Kymco mongoose 250 won't start

My wife was riding our 2006 kymco mongoose 250 for a couple of hours, we pulled over to rest, she turned the ignition off. After that it would not start, no power on ignition, no lights no nothing, battery is fully charged, I have no idea what could make it die just by turning it off.

Remove battery terminals and clean both posts and terminals
with sandpaper until you see shiny metal. The black coating is lead sulphate which has a high resistance to current flow both into and out of the battery. Have a load test done on the battery also as a cell may have dies while you were riding and the bike was running on the alternator.

SOURCE: Daytona 675 won't start

Hi,

Two possibilities:

  • starting relay. This could actually be bypassed/jumped to determine if the starter motor will turn:
  • starter motor. most likely carbon brush.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: battery keeps loosing charge- kymco cruiser 125, 2005

I had this exact same problem on a hipster 125, it was a faulty regulator module ( mounted under the seat) I also found a short circuit (somewhere) in the wiring loom between the regulator output and the chassis (probably what killed the regulator in the first place!) I cut and replaced the entire wire to save removing most of the loom and after testing reg to ensure it was dead i fitted a new one (about £60) bike charges and runs like a dream now even with fully lights approx 80% of the time. good luck

SOURCE: Harley won't start ... starter not working

That clicking sound you are hearing may be a circuit breaker tripping indicating a short circuit somewhere. I think the starter circuit is powered by the ignition circuit. If you have a short circuit in your ignition system the breaker will trip killing power to your ignition, thus the engine dying, and preventing power for the starter circuit preventing the bike from being restarted.

On your bike, I believe there is a chrome coil cover over the coil on the left side of the bike. Check and see if this cover has come loose. I've seen them come loose and fall down on the coil connector on top of the coil shorting it out. If that ain't it, just keep looking, there's a short somewhere. Good Luck

SOURCE: Kymco Vitality 2t 50 won't turn over. When I

Take your spark plug out of the cylinder, reconnect it to the ht lead and place it on to your frame if you see a spark then your coil is fine, try a new spark plug, if there is no spark get a new coil and plug.

Remember there is a 2t and a 4t version of the kymco vitality and the spark plugs are different.

SOURCE: I have a kymco agility 50 and it won't start. It has no power what so ever, the starter won't turn over and the break light won't light when I pull the break. I checked the kill switch.

Check with a multi tester for voltage coming through the ignition switch lead wires + to switch wire - to ground you shoul get 12volt or higher, with the switch off you should have one live (feed from battery ), on you should have 2 or 3 in and out feed (possibly 2 out one for ignition one for light curuit), or disconnect the switch and check for continuity (12v battery wire and a bulb if you dont have a multi tester between each pin on the switch plug when turned on you should get a curcuit when on.

How to tighten chain on a kymco atv

Hi Matt only help I can give is look along top & bottom of chain for a tensioner it will be a round rubber wheel. If you cant find a tensioner it will more than likely you need to cut the chain down. If your not sure how to let me know & i'll let you know how. Also DO NOT USE IT while chain is loose as if you do & chain comes off you can crack engine case which then means a new engine

Will not start 2007 Kymco People 250

Although these answers are correct many are not probably. Valves are not going to go out of adjustment during the off season etc. You need to simplify it. You need gas, fire (spark) and air for a motor to run. Usually it will be the fact that the carb was not ran dry at the end of the season and fuel stabilizer was not used so the carb is dirty. You can pull you plug and see if it is wet with gas or try some engine starting fluid sprayed in the carb. Dry plug means no gas, no run with starting fluid mean no spark. Make sure fuel is on and the obvious has already been done. 90% chance dirty carb.
