Need help with People 50 - stalling problem
« on: August 31, 2010, 12:08:00 AM »
Hi, first time post here, I've used lots of forums before so I knew to do a search but didn't find what I was looking for.  Wife has a 2 year old People 50 with about 3K KM on it.  Stalls a lot when cold (usually starts, just stalls when you give it gas) and it often cuts out when going up steep hills.  I made a restrictor plate over the air intake for colder months (we're in Portland, OR)l and that helped but it doesn't work well in the winter months.  I've tried some minor adjustments on what I think is the mixture screw but I'm not sure I'm doing the right one (isn't there an idle speed and an idle mixture screw?).  Could the fuel filter be causing this?  Air cleaner is fine.  Any other ideas?  How far out should the stock idle mixture be (I have found 2.5 turns here, is that correct?)?

I tried to download the service manual at pdftown but it said it couldn't download the file.  If someone has one they could email me, that would be great.  Send me a PM and I'll reply with my email address.

Thanks!
Biederboat

  Yep the 4t is still a bit new to us. But they all kinda work the same. Just don't know the mod potential yet!!!

 That I don't it's just the kymco cobra,It was discontinued and i believe they used it in a few other models but none confirmed. The zx I had (2003 I think) had the same cdi. Green wire comming out the bottem,unplug done!
