For Sale / 2012 Kymco Super 8 150 Islip, NY
« on: April 12, 2015, 07:53:25 PM »
FS is my wife's 2012 Kymco Super 8 150 scooter with 2300 kilometers. Yes KM, not miles, they are all like this. Good condition. We are the second owner.

We bought it a few years ago for my wife to learn how to ride but now we are expecting and she no longer wants to ride, so I pass it on to the next!

Overall "good" condition, a few scratches from use but never dropped or crashed. Maintenance up to date, tires have lots of life. Otherwise stock.

This is a 4 stroke, street legal, 150cc single. She tops out around 65mph.

$1400 in Islip, NY. We travel often and can assist with delivery.

Technical | How To / Kymco 150 bogging down
« on: March 27, 2014, 06:05:05 PM »
Trying to figure out why my kymco 150 is bogging down. When cold the bike idles fine but any throttle input will stall motor.

Once warm eventually it will take throttle and respond. When fully warm it's almost fine but I still get a distinct off idle bog. Video attached.

So far I tested the auto choke and it functions, tested polarity of auto choke (it was backwards), and drilled out the air/fuel screw and tried adjusting it. It does not respond to adjustment which I thought is odd.

Any insight?

Super 8 150 / Idle adjustment
« on: November 15, 2013, 04:24:38 PM »
All,

On my super 8 150, is the idle adjustment (raise/lower) the same screw that controls the throttle stop? Usually there is an air screw on other carbs. All I see is the throttle adjustment slowly turning the throttle.

Thanks

Lou

Long story short... the auto choke wiring was backwards on my 2012 People 150. Now that the auto choke is working properly (pulled it off, tested it, works) when the auto choke goes "off" and the fuel circuit is leaner, the bike runs rough. Previously, when the auto choke not functioning and the fuel circuit being much richer, the bike ran great once warmed up. However I was getting full throttle bogs. Bike is stock with 2200K.

Anyway, I pulled the cap off the fuel mixture screw but there is no screw inside... just a round brass fitting with a flat side. Pic:



How do I turn this screw-type thing?

Thanks

Lou
