Gilera dna 50 water leak?

Hello people

I have a Gilera dna 50cc, it seems to leak water. It is coming from the inside of the engine and drips from the bottom of the cassing. Has anyone come across this before and they can give me any tips i can do to fix it.

In the begining it wasnt so bad but now it just drips constantly but the engine wont over heat untill the water is finished.

Please can someone help.

Thanks in advance

 

Water pump / water pump seals are shagged.

Get a repair kit. Can pick them up for like £15.

EDIT:

eBay link, might be able to get them cheaper elsewhere?

Will this work on my dna ???

Because it sais for a runner but they all got same type piggy engines from 97-2000 ??

so it would fit ??

 

yeah should do wait for someone to confirm it though

 

get it off beedspeed. 7.99 delivered. i just changed mine. impeller, bearings seal and o-ring.. top quality shit mann..

mine did exactly the same, was a drop or two everynow and agen but then i wer refillin coolant tank up all tha time.. ma seal wer worn down and the impeller shaft was worn aswell..

 

/\ /\ /\ 6.99 actually.. :w00t:

 

Oww cool thanks mate. Isit easy to fit because im kind of new to changing the water pump system :emb:

 

I just bought it from Beedspeed good prices on engine equipment but not so good for mods

Hopefully i will recieve by Wensday

 

yeh mann, its easy. i thought it was gonna be hard to fit aswell but it only took me bout 30min.

just make sure ur careful when knocking the new bearings in and make sure u put the seal on the right way (so take a pic on ya phone so that u can c which way it goes on)..

after u've fitted it, start pourin ya new coolant in to the MAX level on ya rad tank then let it tick over with no cap on rad tank so all ya air locks get pumped out, then u shud b reet.

piece of piss matee. easy peasy!! :w00t:

 

haha that sounds easy i asked a garage and they are telling me about 3-4 hours of labour im like :msn1: :drool:

where abouts exacly in the enigine isit mate i have never ever opend up my engine before lol :emb:

 

u dont need to open ur engine up. its on the side of ur engine. its got two tubes goin to it..

LMAO it dont take 3-4 hours at all. fukin rouging bastards.. arc:

 

Lol i know fucking Lazy BasTarDs tryin to find a person to kon anyway can i have your msn so you can explain to me ??? PM it to me ?

thanks :cheers:

 

if u not got a clue wot 2 duthen ur best off getin a gilera manual, i did my water pump on an aerox so it will be totally diffrent..

there shud be one free 2 download on internet..

 

im afraid its a bit more involved on the piaggio engine!!!

The engine cases have to be split!!!

 

The water pump on piggy engines isnt in the same place as minarelli's.

(if only they were )

i told you mehmet, the engine will need to be split, if you dont pick up that new engine ill drop that one out, and strip it, then that should reduce labour by a goood few hours.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking...... the guy at the garage told me the engine has to be split in to two... and its in the middle

he told me it was around 4 hours labour i was like :msn1: no thanks lol

So i will have a go do it my self

Does anyone know where i can download the manual to do it ??

thanks

 

dont do it yourself.

will end up in tears and a 10hr labour bill to correct it.

 

good luck.

make sure you dont get outbid though
