Super 8 150 / Re: Speed run after break in
« on: June 11, 2022, 02:25:24 PM »
Hello   Geezyrideer1995

I just read your  post  : Speed run after break in. I have owned a 2021 Super 8 for about 10 months now and I am highly disappointed in the top speed as well. Why did they lie to us when they said it goes 65 ? My top is 55 is well. My kitted 50cc I owned for 14 years goes faster ! I am on here try to find out if there is a way to get it to go 65 . If you found anything please let me know. Thank you kindly.

Any help would be great . Thank you.

Yes thank you .   I just never expected to have to do this , how evil of the person to do this.
I liked a lot the dimpled texture of the stock vinyl , especially during the hot Florida months.
Anyway this caught my fancy  https://www.ebay.com/itm/351373369221?ul_noapp=true

They are sending samples to make sure color is what I think it is .

I have an 19 mm Arreche carb on my kitted 73 cc kymco cobra.  Its been like pulling teeth to actually find a manual choke to stick in it. It seems I have emailed around the word to try and find and no one replies  or if by slight chance  they do  its not helpful with anything that will tell me if it fits, comes with  everything I need, the needle  etc.  I simply want to lean over to turn it off or on . My carb is fully exposed.

Im 90% sure it was a crazy neighbor with anger issues, but have no evidence , its sad that people you thought you knew were good aren't . I decided to make a police report and then I will copy it and tape it  above my scooter.   I looked under atv as you suggested and scooters seat covers on amazon. Nothing really sticks out. Im thinking if I at all succeed at a new one , it might be in some warehouse in Asia .

The foam is ok , but you can not get it reupholstered to be the same, it has a specific design and its some kind of dimpled vinyl with variations through out the saddle. I did find that link you provided on ebay but is not the same saddle as I have . I emailed them 2 days ago , no response. 
I did call Kymco USA. Has anyone noticed they always talk on the offensive , never wanting to help to shooo  you away with a dealership phone number.  I persisted and then called some place called Chap motto, the parts guy couldn't find it , but said he sees a diagram, after 10 minutes of getting nowhere, I asked for him to please email the info so I may order, whelp never got that email. Still looking for new, barely used or some kind of identical cover to staple on.

Sorry for late reply.

Im certain the battery/fuses are good and pretty certain the cdi is fine. I could not find any youtube or advice on where to stick multimeter probes to test cdi and with my luck if I do it wrong Id ruin it , and don't have that option at the moment as its my transportation . Id say if it takes off like a rocket ship , its getting ok spark,  and that's never changed unless I messed with the air fuel screw . 

I still can't make sense of why its so loud even when its bolted up tight now.
No air leaks can be found except I guess somehow from the exhaust but I can't seem to figure it out. The idle revs high at stop light and sometimes comes down in a bit or not at all.  Another thing ( why I initially started this thread was scooter would not idle ) , but now it does but for a while it wouldn't .Recently I popped the gas lid off and that seemed to make the difference. I checked fuel flow like instructed and it showed it was working fine. Its like this scooter has Gremlins . There are no respectable scooter shops near me  and it seems everything has gone to crappy 4 stroke also.

You wrote : I am quite convinced that a new battery should actually be hooked to a battery charger before installation.

Yes I charged all of them . Before all the problems , I tried a jumper box and it turned it over real good , but then later didn't . I came to the conclusion it might have been how I put the starter gear back in .  Anyway I should test the cdi if it is getting 9,6 volts is that correct ? 

Also this wont address the hot plug , but the * MODIFIED my message *    start up and idle  issue seems to go away when its hot out ( I live in South Florida , US). So that got me thinking about pressure and with in lines and stuff. Recently as I think I mentioned it wasn't starting well at all and when someone mentioned fuel valve and to pop the gas lid off , that possibly it wasn't venting allowing the fuel to circulate.  I did that and it seemed to work.

@Scooterfan.

This is the first time I have ever heard this    , how do I check if the cdi is working properly ???  I will tell the story here. About a year a go I was washing my scoot and splashed the suds off with a bucket of water the floor plate was temporarily off and the water got down thru the the battery cover to battery area and cdi . I took it for a ride and about 2 miles away my scooter died , I had to push it home . I pulled the battery cover and saw the cdi melted. I ordered (  CDI DC Kymco 50 50cc 2 stroke, Grand Dink People Super 9 LC Top Boy Yager etc )    from parts-galore on  ebay . The seller told me this is the one I needed , im not even sure if mine is dc or the other. Anyway I put it in and it ran. I never checked the plug right away so I didn't know if it was hot. About 6 months ago I started having problems with the  starter turning the engine . I ordered a few batteries , it was weird they didn't work but were brand new . Also Im not sure if it was the batteries , lots of confusion , but one time a new battery worked and I said I not touching it and returned the others . Then early winter I have been having hard time to start and idle , basically it woudnt at all for just a seconds and then make a poof sound and die. But I recently noticed ( maybe its complete coincidence ) but I would take the gas cap off and it would start , idk  could be my imagination , but this has gone onto long.
So the battery is new and strong, terminals clean , the cdi is new didn't seem to be any problems but how would I know  ?  So plug shows hot , runs good when I ride it.

What do you think  ?

Thank you .

Yes its lean , it has been for a little while now . I cant figure it out  that is one reason why I am here.
Yes pulled a few weeks ago , jet is clear , and its large , not stock and scooter was showing gray plug for years with same size carb and jet.  Im just so confused , its not that much to these engines .  The exhaust is still leaking at the exhaust port( or its loud coming from somewhere ) , something is wrong down there . Ive been advised to redrill the exhaust port threads but am afraid to do that .  The power is still with this kitted scoot. It launches like a rocket.

I had a Tecnagas  r - next or what its called now I have a reverse made by GIANNELLI. Neither exhaust changed the leak or the plug color. it has a pod filter.

  arreche 19mm  Carb   

Actually this is more accurate  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arreche-19mm-Kymco-Carburetor-/232559475481

Sorry for late reply, just  did that today. So there are 2 lines to the carb as you said . I pulled them off drew in air like you explained and the fuel flooded out the other.  I got a propane the other day because I am so fed up with this . I was trying to use it to detect leaks , but something happened to the propane tank , it was not full or something and that was then the end of my test.  I held it around the intake connection  and the flange where the reed is and nothing changed. If I held directly at the carb opening the engine would die. I put a new plug it last week to see if that did anything different , I pulled it after riding it and it is very white.

Howdy.

No I don't  think so what is  vacuum operated fuel valve  ?    But I had a dream while sleeping about something I remembered someone saying about a valve in gas tank lid  . If I remember correctly the lids have some small simple one way valve for air and if it somehow gets blocked it can mess things up  ?

I've checked a variety of ways for air leaks , none seem apparent , except the exhaust . Though I have not pulled the carb intake to look at the reeds any time recently, guess Im gonna go an check.  The mechanic ( different answer then others ) says the exhaust leak doesn't do anything bad , he says they race these with no exhaust . Idk , I always was under the impression the exhaust we put on these have particular tuning and give our bikes extra power.
