Yes indeed that was the hose that split. Honestly wasn't looking for it either, I simply took the fuel pump out and noticed it immediately and deduced that wasnt right... Lucky I guess in this case. Anyway, I'm back riding again!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

well Okhams razor was in full effect here. Had a day off so finally got around to pulling out the fuel pump to take a look (didn't want to start it previously and then walk away). Low and behold after getting it out I saw the following problem in the picture attached with the fuel line from the pump motor....

Explained it all in retrospect and why i never saw leaking fuel... It all leaked back into the tank apparently. Anyway replaced the 5/8 inch fuel line from Auto zone for 2 bucks and it started like a champ and is running great. The only reason I can ascertain for the line splitting like that was the previous owner keeping it outside in the heat with a non filled tank. The line just dried out and was cracking until it eventually gave way.

Anyway I learned a lot about my kymco in this process and thank you all for your help here. This forum is awesome.

Today's update:

Had a few minutes before work to test a couple of things:

Spark plug test - Did it as Stig noted, great spark, plug looks great
Fuel pump test - Took off hose coming off fuel pump, turned key, fuel came out steady.

Noticed on the spark plug it was dry as a bone after several start attempts. Thinking fuel injector at this point? TPS?

Wont' have time again until tomorrow, off to take the kiddo trick or treating soon. Happy Halloween all

Thanks for the suggestion on the starter. I did what you said, crossed a screwdriver between the two posts on the starter and yes, a big spark flew off. Kept it on there, kill switch off position, held in left brake and hit the starter button. No fire still. Same sound/noise. Hell of a good idea to try though. Spark plug is my next step.

Thanks Stig for the pictures and guidance. I'll take a look at the plug this week as next steps.

Hopefully this link works but here's a video of me trying to start it twice.

Thanks Stig. Flooded makes sense. No leaking though which is good. The drips only came when I opened the puke tube as noted above. And it was maybe two drips. If possible I'll try to get a video on here if I can

Well... The new battery didn't work. Tested it even to make sure it was good and it is. Starting to wonder if it's the starter given the lag in trying to turn over. After a couple of tries, the fuel smell is present too. I checked that puke tube even and a couple drops of black gunk came out but so little. Anyway, any next step suggestions at this point? I'm a visual person so if you could provide a picture that would be awesome. Appreciate the help!

i wish i could post a video or audio on here, would be easier to describe that way... looks like pictures only :(

Sounds like a car trying to turn over when its really cold out.. .slow and labored

I gotta remember that trick in the future Crossbolt, that really makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the input and no worries on the wise guy, i can usually take a good ribbing (I think i was just frustrated with the scooter in general yesterday.) LOL

Stig - checked out all those locations and no fuel noted, but obviously with it not starting currently i'm gonna want to look again for leaks in those spots once i am able to finally start it. I'm bookmarking those photos. It doesn't sound from what you are saying that fuel smell/issue is causing the non-start (or the stall i experienced at stop light). Considering i was doing a comfortable 45 mph and felt no problems with acceleration, odd noise, etc just before i got to the stop light i'm thinking electrical for the stall/non-start issue.

Brakelight comes on strong and trying both brake levers yields same result with no turn over (just the revving sound) :(. I figured start with simple answer first (Battery) and work backwards from there. The spark plug is nice and tight and last time i checked it looked good (several months ago but not that many miles ago). My father in law is in town next week so if the battery doesn't get it going i'll have him take a look too, especially with any electrical issues.

I'll report back once i get the battery and install it. Thanks again for the suggestions everyone!!

Thanks Stig for the reply.

The gas smell came after just normal driving out and about. Upon parking it in the garage i noticed a strong gas smell post driving i never smelled before in previous rides. The only thing I could think of was the gas had sat for some time in the tank over the summer when I almost never drove it.

Yes I live in a very hot climate (Phoenix) and although its garage parked it's still hot in that garage regardless.

I have never over-filled the tank, i always stop when it hits the "bar" below the neck that runs horizontally. Now that you mention it though i noticed a bit of gas around the cap but figured that was shortly after filling the tank. But the smell i noticed was before the fill. Could old gas cause that, i was worried i clogged the injectors?

I have a battery on order now to arrive end of week. The guy i bought the bike off last November of said he changed the battery early 2017. In this climate i'm not surprised, heat kills all batteries. I noticed there's a bit of a pause even trying to turn over which leads me to believe there's not enough juice to start it. Did I read you said that if the battery is too weak the EFI goes crazy? Could that cause a fuel smell?

Hi all
I am pretty new here, mostly just read the great info on here for tips. Am a bit stumped now what to do
Have a 2014 Like 200 with 6300 miles I bought used a year ago. I live in AZ so with the heat I didn't ride much this summer save for starting it once every week or so. This past week been riding daily and have noticed a strong fuel smell in garage but cannot locate any leaks on the ground or in the engine compartment. Added fresh fuel a few days ago. Yesterday on driving came to a stop sign and the bike stalled. could not restart it at all. It would try to turn it over with no success. Got it towed home and charged the battery. Voltage seems fine, voltage on the starter seems fine. The CELP did fire with 6 blinks (voltage?) So am thinking battery dead/dying. But can't explain smell. Will probably go battery but not sure where to go next. I'm not the most mechanical but have read the manual and figured I'd try here too for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Ok just did road test. For the rear wheel, its definitely  the brake. Didnt see a difference holding the break. After the ride i got it on the center stand and free spun the wheel  hand on top on calipers, i felt a vibration and heard the noise only when the pads passed over a certain point on the disc. Strange though i onky hear it after a ride when the area is hot to touch. When bike is cold no noise. Pads appear good tnough.
 So ill try the suggestion tomorrow to clean the disc. Nothing new on the front but im almost positive its the shocks making the squeak and vibrating the plastic fender.

Appreciate any further maintenance suggestions. Thanks!

Hi both. There is about 5500 miles on it,  I've done less than 100. I know the gear oil and oil was changed before I bought it, and the previous owner changed the belt and clutch. No records from him on the brakes. Haven't tried your suggestion yet on the brakes while pushing will do that tonight. I was thinking too something on the back disc. Fender on front is secured. Almost sounds like a rub on it. Will do some more tests and report back. Thanks!
