Hi, looking for a carb for a people s 250 or similar, part number is 16100-LDH1-E00.
A people 250 or bet 250 would work also. The one that's on this bike has been epoxied together. Haven't had any luck looking for one locally.

Player_456 welcome here!
There is not neccessarely a need to use an OEM carb (pls see link). Maybe it helps somehow.

Well if anyone else is looking for a new carb solution, the "Racing CVK 30mm Carb" from eBay for $45 works. The TPS won't work but if just plug it in and zip tie out of the way, scoot runs fine without it.  It won't run if you leave it unplugged. Also there's no provision for the fuel heater either. But in socal it's a non-issue.

It always useful to try various clone carbs.  Some are excellent, and some are terrible.  But they're cheap enough to take a chance.  An original Kymco 30mm carb is about $500, so it's worth experimenting with clones.  Here's some useful ideas from my own experiments: The best clones have die-cast bodies.  There are some that have sand-cast bodies, and they're terrible (they leak)!  Zoom in on the photos and you should be able to see the quality of the casting.  Some Kymcos have "Kymco" brand carburetors which are average-OK.  But the identical Keihin carbs are much better.  They idle nicely and are perfectly balanced at, say, wide-open throttle.  The nice thing about Chinese technology (other than the excellent quality) is that all different makes are perfectly interchangeable - no cutting/welding/machining required.  So you'll be able to find a working carb that's either really crappy - or really excellent.  Here's a link to the original Kymco carb: https://www.azmotors.fr/PIECES_KYMCO/GAMME_SCOOTERS/vue-eclate-PEOPLE250-S-II/CARBURATEUR.html
