super 8 125 , dies on open throttle
« on: March 17, 2013, 11:36:59 AM »
Hi , i have checked so far idle screw / air filter / air flow. 2 days ago i was at the petrol station and there were like small bits of something at the top of the petrol. Is it possible that got stuck somewhere like in fuel filter ? So where is basically fuel filter on it , i would appreaciate if someone can take an image of super 8 and just mark it on paint cause im complete noob in scooters.

P.S. scooter is 4 months from new , i didnt modify anything cause im noob in all that sort of stuff like where which part is and bla bla. Im officially disappointed in kymcos , 4 months from new and already not working...

Well Kymco can't be blamed for stuff in the fuel... But dying on throttle is usually
an air leak after the carb, or possibly a clogged vent in the gas tank. Try running it
with the gas cap open...

Here's the setup on your bike, have a look under the side and see if you
can find the filter.

That vent is fine , air goes well. I have checked the flow coming from air filter and it was fine as well.
It was working yesterday and this morning i had this. The filter is too deep , i havent got specific tools to take off underseat cover. I guess ill just phone my dealer tomorrow if they can pick up the bike.

Have you altered any of the screws on the carburettor ? Sounds like a blocked air filter, but then if you have put contaminated fuel in it....
