hi all-
been having issues with my people 50 dying on me while riding. seems to happen more so with the throttle fully open and going up hills, but it will die out on flats as well. everything seems to be normal, then it will sort of 'hiccup' (lose and then regain power) and then stop completely. if i let it sit for a few seconds it will start right back up with the electric start no problem.
i don't know if it has anything to do with this, but the part that holds the kill switch is loose and rotating a bit. i took it apart and it seems that the plastic bit with the teeth that is on the handlebar has worn out some.
talked to someone at checker auto that has a highly modded scooter, and he suggested that the float in the carb may need to be cleaned.
i'm not mechanically inclined at all, so this is worrying me a lot.
any advice on a diagnosis or remedy to this issue?
