KYMCO like 200 keeps dying

Please try initialize.

I did the I initializations and it did nothing, did it twice. The one where you short out the pink wire and the one with the throttle wide open etc. nothing seems to help.
Gonna try and ride it later

Ok I’m gonna get a fuel injector, on my fuel injector there are sever numbers
12/145 06
39-024
And another number that partially rubbed off
C185N03 then it’s scratched out maybe a 0 amd then 1 but can’t tell

Just like in the vacuum tube days, all the vital identifying information is the first to disappear! I suspect the Kymco part number was on the bag or box that injector was in at the factory and all the inscriptions you see are from the guy who actually made the injector. Injectors seem like spark plugs with different reach, heat, thread diameter, etc. but there is one exact plug that goes in YOUR engine. Kymco part in the Kymco bag with the right part number is IT initially. Substitution later.

Better look at those bottom numbers:

Whisker, check out the last page of my "Two non-start events" post. The part and pictures of using the scooter system to clear the injector. That "back flush" technique could be used on your injector if its nozzle is anything like the DT. I will bet your injector is full of decomposed rubber hose stuff!

Ok everyone I’m back, now the scoot has a new fuel pump, a new fuel injector, and now it will not start at all, even with spraying starter fluid in the air intake, I’m at my wits end.
Anything that I may be missing?

I read all the posts on this and really have no positive answer to get it running and on road....but seven year old machine that has lived life just sitting with only 500 miles and probably never had good "Italian tuneup " on the road---I would first clean fuel tank and entire fuel system, by removing tank if possible, replacing any rubber parts exposed to fuel, making sure if gas cap is vented it actually is, check complete exhaust system for blockage, how about air filter and complete air in take system (bugs/mice could have built nest or used as lunch room)   Just thoughts from me.

Hey, good to hear from you again!
OK, are we talking a Kymco injector here?
Fully charged battery?
Good spark when grounding the spark plug?
Injector sprays into a can?

Yes?

Yes on all those, the spark plug is new, however I may have messed it up when I was only able to run it wide open, it was pretty black when I pulled it out but I cleaned it really good and put the ohm tester on it and it read a good 5k ohms

But you need to ground it to see it sparking to prove it receives impulse from ECU and coil.
No spark....we're not going anywhere 😊
If injector is pulsing fuel into a can..
then it is receiving signal from ECU, and pump is working....and should at least start, if we have spark, air and compression.
So, good spark?
