Agility 125 / Re: Scooter Died on Me

Vacuum is created when the bike is cranking. That's why it takes a few cranks to start a bike after you drain the float bowl. It takes a little while for them to fill up.

I would check for vacuum on that line.

My spark plug cap disintegrated on me a while ago. Easy enough to check.

If you let the reservoir get empty while you were bleeding you just added more air to the system.  Like the poster above said, keep an eye on the reservoir while you bleed. It normally takes 2-3 reservoirs full to get all the bubbles out.

What he said, except I wouldn't think twice about using that as a permanent fix. In fact, I have one in my rear tire right now. Been there for over a year.

the exact same thing happened to my bike at about the 30K point. I'm not sure it's a huge problem, but if it fails again I'll prolly try the NGK. B&L, is that something you buy at the auto parts store?

Anyway, since the diaphragm is cheap I purchased a new one. Took the carb apart and noticed the upper rubber part had a tear in the outer ring portion. I will replace diaphragm and smear grease on the join surfaces and let you know if that fixes the problem.
I'll bet that's it. The torn diaphragm is not creating enough vacuum to pull the needle out of the main jet. No idea why it's intermittent though.

Thanks. I guess my battery is just shot.

Make sure you're using metric screws instead of SAE.

Agility 125 / Alternator Output
« on: March 12, 2015, 11:30:18 AM »
The battery in my A125 died yesterday. As I was messing with it I checked the alternator output. The battery reads 12.65 engine off. With the engine running and some rpm it reads over 14, like 14.25 or so. That seems a little high, but I'm not an electrical expert. What do you guys think?

Agility 125 / Re: should i pay to have my carb cleaned and adjusted?
« on: March 12, 2015, 11:26:41 AM »
I'd try to do it yourself. These things are dead simple, and there are a million carb cleaning videos on the net.

Just go to the local hardware s store and ask them to let you bring a few small bolts outside to find the right fit.

The head light doesn't work unless the engine is running. On my bike all the other lights seem to work with the key on and engine off. Brake lights, blinkers, fuel gauge, etc.  speaking of the fuel gauge, you have gas, right?

The Kymco is a little different from a typical GY6. There is a T stamped on the flywheel / rotor. You line it up with a cutout on the housing near the top. Center the T in the cutout. At that point the two small holes on the cam gear should be aligned with the edge of the head, and the big hole in the cam gear should at the top.

The other big difference in the agility 125 is the intake and exhaust are both set to 0.12mm, which I'm told is different from a typical GY6.

Agility 125 / Re: Engine Blew Up - Kinda
« on: January 06, 2015, 02:18:35 PM »
I have the engine out and halfway pulled apart. I have found all the balls, but I feel like I need to split the case to clean everything out. I'm waiting for a tool to remove the castle nut in front of the starter clutch. My original plan was to just replace the cam and the gaskets  / seals, but maybe I'll replace the oil pump too.

What is this 50 mm kit of which you speak?

Agility 125 / Engine Blew Up - Kinda
« on: January 05, 2015, 01:48:43 PM »
HI Guys,

I lost a cam bearing, which caused the cam chain to jump off the sprocket and bury itself in the tunnel. I'm in the process of taking everything apart right now. Valves and piston look good. My plan is to pull everything apart and clean out the scrap metal, then put it back together with a new cam and cross my fingers. Wish me luck.
