Super 9 / Re: Lc super 9 makes clicking sound when trying to start(electric)

« on: August 27, 2013, 10:23:32 AM »

If the coil is open circuit or has a shorted turn - no noise, replace relay.

If the internal relay contacts are burnt and dirty from arcing there'll be a single click and no other noise - so clean contacts.

If the contacts have welded themselves together - starter will continue to whirr with ignition switched off - replace relay.

If the battery cannot provide enough current without dropping volts enough for the relay to drop out (rinse, repeat, 'rapid clicking' or 'buzz') then either shorted cells (most likely) or a narrow value window of internal high resistance. In the latter case it's probable that a battery terminal will get hot. Replace battery.

Super 9 / Super 9 - Some help with oil pump connections please.

« on: August 26, 2013, 09:14:18 PM »

The next problem I've got is that the 2 stroke oil pump has been disconnected.

The things I've got to deal with are.....

1) The oil pump cable from the throttle is present and working but the bracket that holds the cable is missing - I guess i'll have to fab one of these up out of thin plate.

2) I've got to check the operation of the oil pump to ensure enough oil is passed - How do I do this ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

3) The oil pump isn't connected to the Carb - where does it connect to - infact.... Does anyone have a photo showing the carb connections please

Thanks in advance

Super 9 / Re: Super 9 - Transmission Cover GASKET Missing

« on: August 26, 2013, 09:09:31 PM »

Ok - I've managed to sort it

The problem was more that onefold

When I removed the transmission cover the kick start mechanism was loose as well as the gasket being missing

When I fixed the kickstart mechanism the cover sat much better against the casing.

I took about 2 mill off the length of the cover locating pegs and the cover fitted nice and flush

Thanks once again for all you help

(Next problem is a non-connected oil pump - I'll start this in another thread)

Does it rain often where you live? If not, then you might not need the gasket.

I was assuming that it needed the rubber gasket to get the clearances right for the kick start etc??? or am I being overly concerned about no big deal???

Make one. You'll need a cornflake box and a small toffee hammer. You'll find a guide on YouTube

Will this be enough on the Super 9.....I thought that it needed a rubber gasket....or is that not necessary?

I'm struggling to find a gasket - anyone had any success with an alternative product, eg rubber strips or "instant gasket" ?

Wrong Air/Fuel Mix maybe?

I wasn't too sure about using the kick start without it??

Super 9 / Super 9 - Transmission Cover GASKET Missing

« on: August 19, 2013, 10:17:40 PM »

Hi

I've just bought a 2009 50cc Super 9 AC.....

The transmission cover gasket is missing.....and I'm struggling to find a replacement.....any ideas where I can get one (i'm in the UK)...or even if its necessary - would some "instant gasket" do the same job?

Thanks in advance

Agility 50 / Re: Starting problems (Kick and Electric) - Possibly due to the weather

« on: December 30, 2012, 12:11:44 PM »

.

On a similar scooter that i once owned (not a Kymco on this occasion) the starter bendix used to get easily funked up, any grease that was on it used to attract all of the belt shavings that were loose under the transmission cover. It caused a problem that is known as "sticky bendix" where the bendix does it job but then gets stuck in the out position so then next time you try to start it it just whines and grinds but doesn't actually do too much else.

The cure is to remove the bendix drive (which on most scooters usually just lifts out when you can get to it under the transmission cover) and blast it clean with WD40 or similar, work the bendix when the WD40 is on it to loosen it all up, and then let it dry completely.

Reassembly is easy and usually I'd not apply any oil as it will get all stuck up again

Hope this helps

Just a bit more info.....

I decided that the carb still wasn't right...... after i couldn't understand why it cut out when I took it off the stand.

Also the idle wasn't perfect...and I couldn't accept that in my mind as being correct either.

So, I removed the carb again to investigate....thinking that the idle jet was perhaps blocked slightly..... here's what I found....

I removed the carb from the scoot and turned it upside down and removed the carb fuel bowl, removed the idle jet and took a look through it up to the light in my garage....it looked slightly blocked.....I'd previously bought one of these..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carb-Jet-Cleaner-Tool-Kit-Car-Boat-Motorbike-Scooter-ATV-Carburetor-Cleaning-/160943325772?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2578f8424c .....but hadn't used it on this particular carb.....so i gave it a quick go and the jet cleaned out nice and easily.

On refitting the carb fuel bowl I noticed that the gasket was a bit dis-formed so I trimmed it a touch to ensure a better seal.

I also refitted the manifold (including a spot of copper grease on the joints between the inner face of the manifold and the outer of the carb) and ensured that the clamps were nice and tight.

On starting the scooter up I noticed that it seemed to sound better (the idle rpm was higher - perhaps because the idle jet was cleaned out properly now)

Also, the adjustments I started to make to the air/fuel mix screw were now also translating into the more expected results that I previously couldn't achieve.

So.....it looks like I'm almost there......I've left it to cool for a couple of hours or so and will start it again later this evening to see how it reacts from cold

Vitality 50 / Re: Engine at Idle shuts off/stalls. HELP!

« on: December 21, 2012, 12:25:05 PM »

Idle jet blocked??? - have you cleaned it?

The problem is that if you've got an idle jet that is really gunked up from standing for a good period of time, no amount of carb cleaner or compressed air or bits of copper wire will do the job.

What I've found is that with the tool that i bought it cleans the jets out pretty much straight away (a bit of soaking in carb cleaner always helps) and the design of the wires in the tool actually help to clean the bore of the jet without damage.

Here's the link - it may be of use to you... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160943325772?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649
