Gilera runner 50cc wont start
Don't do the gas down the spark plug thing. It's a bad idea. Do the following >
Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).
Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side or bottom of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock NGK spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.
Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road.
Please rate this solution. Thanks!
I have a Gilera DNA
Try a new spark plug just to rule that out.
Sometimes they (spark plugs) just die without warning.
Then check the plug lead, to rule that out too.
Work back from there, good luck.
Hey there i have a gilera runner 2003 model! my batter has been working fine up until yesterday! i had my bike turned on and then turned it off again and then i turned it back on and i saw no lights t
acid overflow is caused by overheating, so there is a short someplace,disconnect the battery and neutralize the leaked acid with baking soda dissolved in water and remove the battery. (the short can even be internal, in the battery) Replace the battery with a new one,connecting a voltmeter between the negative terminal and its cable. (An ampmeter of t least 10 amps capacity would be better.) With the key off, the meter should read zero. a reading indicates a short to ground somewhere. Trace all wires, look carefully where wires go through holes or past edges for bare or burned wires. When the meter reads zero, you can turn on the ignition and gingerly touch the negative cable to the negative terminal and watch for a spark, it should be small, assuming the ignition is battery operated, not by magneto. Turn on the lights should cause a slightly larger spark. A big spark and dimming of the lights means there is still a big short you have to find. Otherwise, turn off the key , hook up the negative cable, firmly but easy to disconnect, and try the system.
Where does oil go on this bike
On the left hand side of the engine as you sit on the bike there is a small screwed in dipstick it goes in there.5w30 is what oil you need and to check it don't screw the stick in just push it down till it stops then pull it out and check it.
My vespa gt 125 sometimes cuts out when at
could be a loose (or cracked) spark-plug connector
better install a new one
- as it is quite short sometimes during installation this spark-plug cable assembly gets damaged...!

Gilera runner indicator/horn problem
Sounds like the solaniod is duff ( thats the thing that makes the clicking sound ) or it could be a short circuit which would explain the weak horn
