I'm fixing up a Kymco Agility 50cc, mostly it just needs typical things. The belt broke, the rollers are worn out, head light burnt out, rear blinkers broken off, needs an engine/gear oil change...
I was gonna charge $100 to take care of all that - sound fair?
Also the clutch bell is as blue as a smurf - it looks just like the stock one from my 50cc, so I will just give him that if I can borrow an impact to get the nut off. (I take my own scooter to my shop to do that, but we aren't allowed to do side work there)
Everything looks like your standard GY6, but it has a different engine code.
It had been dropped and bent the passenger foot peg back INTO the cooling fan... only 1/5 of the fins were broken and i was able to get the cooling shroud mostly back together...
I haven't started it up yet, but evidently he was riding it like this - so I might have a hard time convincing him to replace those...
He SAYS it ran fine 3 weeks ago before the belt broke... so I'm leaving anything related (fuel filter, valve adjustment) out of the bill until I hear it run... lol.
Anyway... I just wanted to say i am definitely impressed with the Kymco. Everything looks less cheap and almost everything is stamped KYMCO. Things are in places that make more sense, like the fuel filter has its own little home instead of just 'hanging out' like my Chinese ones have. The CDI is tucked away nice and dry in the battery box area. What I'm assuming is the stock coil/wire is NGK and is one sealed unit. The plug boot is huge and solid - I can't imagine it would fall apart on its own like the Chinese ones do. The brake calipers look bigger than what's on my 150!
This one has about 8,000 miles on it, and I don't see one drop of oil leaking (except from the airbox tube)
And my favorite thing... I kept finding what I thought were disconnected vacuum lines that turn out to be water drains that came from several rain drip trays strategically placed around the scooter!
He said he paid $300 for it, which I think is a good deal, even being dropped. The damage isn't too terrible...
