Technical | How To / Re: People 50 2t lacks power
« on: September 25, 2015, 01:11:50 AM »
I have a hard time believing its the CDI box. In my experience, with a 2002 People 50 2T, between the variator pin and CDI box, the variator pin yielded far more speed gains than the CDI. I went from 26 mph to 45 mph (indicated) just from the variator pin, and the derestricted CDI box got me to 48-50. Something else is wrong.

Chaz35, what kind of speed do you see at WOT? And how long does it take you to get there? Thanks.

...except there is no such thread as an M3.9. The picture should say M4 x 0.7 -- but you can be sure that if the jet you are contemplating buying has the 5mm and 7mm dimensions correct, the M4 thread will be a given.

The attached photo is the jet the 2T People carb needs. Many places sell them, including the jetsrus business in the watermark, just make sure you get the correct dimensions.

Thanks for the message. I did measure the belt - it comes out right at 16mm width. I have a new Kymco OEM belt on its way!

Check your plug, you may be running lean. I had a very similar experience.

4 weeks ago, I bought a 2002 People 50 with 1500 km's on the clock. It was still restricted. I derestricted it - variator pin, CDI box with no rev limiter, and the aribox had no filter in it.

My scooter ran absolutely perfectly until I did the derestriction thing this past week. After that, with the new found top end speed (went from 26 mph to 38 mph), it still ran excellently, but I proceeded to do a 10 minute trip at 38 mph, which is essentially wide open throttle the whole time.

There were no indications anything was wrong - until I tried to start it up later. It was just as you described: it barely got started, idled roughly, and the slightest throttle would kill the engine. I eventually got it running smoothly again, and psychologically I blew the episode off as a fluke. I then proceeded to do another 10 minute WOT run, and the entire episode repeated. At that point I suspected the air/fuel mixture, and pulled the plug. Mine was bone white.

I pulled the carb and pulled the main jet, and mine is a #78. I now have a kit on order. You might want to check your plug too.

Thanks for the help. It seems that since the variator is now allowed to get closer, it does so - and somewhat in the middle of the time taken during acceleration. Not having that ability before, plus with a somewhat worn belt, it seems like its entering into hitherto uncharted territory what with using up the outer portions of the front pulley it never had access to.

Agility 50 / Deristricted Variator Pin - Now Slower Accel
« on: July 10, 2015, 07:01:36 PM »
I'm shocked how much the restricted variator pin (with boss) was limiting me - it maxed out at 26 mph. I received the derestricted pin, installed it, and now I get to ~42mph. HOWEVER, with no other changes except this pin, the acceleration is worse. Bad enough to bother me. What would you recommend, lighter rollers?

People 50 / US Version of People 50- Speedometer
« on: July 08, 2015, 11:56:50 AM »
Does the speedometer for US versions have kmh as dominant, with the mph scale tucked underneath, in a smaller font, and not illuminated at night?

LOL Just wondering - mine is.

No you cannot cut the people 50 cdi. If it has a green wire looped to itself just unplug the green. If the cdi unit is brown and has no green wire you have to upgrade to the newer cdi unit. No mod will de restrict it.

That's what I was afraid of... there is no external loop of green wire (with connector) on mine, and at this point, I have hacked 4 or 5 *big* cuts into the CDI.

Miraculously, it still runs just fine! The down side is that the rev limiter is still firmly in place.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen several threads plus the youtube video I linked to. To be honest, I am too afraid to cut any deeper - I think I have already cut quite deeply.

Yes, I have a variator pin (with no restriction boss) on order, and I am going to remove my exhaust to see if it is restricted as well. But I can *definitely* feel the rev limiter kick in, which is why I tackled the CDI thing first.

Maybe I'm being unclear:

Can anyone confirm that the hacksaw-method for derestricting the CDI on a 2002 (February) People 50 2T *is the appropriate method*?

Thanks.

People 50 / 2002 People 50 2T CDI Mod
« on: July 05, 2015, 12:46:21 AM »
My People 50 2T has a build tag that says February 2002. It tops out at 26mph indicated, and I would like it to go faster. I *could have sworn* the following mod was applicable to my scooter:



...but apparently it is not. I have performed the CDI cutting mod, I am every bit as deep (frankly deeper) than shown in the video, but I *see no wire* nor is my bike any bit faster.

What gives?
