PX200 Disc starting problems

[skootaloon]

Hi all,

I have a 2002 Vespa PX 200 Disc. Lately it has become very difficult to start from cold and gives the symptoms of flooding. I have taken the carb to bits, blown the jets etc through with an airline, cleaned the filter etc etc. I couldn't find anything wrong so I am sking for help on this one. It does start eventually but seems very "boggy" like it is getting far too much fuel through. Just one pointer, it has been stood for a few months if that helps anyone with any ideas.

Any help would be most welcome.

Cheers

Simon

could possibly of blown your main oil seal , is it smokey , check your gear box oil for petrol,

Is it sparking ok, Simon? Or, maybe the choke is sticking? Is it starting ok when it's warm?
