine (which I've since learned is a real bonehead move), and think I may have screwed up my electrical pretty bad.  I've since replaced the battery and a blown fuse and can now get it to start with a jump, but once I turn it off (even after a long ride) it wont restart without a jump.  Also, when I use the turn signals, or switch from hi- to low-beams, the electric sounds all gurgly (like when a clicker gets stuck), and the turn signals are just staying lit. 

Is this possibly the relay solenoid? The starter motor? Worse? Based on the forums I've read about jumping a scooter with a running car, it seems I could've possibly torched the entire wiring system, but I'd like to try and trouble shoot it before taking it to the local dealer (not to mention no one works on Kymco's here in SF anymore since they no longer import into CA).

Thanks for your thoughts / advice.

CDI worked fine. It is substantially smaller than the original part but has a thick rubberband around it so it sits tightly in the well.

Got it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KYMCO-DC-CDI-Ignition-Box-Agility-50cc-125cc-Kymco-Taiwan-Scooter-Parts-Rev-Box-/261264356198?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1120

And it must've been something in the CDI because the scoot is running fine. Did about 10 miles on it yesterday, up and down hills, over bumps, high and low speeds, and all is in working order. 

Thanks for the assistance all. I'll certainly be back to this forum in the future.

Thanks Zombie, just got the new part in the mail today so I'll post tonight or tomorrow with the results.  Also, is it odd that the replacement CDI is smaller than the original? I made sure its the DC version but its significantly smaller...

Oh, and FYI, the connectors on the fuel float were somehow bent and disconnected so I just used some pliers to reestablish the connection and it works fine. Completely different issue.

Thanks for the input all. So I've basically taken the bike completely apart over the last two weeks. It's not a fuel issue and it's not an air issue an I believe it's almost certainly an electrical/spark issue.  We've gotten it to run, and can rev it on the stand for 5 minutes straight at high rpm, but within 5 minutes of riding it the spark just disappears and it won't run or start until I let it sit for a couple hours or jump it. I've also tried putting the CDI in the freezer which does seem to improve the rebound time. At this point I've almost convinced myself that it's the CDI that is causing it to lose spark even if I don't know why or how (heating it up causes expansion is my best bet, a la the freezer experiment.) I'm about I order a new CDI and just want to put this out there for the group in case anyone else had a good idea of what it could be. Thanks again! This is a great forum.

Agility 125 / Scooter "ran out of gas" while tank full
« on: May 20, 2014, 09:01:24 PM »
Hey all - I just got a 2007 Kymco Agility 125, with 8000 miles on it.  When I got the bike it appeared to be low on fuel. After driving it about 20 miles I went to get a fill up, but it appeared the tank was already full. Hmm, I figured the gauge was broken, or float was stuck, and just decided I would roughly track my mileage until I had a chance to fix it. Next day, after about 10 more miles, it appeared the gauge had gone deeper in the red and while driving the bike puttered out like it had just run out of gas.  So now I'm thinking it is a fuel line or carburetor issue but really don't know where to start. I've never owned a scoot before, am not the most mechanically inclined individual, and am a bit wary to start tinkering if I don't know where to start. With that said, I'd like to get to know this bike and am interested in fixing the problem myself if its doable. 

Any ideas on what my problem could be? Someone suggested maybe the petcock is switched to reserve? Does that make sense? Any good guides or manuals on here with how to tinker with this or check for easy fixes?

Thanks for the help all.
Joe
