 Welcome to the forum. I don't have your model but if new and four times not fixed demand a new one. It could be a number of simple things but the 2 year warrenty is ticking. If they didn't get it right by now, I would also look for another shop for service if available.
  Kymco makes a quality product but not all there dealers are up to the same standerds.

..yeah, what art said..

..you're wearing the starter, re-starting every time it dies...

..and possibly the clutch, as you try to keep it revved at a stop...

..if it's still "new"..get another...push for it!

..pitch a fit!..as the locals would say..

 

..oh, and yeah, Welcome to th' Forum!!..


peace

Any scooter mechanic worth their salt will have already tried this, but please ride around with your fuel cap open for a few minutes, and tell me if that fixes it.

Yep. Try the simple stuff first.

Had a Genuine Buddy 125 that we loaned out for a ride, brand new. It vapor-locked within a few miles of the shop. Unscrewed the gas cap, the ride continued issue-free.

..i agree!!..

..i would hope LJ's dealer mechanics would have done that...

..i've noticed that the cpl of scoot shops in my area have stepped up their games a bit lately...

..none of them will stock any kind of performance parts yet, but...at least they're keeping replacement parts, and i know of three mechanics i would really trust...should it ever come to that...

Have them check the vacuum hoses...
