Starts, idles, dies
« on: March 26, 2020, 08:46:27 PM »
Howdy all:
Kymco Agility 50 owner here. Scooter has sat in the garage for a while with this awful weather we’e having. Today I tried to start her. After a while she kicked over and idled, but with any attempt to advance the throttle she died. Let her warm up first, same thing. Cold start, same thing. Visual inspection shows no obvious issues.
Feels like a carb issue, but the bike is new (2019, 100 miles on the odo), and the fuel was purchased from a reputable station. Should I just try adjusting the idle while it’s running or do I need to clean the carb?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

How long did the scooter sit without running?

Yes.  Difficult to diagnose/help without more info.

He probably got it going.
Life is a journey. Just spend some time, and enjoy the trip.
