People 50 / Full throttle - LESS power
« on: October 25, 2017, 05:17:08 PM »
Hey all -

For some reason, when I take off from a complete stop, at full throttle, the scooter takes off fast!  While still at full throttle, and reaching about 20 MPH, it completely bogs down and struggles to keep going.  If I let off the throttle a little bit, it picks back up again.  ??  It still doesn't go that fast (I'm trying to learn how to derestrict it), but the fill throttle powerlessness is interesting to me.

A mechanic friend of mine said that the little valve, housing the fuel filter, appears to be acting on a vacuum line from the manifold.  At wide open throttle, when there is no vacuum in the manifold anymore, it would cause the fuel flow to slow into the carburetor.  Is this some kind of fuel flow safety switch/fuel restriction?

Thanks!

People 50 / De-Restricting my 2009 People 50 - Exhaust Question
« on: October 21, 2017, 01:16:09 AM »
Hey all -

I read a couple threads about doing this, and it was suggested that the exhaust pipe on a 2002 People 50 would be less restrictive.  Is it correct it may not have a catalytic converter in it?  I found another scooter I can buy for parts, and it's a 2003.  I wonder if that would also work to put on my 2009 for a less restrictive exhaust.  Anyone know if the 2003 exhaust pipe is less restrictive than the 2009?

Thanks!

People 50 / Need Parts - where can I get them fast?!
« on: September 13, 2017, 04:54:56 PM »
Hi all -

I'm new to the community.  Just picked up my first 2009 People 50.  I'm rebuilding it from a nice box pf parts. :)  I had to order some parts from a dealer, and it took 2.5 weeks to get them!  :) 

I am in need of a cap for the end of the coil wire, or a new coil wire.  Anyone know if I can buy any good aftermarket parts locally in any stores?
