Purchased a used Kinetic Nova, 115 CC, 400 Km's on the scooter, 2005 year, 2 big problems, when you start it, you have to hold the choke for a very long time, or it will stall, secondly, it misses at high speed, like not getting proper gas at speeds from 10Km to 50Km per hr. Carb has been dismantled and cleaned, fuel flow is fine from gas tank, possible that it cannot be fixed. Almost as if the carb main jet is not working properly.


Yet original owner claimed the scooter ran fine when it was bought, but with only 400 Km's, what happened. Kick start sometimes misses, and you almost feel that it will strip, and not work any more. Electric starter has sometimes similar experience, as it it misses the engage, and spins freely. Removing the airfilter is a problem, as the side skirt has to come off, and you have to be very very carefull not to break the tabs aff. the rear red lense has to come off, and it is also very fragile. Front shocks/spring is very soft, bottoms with any pothole. Does anyone have a similar experience with the poor idle/run performance?


Update as of April 15, 2009, the Idle/Run problem has been resolved, It was a poor electrical ground from the factory, scooter now runs fine


It is now Dec. 2014, scooter still running fine, 38, 000 Km's, just the cold start problem is still there.  Probably cannot be fixed, as it is a design issue, I just use a hair dryer to heat the carb, for 2-5 minutes, then it starts fine.  So far needed no replacement parts except 1 rear tire, so I used the spare, and change the oil every 1000 Km's. 1 new spark plug, clean the air filter, and don't forget to change the oil in the gear box
