Bloody Italian electrics
Discussion
Right, my Gilera DNA 50 has been fine reliability wise up until this past week. First it just cut out so I pulled to the side of the road and it started straight away. Carried on and then went to get some bits for my Dads bike. Came out of he shop and it would not start. I tried a few things and started to push it home, got half way and it started.
The next day I replaced the plug, cleaned the air filter and adjusted the throttle cable. Everything was fine until I was caught in the rain we had Saturday night when it kept cutting out but as soon as I stopped it would be fine.
Today on the way to college it just cut out and wouldn't start. After a 45 minute push back to my house, I've changed the plug and still no luck. Whenever it cuts out the petrol gauge goes to nothing and the fuel light comes on, this also happens when I try to start it.
Is it an electrical problem (there is a spark) or fuel related.
Thanks, Carl
