It starts but won't rev up properly

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
March 20, 2025

The Gilera Runner 125 does not rev up properly after starting due to a possible issue with the carburetor or a more serious engine problem. The document mentions that the engine "bogs out badly," which could indicate a fuel delivery issue, such as a clogged carburetor. Additionally, there is a large hole in the exhaust that has been temporarily covered with tinfoil, which could also affect engine performance by disrupting proper exhaust flow.
