barn salvage 2007 kymco agility 50 running

[wiscootsin]

Hey y'all.  I've been messing around with the Kymco Agility mopeds I got cheap and figured I'd put an update here. This is to the one in better shape and with fewer miles on it (7300km - i think thats km anyway).

Things I did to this one:

• I took apart the CVT and cleaned it, and put it back together. It wouldn't kick when I first got it because of being dirty and sitting for however long(It had the derestricted drive boss in it and the CDI is cut).
• Cleaned the air filter.
  
• Took apart and clean the carb. Replaced the needle float.
• Checked valves. One was too tight so adjusted it. Adjusted the other one too just for movement sake.
• Took apart the front brake and cleaned it (it was stuck on).
• Took speedo cable and hub from other moped and installed on this one. (this one had a snapped cable)
• Hotwired it.
• Put one of my good batteries in it.
• Tried to start it...and again...and again...it would idle for 3 seconds one time and then not start again.
  
• Cleaned the carb
• Cleaned fuel lines and fuel filter.
  
• Tried to start it (same thing)
  
• Boiled the carb float bowl.
• Put a functional starter motor on it from a different junk moped.
• Tried to start it. (same thing)
• Checked the vacuum lines. There was a leak by the T junction. Mostly just fiddled with it a bit and it sealed for now.
• Tried to start it. (was clearly trying to idle better)
  
  
• Then I put my hand over the airbox, blocking it entirely, and it started. Messed around a bit with letting in a certain amount of air and got it started and idling. Throttled it, set the idle speed. Let it run for 10 minutes.
• Changed the oil.
  
  
• Seems to be working!

I need to figure out whether the front headlight and taillight running bulbs are bad (lo beam, high beam/active brake work) or if it's some wiring issue. I have a new ignition/keyset on the way and I'll see if that works out (it's just a generic gy6 one, hoping it functions even if it isn't a correct aesthetic fit).

Yeah planning to just get it working well and get it to a friend if he can get it registered (no title). Otherwise just sell it as-is. Just something fun to learn and mess around with and maybe make a few bucks.

I got the other one running this week too. Too much snow to really test either of them, but they appear to be fully operational.

It was probably a "waste of time," but, whatever. lol. Hopefully I can move them on soon once things start to thaw out. Registering and titling on a vehicle with only a bill of sale appears to be simpler (and less expensive) in Minnesota, so I'm going to try to give it to some family there. I actually have the name and address of the original title bearer (somehow google was right), so that may help too.

You got nothing in them for money .
So what ever you flip them for is a plus .
One of your buddies will probably need for them self or their kids .
A campground scoot /pit bike that they can beat on.

I picked the right yooper friend to sell this to.

He put new leather on the seat and painted it 90s batman themed.
