dying gilera runner

my bike has been running fine all day, until i washed it, i washed it underneath and on my stand which i am wondering could be the problem to do with water somewhere it shouldn't be or something, what it does is it runs for a few seconds fine, then dies and feels like it is dying then it goes dies goes dies pretty much all the time! its dangerous let alone worrying.


any help asap would be great

 

wat i would do is take the carb of and take the bowl out and give a god clean give a few kicks with out the carb on and the put all the carb back toghter and then see

 

Take the HT lead off the plug and check if there is any visible water in there and give it a clean out , if you can get a hair dryer in there and warm it up. Chuck it back on and turn er over see if it gets any better.

ignition is shorting out........
the flywheel connector is right next to the stand so probably got wet, so disconnect and dry and also dry ht lead.

 

Cleaned airfilter / box? water might have got in there.

 

the mechanics have got it now!

they reckon its the cdi unit but aint sure so mehh we will soon see


thanks for help anyway guys

 

thats loads of labour charges coming your way lol

 

thats the good part, my parents are paying, coz im skint and unemployed!

 

ben690442, remove your avatar and make it alot smaller!

 

shame we dont all have parents like this.....

 

they hate me believe it or not, they also say that theyr selling it soon so thats why theyr gettin it fixed,

im not expecting to have my bike for much longer

 

How long you had it

 

Wouldn't he of voided warranty installing the electrical shit he did like the ciggy lighter, lights etc? Or does that just apply for engine.

 

if a ciggy lighter has shorted out and burnt the loom then they wont pay for the damage.

it shouldnt matter if its nothing to do with that

i guarentee they will ring up and say nothing wrong with it now its dried out

 

or say your cranks snapped and theyve ordered a new 400 quid malossi one

 

it could of been wet mud on the startor motor causing it to short out or water in wireing or carb anyway i would of done it myself and got the hair dryer out lol

 

problem is theres so much crap it could be, you guys urself have said numerous solutions, so i could find myself with a bike in a million peices and no better at end of it, i have derestricted it which i think could void warranty im gona ask bout it when i call them soon

 

Dont mention nowt to them...

They'll look for a reason to void it so you'd have to pay for them to fix it.

 

but then wont i have to pay ither way? lol!
