Super8 150 - Removing and Cleaning the Carburetor Part 1

[@jrussell4711]

Thanks a million--my 125 is dead in the water and I wanted to clean the carb in any event while solving the electrical problem.

[@allangustafsson]

Just wanted to add that the cable that is not connected to anyrhing is because it is a overflow discharge tube. When the carb is overflowing that tube releases the petrol.

thanks for vid man...im the same atm tryna learn...got same bike to but not starting atm...gonna try this soon..good idea at end btw with labeling that pic..im always losing stuff lol...any tips why wont start with switch?have changed battery...but does nothing when push button

[@elgrampy1080]

My People 150 must be ridden immediately after a cold start. Then it runs fine. If I let it warm up a little at idle, it will die when I try to ride off, and be very hard to restart. I think it’s because the electric carb cold-start circuit leans out quickly, expecting you to drive off, thereby warming the engine. If you don’t drive off immediately, the fuel-air mix is too lean because the engine isn’t hot enough. At least that’s how mine behaves.

Where can you order parts for these? Any suggestions?

[@johndeeretech10]

They’re all over ebay

[@Fjord_Driver]

Scootertronics, Scooterswapshop, VMCchineseparts etc

I have the same bike. Love the channel, very helpful. 2 questions: do you have issues with minor backfire/sputtering when decelerating after cold start up? Stop after bike warms up. Does the bike have a fuel filter that can be changed? Thanks

[@wkreps]

Kevin Kitt no backfiring issues and yes it has a fuel filter. I’ve got 12000 miles but never changed it even though manual says at 4500 miles. May have to do another video.

[@aleksanderkjrsteig28]

most likely the EGR system of the bike (should be removed). text me on Facebook "Aleksander Kjær Steig" if you want help

[@niftynovicii9088]

It this the same in kymco super 8 125 cc veraion?

[@wkreps]

Not sure. Check with a local dealer, they might be able to do a part lookup and tell you.

[@OGES-vm2fh]

What after market carburetor can I add to this bike? A nibbi?

[@wkreps]

O.G ES not really sure as I never looked into it. Remember that it (carb, exhaust, air, engine) is all interconnected and changing one part may not work out like you think. Do your research before you attempt.

I have a, 150ccSuper8 scooter It runs fine for a while then cuts out(feels like fuel related)It will idle but open the throttle and it will cut off Had to tow it home.Started and ran str9ng the next morning without gas cap on.Then went to ride it again and it cut out ( Whats up

[@wkreps]

Dan Demascio sounds like a plugged carb main jet. Find my carb cleaning videos and it will guide you right through it. Thanks for watching.

[@elgrampy1080]

My People 150 had the same problem. I drilled a small hole into the gas cap, and the problem went away!
