1990 Cagiva Freccia C 12 R Logo
Posted on Aug 20, 2011

My cagiva freccia c12r has been stood up for about 6yrs without starting it. I've got a new battery, fresh fuel and have cleaned the carb as well as i could but i'm not a skilled mechanic. When i take out the spark plug & turn it over, there's a good spark but it won't fire up. The carb slide was stuck, freed it, i'm sure fuel is getting to the carb but from the carb to combustion chamber, i'm unsure. If i remove the air box & turn the engine, should i be able to see the fuel flowing? Any help will be very much appreciated.

SOURCE: gear box oil

800 ml on a sstandard mito - same wit supercit5y and planet and raptor presumably same for freccia. Just so ya know manuals can be found in the stickies for free or from me fo free [email protected] (MSN and email addy). Remember that unless your engine is new around 100 ml will be left in the engine after you have emptied it. so fill 700 and top up if necessary using the dipstick - too much bogs down

SOURCE: bike loses power

and although it runs fine most of the time it has cut out 3 times for no apparent reason - it just loses power and then won't re-start for a few minutes. The only likely explanation seems to be carb icing - there's nothing obviously wrong with the bike otherwise. Someone told me 2 strokes don't get carb icing but that makes no sense to me. Can anyone tell me whether these bikes are prone to carb icing and if so what I can do about it?,carb icing is maybe a factor but i doubt it.ive worked on all kinda bikes for 20 years and have rebuilt a freecia last year.freccias are fickle fings so i would suggest that u make sure the fundementals are correct first.i,e float hieght, condition of carb and jets.check coorect grade of plug and ht lead & cap.cagiva do reccomend in cold weather to add a little two stroke oil in the fuel tank so this may suggest a link to carb icing.if the above checks out ok and u still have problems then it could be time to check electrical side of things.also and i know im going on like an old fart but is your piston \ bore ok.? realy advise you change piston evry 6k miles. ,,,

SOURCE: No spark on 1998 Cagiva Canyon

did you check the primary coil? the ignition coil?if you think that these are all good,then you must replace the CDI.You cant test a CDI if this is good or not because it is a form of IC or integrated circuit,unless you have a manufacturer's diagram of it.You can check it by by detaching into its plug and get and replace an old CDI which you know is working,for example,get the CDI of the other motorcycle (if it has)the try to plug-in ,and if it fires,then thre you can surely know that the problem is on the CDI.

Bike wont start after being stood for 3 years what needs to be done to make it run again thanks bike was runnin before it went into storage help

The gasoline need to be drained out, and new put in with some seafoam gas additive to hopefully help your fuel system cleaned up.
Fresh oil and filter.
Check the plugs.
Don't be surprised if the carb doesn't need cleaned inside.
Chatge up the battery, and give it a try
