Hey Guys
the other day I put my after market leo vince pipe on my agility, then I had my jets drilled out to proper size
just yesterday it started acting up and would not stay running its really starting to make me mad
what do I do
-
What size did you drill out the jet to?
Did you secure the manifold down tight so it doesnt leak? Check its not too tight, i did this once and split the rubber underneath causing an air leak. Scoot ran like crap till i found it.
-
I went down to my local scooter shop which is Lifecycle in kalamazoo and they drill the main out I believe 3 and the pilot 5 i could have what they did mixed up
:-\ ???

Those numbers mean nothing to me ???
3 what? 3mm? Should be 82main on a derestricted Agility, not sure if fitting a leo vince req a larger jet on a 4t ? If it was running good before hand then i would guess it down to the jetting being wrong?
-
Its best to just get new jets to the size you need. the pilet jet you dont need to touch.
just the main to a 82 any bigger you well get shoked out. and for the muffler if it dont fit tight you may need the washer that goes in there or spacer.

..you will need somewhere in the vicinity of a 95 main jet....
..that translates to .95mm
..the 3 and 5 makes no sense...
..aannnd, the thing is, a pipe doesn't greatly increase 4t performance...oem exhaust can handle the addition of a free-flow filter, which will indeed increase performance, with a few other mods....

wow 95 jet why even put one in lol......
-
..you're right, blue...why even??..
..just put the oem exhaust back on, and slap on an air filter!!
..don't waste tyme with th' dumb sh**!!
-
Definitely sounds like jetting issue, if they drilled out to 3mm or 4mm, you could just use a funnel instead... I have mine jetted at 1.05mm right now and its waay to rich.
I've looked around for a while to find bits and that can accurately drill jets but they are hard to find. Luckily my neighbor owns a company that manufactures machines specializing in exactly that, drilling super tiny and precise holes in things using electric current. Like in a tomahawk cruise missile turbine lol... he's the most badass mechanical engineer I know.

..any machining hook-up issa good one...

I only have a 80 jet in mine. and it does fine. ( dont touch whats not broken.)

That's where i become confused..
I'm at 2225ft. I should use a SMALLER jet than ANYBODY.. ::)......I mean TECHNICALLY, with the denser air altitude,etc....
-
..batman, arent you inna historically "dry" area tho???
..i think i'm like at 700' elevation here....
-
It's an historically dry "county". The Air is fine. There is something in the water tho...
-
..yeah, thats flouride...
..why we still gots teeth...

I guess it's all good. Every engine is going to be different due mostly to mechanical tolerances. They are all going to need different set ups.

Hey Guys
so i found out that when i had my original main drilled out, some clown obviously didnt know what he was doing and started drilling my pilot only to realize ohh i shouldnt have touched it there for leaving a burr in my jet pretty much ruining it, there for I highly Do not Recommend Lifecycle in kalamazoo MI for service
-
So you all fixed up and running good again now?
-
I've realized most scooter shops in MI know less than me on average about the extremely common 139qmb engine... and I'm no expert

Very few scooter mechanics around period. Most are drop out wanna bee motorcycle mechanics. I do stop by a shop in Tallihasse to say hi once in a blue moon, and the kid that works there just won't shut up about how great he is at fixing scoots. I asked if they had any BBk's in stock, and he asked what were they. When I explained he stated "There are none for Kymco... Only the Chineese bikes have bore kits because they wear out so fast."
This kid works on Kymco as a factory approved warranty repair tech. I wouldn't let him put a wheel on my skateboard.
I don't want to slam them so if you are Local, and want to get your scooter fixed don't go to any shop that has "All About Scooters" in their name.

I've yet to find a decent MI dealer/servicer of scoots, especially Kymco. Every time I've dealt with one I've left the place with a real sense of gratitude for the times I've broken crap on my scooter, because if they were the ones breaking stuff I would probably just be minus one scooter.
