Give her a lot squirts of WD40 while you push button in and out and your see the muck and dirt dribble out WD40 that Is your best friend

More than likely the ignition module is the cause or the ignition pickup.

possible bad batteries not taking a charge dirty /loose battery terminals will do that also

Based on the number of repair question on this brand I assume they are just junk, sell it.

Error code 2 is a motor fault, normally brushes. Companies charge a call out fee to send an engineer to you or you can always send it back yourself.

I did find this... CONTACT them and ask about a manual ~ perhaps they know WHO to contact? http://www.mobility-shops.com/products/886/kymco-midi-xl--mobility-scooter-eq35ba Kymco Midi XL Mobility Scooter EQ35BA

Check all the bolts, you lost compression.

Try this link or search youtube. http://www.fixya.com/motorcycles/t26878897-oil_filter_2004_kymco_hipster_change

the sump plug will be on the bottom of the engine but theseold Honda copy (GY) engines don't use an oil filter they have a wire mesh gauze screen that sits on top of the sump plug bolt so make sure this comes out with the sump plug and is free from any dirt/debris. so drain oil clean the gauze screen then refit and refill your oil. check your oil level if its low or black and burnt this could be your over heating problem but I would also check to make sure the auto choke isn't sticking on. Best of luck hope this is of some help

Check that your fuel pump is working.

Hey Scott.. not sure of the marks.. BUT the cam lobes should be opposite of the rocker arms or buckets,,, ON TDC on the COMPRESSION STROKE<<

Hey Tammy, I hope you mean carburetor -- Motorcycle carburetors have numerous tiny passages, screws that need to be removed to access some of these tiny passages, jets that need cleaning, etc. This is NOT a job for a shade tree mechanic.. Any good motorcycle dealership SHOULD have a mechanic that can clean and set your carburetor..regardless of make!!

Sorry we have no keys for sale here. Contact the dealer for a key blank

12 volt battery should be 12-13.2 volts dc normal and 14.5-14.8 vdc at rpms if you only get 8.5 vdc then the charge system ( alternator /stator)is not working or the voltage regulator needs replacing

under the seat.

Yes a new piston and a rebore of the cylinder if that is the problem. You will need to tear it down to inspect what caused the problem.

Use a numbered drill set, measure the jet size using the drill bit set, then select a drill bit two numbered sizes larger and drill out the main jet, that should get you in the ball park. Here is a link to a numbered Drill bit set. 60 Pc Titanium Nitride Coated High Speed Steel Numbered Drill Bit Set

A clicking starter solenoid is usually caused by a discharged or defective battery. I would charge the battery and check the connections. The battery voltage should remain above 10 volts WHILE CRANKING.

Actually it looks interesting, however one reviewer said its not Chinese but Taiwanese. That is the part of China that has separated itself. As far as I am concerned the machine is still of a chinese extraction and seeing as many yamaha parts come from Taiwan. I shall have to dig deeper!

Hello P Smurf, Well... don't feel bad...!! The KIMCO drawing is TRASH (in my humble opinion). Just start the engine! - ignition switch on (powers on CDI module) - short B+ 12V to "S" lead (small terminal on solenoid switch = cranking motor (until it starts (or within reason... do not burn out starter)). Really... you can short BATTERY to the starter solenoid... as long as you have the ignition on... It SHOULD RUN (if it can). You only have the REAL two issues you need to start... Fire & fuel... (everything else is mere confusion). IGNORE IT ALL... until you get the engine started...!! I've been reading schematics, circuit drawings, operational diagrams... All of it for more than my adult life... (mere seconds away from 70) amateur radio, patent holder & highly skilled professional... (into full spectrum optics).... I pulled up the appropriate Kymco "drawing"... and while I'll say it is very pretty (colorful) it is also TOTALLY USELESS...!! (top reference below... avoid it!). Whom-so-ever (clown who posted it) that put it together didn't (still doesn't) know their posterior from 75 cents (six bits). I can't even tell if the generator & starter are one-in-the-same (which would be the first place you want to go... Useable VERSION immediately below... Quite Useless: http://www.enmoto.com/enmotoonline/downloads/Specifications/Kymco/Schaltplaene/Quannon.pdf I found another source... that has the COMPLETE information: http://binatani.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wiring-diagram-Kymco-Super8-125cc-engine.jpg http://binatani.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wiring-diagram-Kymco-Super8-125cc-engine.jpg If you don't have a spark tester just have a friend pull the HIGH-VOLTAGE wire loose enough to see the spark jump... Else find the CDI Module/Coil... & replace it (better to get a SPARK test tool...)... I'm just saying Comment me back... every tractor & tiller in the world has the same starter circuit (some just have points & coils in lieu of CDI Modules). I'll be here!!
