Wow..very cool!

ya, I've always wanted a small TLB, could have used one in my business before retirement, now that I'm on a fixed income, and not chasing money I can finally afford one

That a Mahindra? Right color....

Ought to relieve the UXV snow plow!

Nope, not a Mahindra, it's  TYM,  model 474HC, 48hp, 6000 lbs.   looked at Mahindra's, too much cast and not enuf forged steel imho, TYM has good promotion now, 3.99% is less than inflation, it's like free money, and good discounts from msrp too.

I'm guessing here, but let's start at the top.  A Super 8 150 isn't a new Kymco, it might be 10 or 15 years old. It's likely carbureted, not fuel injected.  If so, it will be struggling to run on ethanol mix, or (worse), OLD ethanol mix.  Carbureted motors were designed for ordinary petrol, no ethanol.  In a pinch they'll run nicely with straight boat gas, tractor gas - or even 100LL avgas.  But no ethanol in the mix. An older Kymco on ethanol is really hard to start, and will stumble and backfire until it gets warm.  There's not a lot that can be done, possibly up-jet the pilot jet.  If it's a Kymco carburetor, there's no jets available except the stock jets, so you have to switch to a Keihin CVK carb (20 or 22mm).   You might be lucky and find a pure petrol supply near home. The good news is that once it's warmed up it will run just fine!

I bought replacement Keihin jets for my scoot..they were identical to the OEM ones (I had a Kymco branded carb..I think)

But I’d first start with a thorough carb cleaning

I am reminded of a time I was eating lunch in a convenience store parking lot, company truck, with a co-worker, we watched a small bird ? unsure of species, duke it out with a luna moth, the moth was winning the battle, but had enuf damage, it wouldn't survive

OK.  Yeah,... if you squint a bit.  Nice photo nonetheless.
