Do yourself a favor and do one stop shopping.  Everything you need to make your scooter fast and tuned correctly.

I bought a 2007 People a few years ago and have never been able to get it to start and run properly.  You can search my posts for more details.  I finally threw in the towel a couple of years ago. Didn't even try to work on it or ride it last year.

I decided to go after it again this summer and ordered a new carb and all the goodies to get it installed.

Since I'm sticking to 50cc, I decided to not go up to 19mm.  I have a Technigas Trek pipe on it. When it runs well, it revs up to 9200 rpm pretty easily.

Decided I'd document my install here.

I've ordered the AU262 two stroke atomizer for it and a range of main jets from 70 - 96. 

I'd like to stick with the stock airbox with the snorkel cut out if there's an easy way to seal it to the Dellorto. Chime in if you know how to do that.

I'm not sure where to start with the main jet. I see 70cc kits with various air filters running from 83 to 94 jets. I'm in Denver at 5300 feet elevation, so I need to keep that in mind. But if 83 works for a 70cc, I'll probably start a couple of sized below that, maybe an 80.

I ordered a Trail Tech TTO CHT to check head temperatures. I'm sort of a geek as far as wanting more info.

Also ordered a choke cable so I can run a pull choke.

Carb will take a few weeks to get here. More to come.

I've had my Kymco People 50 2T for over a year now and I love the scooter but am totally frustrated by the electric enricher.

I can either get the carb tuned to start and run well cold or start and run well warm our hot, but not both. I've cleaned the carb, replaced the enricher, tested it, adjusted, adjusted, adjusted. Just can't get it right. Doesn't help that in Denver, we have 40 degree temperature swings in a day.

I've read a few posts and blogs where guys have made their own manual enricher and thought I'd give it a go. There are some  new available at scooter sites, but I couldn't tell if they'd work with the Kymco and they are pretty pricey, around $30.

I'll add lots of detail as I go. Bought a choke cable from Aliexpress. $4.20 delivered. That's the total cost of the project except for a little epoxy. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32513446829.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productSubject=New-30-Bike-Push-Pull-Choke-Throttle-Cable-For-Yamaha-PW50-PW80-Y-Zinger-Kits&spm=2114.13010608.0.56.zRrD0S&#autostay

Thought I'd post this as I'm now having the same problem with my scooter after putting on a performance exhaust that I was having prior and had just never quite solved.

Issue was that when I rode for more than about 15 minutes when the weather was hot the scooter would just die on me sometimes when I stopped at a light or even die sometimes when I cut throttle to go around a corner in an intersection. Then it won't start until the scooter cools off.  Manually choking the scooter by covering the snorkel doesn't help in this situation.

I figured it was running lean and getting too hot and just thought I'd tackle the issue after I installed a performance pipe and rejetted.  So I've done that. Rejetted and also put a new auto enricher on it. It starts okay when cold. Starts easily when warm but still will die sometimes idling at an intersection and then won't start again until it cools off.

Today I had started it up after it had sat for an hour and then drove it about 3 blocks. Weather was about 75 degrees.  Sitting at a very long light, probably idled for about 2 minutes, it died. Would not start at all. Waited 5 minutes. No start. Waited 5 more. Still nothing. Waited about 15 more minutes and it started after maybe 20 or so revolutions of the starter.

I'm pretty frustrated.  I used a propane torch the other day to see if their was a vacuum leak, but wasn't sure where all to place it.  I might take a spark plug wrench with me to see if I have spark. Maybe something in the cdi fails intermittently when it's hot. 

You all have any ideas?  My wife has had it with me calling her and saying I may need a ride home.  I got her a Honda Metropolitan and that thing is so dependable.

Thinking of taking it too a shop, but wondering what they might do that I haven't done and worried how much they will charge to chase an intermittent problem.

Just a teaser for now. Should get it on later today.

This review of Tecnigas pipes and the dyno curves made me very interested in the TREK.

RacingplanetUSA was the only place I found in the states that carried it and their price is $175 plus shipping.

Found it on ebay from Germany today for $110 US plus $33 shipping so pulled the trigger.  I also saw it from an Italian dealer that would have been about $165 total.

Anyway, I'm super excited to give it a workout and report back.  Looks like it has a pretty wide power band with peak power around 8500 RPM which should be really good. 

I'm collecting stats now on my scooter (RPM, GPS speed, etc.) I'll report back once I have it installed.

More to come, but this was a test and I like it.  Using Plastidip so it can be reversed.
