I have a 2005 gilera dna 50cc. It starts fine but after a while cuts out and won't start again. I was told that they don't like the wet ,could this be the case

more likely a fuel hose problem.. could be a clogged filter, a pinched hose even a dirty carburetor .. it's not a tight clog it just slows the fuel enough to starve the engine then over time it drips enough fuel into the carb to allow start and run for a short while before clogging again

Hi I have stripped mi Gilera 125 sc down apart from engine and carb. Just panels and petrol tank. Why they have been painted. Now it has a good spark fuel but will not start just seems plug is flooded all the time but the spark is perfect

It sounds as though the mixture is way too rich. Is the choke stuck on or malfunctioning? With is dry spark plug but fuel in the carburetor, try turning the fuel valve and choke off and then with ignition on and holding the throttle at least 1/2 open, kick the engine over several times. If it starts under these conditions then perhaps the float(s) in the float bowel have leaked and are full of gasoline causing the fuel to flow continuously into the throat of the carb then into the engine. It probably is some sort of carb mixture setting, choke or needle valve/float problem.

Wondering if anyone can help I have a gilera 125cc and it starts and ticks over fine but once the choke comes of it starts to cut out when it's ticking over but drives fine above 3000rpm

still think you have a plugged carb passage somewhere maybe an idle air passage, you used carb cleaner and compressed air to blow this carb's jets out?

How do i fix my gilera dna 125 from over heating i turn my key and its flashing on 120 and doesnt change i havent added any anti freeze yet not sure if it will change things

if you turn the key on and the gauge goes to overheat immediately ( hasn't been running and is cold) that indicates a fault in the wiring to the temperature sender unit ( probably fell of the unit and is touching on the engine or head or frame ) it may have a coolant temperature sensor ( tells the fan when to turn on if stationary) and that may be faulty

I'm having a few problems with my Gilera the bike starts up fine and doesn't cut out or anything just stays at 1000rpm but if you go to say 6000rpm the bike bogs out and then goes back to 1000rpm

Probably a carb issue. It sounds as though the idle jet is clear but the main jet is blocked. So your bike starts and idles, but as soon as you ask for more fuel, not enough gets through the main jet and the bike bogs down. Buy a manual and a can of carb cleaner, take the carb off, remove the bowl, remove the jets and leave them soaking in carb cleaner overnight. You might need to use some fine wire to poke through the jets if they are very blocked..

Hi the easiest thing to check is the spedo drive at front wheel lift front wheel off the ground and spin wheel if you look in where the cable goes you should see it turning. If not the drive needs repair or replacing. Regards Jim...

Just fitted a new carb to my gilera runner 50cc and now it revs really high on idle

I would check a few things. First off make sure the throttle cable is adjusted correctly. Second, try opening the throttle half way and letting go you should hear the inside parts of the carb click as they seat. Third, find the idle adjuster screw turn this anti clockwise and see if the idle speed drops down. Fourth check the choke mechanism is working properly choke/cold start forces a rich mixture to the engine and increases the idle revs. it is worth checking the pilot air screw is adjusted correctly. Hope this helps.

My gilera runner 125 4 stroke trouble starting when started runs a few seconds then cuts out

That could be one of many things, could be a tight valve clearance,fuelling problem ,ignition failure.all of these can fail when the bike has just run for a bit,the primary ignition and secondary ignition coil can fail from the heat it generates and the valves tighten as they warm.up through thermal growth.and the fuel goes down sometimes faster than it can 've delivered.these hikes have a pneumatic fuel pump and the vacuum pipe that operates it falls off the inlet manifold which stops it pumping.

I have a gilera runner 125 st just had fuel pipe as it was dripping fuel and still is now but only wen running seems to be dripping faster when left to tick over help anybody ?

If it's dripping fuel fix whatever is making it dripped petcock or the fuel line. The reason it's dripping more one is running is because it's sucking the fuel from the tank to the motor fixed the leak. If you too lazy to do that and wanted temporary fix. Get a bar soap, and just smear it around wherever it's leak in and the soap. The leak. It's an old trick

You are a bit short on information to get any help - "doesn't work" also doesn't give anyone a place to start. WHAT DOESN'T WORK?
