Difficult start up (02_05)
If there is a problem you can follow the instructions below:
1. If the engine is flooded. Follow the same sequence of operations described above.
Give full gas and use the starter button alternating five seconds of rotation with five
seconds of full gas, because the operation of opening and closing of the gas valve
causes further refilling of fuel into the cylinder. If after a few attempts it has not started,
leave the motor be for a few minutes and then repeat the preceding operation; in any
case do not persist for too long with the starter motor in the attempt to start the engine.
As the last operation, remove the spark plug while turning on the starter motor in order
to expel any excess fuel; then replace it and repeat the process from point 1.
2. If the gas runs out.After having refilled the scooter, start it, using the starter switch
«A» and keeping the gas hand grip at the minimum. If you cannot start the scooter
using the above methods then turn to an Authorised Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre.
3. If the engine overheats. Follow the same sequence of procedures, keeping the
gas slightly open. If the scooter does not start even with the above methods, turn to
an Authorised Piaggio-Gilera Dealer or Service Centre.
4. If the battery is dead; starting with an auxiliary battery.
If the battery is dead it is possible to start the engine by means of a connection to
another battery, with cables capable of accepting high current and with clamps at the
ends. If the auxiliary battery is installed in another scooter, do not allow the two scoot-
ers to touch and position them both on the centre stand (if the other scooter has one).
