Difficult start up (02_08)
In case of difficulties, proceed as follows:
1. In case of flooded engine. Perform the same operations listed above. Accelerate
thoroughly and press the starter button «E» alternating approx. 5 seconds of rotation
and 5 seconds of stop keeping the accelerator control to maximum, since the opening
and closing causes a further fuel injection in the cylinder. After a few unsuccessful
attempts, let the engine stand for a few minutes and then repeat the above operations.
In any case, do not insist too much on the motor. As last operation, remove the spark
plug and actuate the engine start-up to eject the excess of fuel; then, replace the spark
plug and repeat the operations of 1.
2. If you run out of fuel. After refuelling the vehicle, actuate the start-.up button «E»
and keep the accelerator control to minimum to give vacuum to the fuel pump.
3. In case of hot engine. Perform the same operations keeping the gas control slightly
open.
However, once the engine has been started, it will be necessary to turn to an Au-
thorized Piaggio Service Centre in order to check the causes and restore the correct
function.
A new start-up system interlocked with an automatic valve lifter has allowed improving
the working conditions of the electric starter motor.
