Answers:
could be several things ..the people that have answerdyou on this are on the right trak but a weak coil can also seem like you are flooding out do to lack of spark so i would thoughroughly go thru the carb mainly float then ceck the coil for proper fire .. thanks rd mania
make sure your sparkplug is clean . or try new one.
is the mixture right ie oil & petrol
or your float in the carb may be stuck with some s.h.i.t. so it thinks it needs more fuel
just a thought hope this helps
Too many revs when you start it. Are you fully opening the throttle when you start it?
You shouldn't. Be gentle with it.
Continous flooding can often be a sign that excess fuel is entering the carburettor float bowl. You need to check a) whether or not the float is rising and closing off the needle valve at the correct height (you'll need to consult a workshop manual for the settings, and bear in mind this could also be caused by muck around the valve seat, so try cleaning it) and b) whther the float is actually punctured, and does not rise as fuel enters the bowl, to close off the valve.
Probably because there is a little bit of grit under the Float needle, that stops the flow of Gas, or the Float is stuck..
clean the carb and change the plug, make sure the petrol and oil mixture is not to rich.
I would check the carb first.
Next - check the reed valves.
Remove the carb.
Remove the reed block.
Hold it up to the light.
If you can see light between the reeds and reed block, then change the reeds.
May be trouble with the carb as others have mentioned but more likely that the automatic fuel tap has stuck open.This is a really common problem on Gilera & Piaggio scooters.So much so that the factory supply one with the scoot to to dealers before they even put it in the showroom just in case the one it was built with doesn't work.
