KYMCO like 200 keeps dying

[whiskers626]

Hello and good morning, yes we have spark, however when I tested for the spark gas (a lot of gas) shot out of the spark plug hole.
But yes we have spark.

Please leave spark plug out for several hours.....scoot won't start if combustion chamber is flooded with gas.
Needs to dry out in there.
And, after you've waited for it to dry out in there for several hours - remember,  you do NOT touch the throttle of a Kymco LIKE200I  when starting it!.

Another trick to get something with unknown problem started----put plug in vise, heat red with gas torch, wear gloves screw plug in----bike might start.

Another way to get rid of the fuel in a flooded engine real quick is just to swing the engine a couple of times while the spark plug has been removed. The excessive fuel will be spitted out real quick. Just leave for 3 to 5 minutes, put the spark plug back in place, and the engine will be ready to be started.
This will prevent the excessive fuel from draining into he oil sump, mixing with oil and interfering with lubrication properties of the oil.

I left the spark plug out for 7 days put it nack in and nothing, I’m scratching my head. Before the new fuel injector but after the new fuel pump it was start and run but only if throttle was wide open, also it would crank and run for a few seconds with starter fluid now it will not even start up at all, even with a little starter fluid.

OK
Recommend you go to your www.cyclepedia.com manual, search word 'troubleshooting' - click on "engine will not start...."
See what you find after following the steps....

Hello all, finally after about 2 years got it running, new fuel injector new fuel pump, started right up amd ran like a dream, let it run for about 10 mins turned it off to put the seat back on to take it for a ride and BAMN, now when I turn the key on the fuel pump runs for about 10 seconds and I hear the fuel relay click amd it runs again for about 10 seconds and it just keeps doing that over and over and over, what can I do or is there anything that you know of that would cause this,
