I was the proud owner of a 2009 Kymco People 150 but then it died on the road. It was a good deal...found it on Craigslist...1900 miles on the odometer, and going for $850. The owner dropped it, I think twice, and decided that at his and his wife's age, it might be better to cut their losses and sell it. His loss, my gain. When I told him I'd buy it, he dropped the price to $825 for just showing up.
Anyway...I was tooling down the road, when it slowly died. And it was a slow death. It wouldn't start...at all. Thought I killed the battery after trying to start it for so long so I turned around and started pushing it home. I tried to start it again and Voila, it did! I hopped back on and hurried home. But it wouldn't start after that...well, once.
Yesterday, I checked the fuel petcock with a vacuum tool and it worked, so gas was getting out of the tank. I checked the spark plug and it was wet and smelled like gas...so gas was getting to the plug. I cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Still no start.
This morning I pulled off the front cover to look at the CDI since I started thinking this might be electrical and not fuel related. I found the CDI and tried to unplug it to test for the ohms like the service manual said...CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO REMOVE THE FRICKIN' PLUGS FROM THE CDI?
? Holy crap!
So I farted with the CDI plugs for awhile and thought well, heck, let's see if it will start....and by George, it started. Every time. I'll try again tomorrow.
But can anyone tell me how or show me with pics how to get those plugs undone before I wreck it with pliers and other tools?
Thanks!
