@Neil, are you doing oil and filter change every 1000 to 1500 mls? Or read I wrong?

Like 50 2T / Re: Charging system issues, bad stator?
« on: April 29, 2025, 09:42:09 AM »11.9 VDC at 4,000 rpm. The voltage at the battery actually goes up when I turn the ignition off
Would sound to me as there is a ground problem too.
ASSUMING:
-new battery and charged
-new reg/rect (the correct one?)
-"splice" changed to proper connector
-cables from stator to reg/rect checked cm per cm for a broken part (particularely where it leaves the motor bloc)
..then there is not much left as to think of a faulty stator coil.
This aftermarket stators are not too bad, I have used (not on a 50) them with good results and its not hard to change on this aircooled scoot.
Watch a few YT videos how to remove fan and stator nut safely.
Read that thread below too.

Welcome here!
This different voltage and RPM drop on your scoot to ground might indicate a faulty anchor.
But first:
-find and clean (metallicly) battery minus to ground cable point on your scoots motorbloc
-multimeter on battery plus and minus
-motor runs at 4000, VDC output at battery?
- 14 /14.5 VDC, stator healthy, fault in line
Renew the splicing before any other action with sturdy screw connectors.
No change at all?
I would simply risk a few €€ and renew the stator.
(Pls see pics) make sure your stator, pick up sensor and connector looks the same.

IMHO, main on the pic is jet stock with jet in it
-jet (red arrow) should be M5 thread and come out to be changed
-hold against with a 9mm ring spanner and take the main jet out with a sturdy flat screwdriver

« on: April 25, 2025, 06:29:32 PM »
..some progress,
abandoned the idea of straight carbs outside, would harm riders knees and touch side panels.
Wanted to have the old Carabinieri mono seat, so I had to change the panels to home made.
The change from mechanical regulator/diodebox to electronic regulator/ rectifier was more challenging for the wire loom had to be redone and stowed away in Larios innert.
Also new rear light and indicators which demanded new cablage...
@wymple
Yes, this 4 valve motors are notorious for their broken valve shafts, which causes a serious (writeoff) engine hit.
But this is the beauty in this game with oldtimers.

Downtown 300 / Re: seat cable disconnected part way from ignition to chassis
« on: April 25, 2025, 06:12:57 PM »
24' is about 60 cm and means it most probably broke at its U under the middle tunnel.
Only way to find out would be to follow the sheath all the way.

Yoni considering this scoot has 82000 kms on the clock there are basically two options.
The first as Neil suggests
and the second would be to see a mechanic shop just to loosen this oil bolt and LET do an oilchange by them. Costs most probably less (avoiding the risk of more demage) than to buy this tools.

-why not taking a topccase of any known brand, cutting out most of the upper lid, leave a structure only and keep your dog safe there?

PSG, welcome here!
Get access to your battery.
Take a multimeter, switch it on 20 VDC:
-put probes on battery poles
-as Randyo says, should be more than 13 VDC in a fully charged battery
-if around 12 -13 V, charge battery external or
-jumpstart via cables from a car s battery
Runs with jumpstart, most probably your battery is done.
Come back for Qs. or feedback.

« on: April 22, 2025, 07:53:39 PM »
AFAIK these are all M5 jets. I buy them at AMAXON as a bunch for
€ 14 ,- the set of 15 pieces. Didn't have any trouble neither at KYMCO (Kei*hin) nor at Moto Guzzi (Delorto) carburators.
Inexpensive, so at a carb service I usually drop old ones for new jets.
Different sets (lower from 30 to 70) (higher see pic) available. Overnight delivery.

General Discussion / Re: Kymco 500. 24 Volt startmotor supply. Permanent solution for starting problems.
« on: April 20, 2025, 07:03:01 PM »
Inventive solution.
Its enough to put a LiFePo4 battery parallel to your starterbattery (which making ever) and keep 12 resp. 13 VDC during the starting period. Needs not to be that big, 10-12 Ah are ample to have a peak.
There are several flaws to be expected from this 24 V supply, one could seriousely demage your electronic unit, if not wired exclusively via the starter solenoid.
