My lovely wife has never supported my relationship with my People 150. I don't know if it's jealousy or concern for my safety. She has been looking for a reason to get rid of the scoot, and she thinks she's found one. Here are the particulars:
My 2009 fully-stock People 150 has been running like a top since I replaced the CDI 2 years ago. Today I was bopping around doing errands. All was well until I tried to start the scoot for the ride home. Tried the starter - nothing, not even a click. I know the battery is good, so I try the kick starter - success! It starts immediately. However, when I apply any throttle, it boggs down in a cyclic surging. If I hold the brake and apply throttle, the bogging occurs, but at a lesser degree. For this reason, I believe it's an electrical (ignition) problem rather than a fuel problem. Any ideas out there? If I can't fix the beauty, I'm afraid my wife will win!
