    I have gilera ice it has open filter mallosi inlet, i think it still had standard jet in it i dunno.
    but i was riding it on main road full thorttle it then jus bogged down like it was out of petrol but it had a full tank :confused: so pushed back home. the electric start didnt work because i didnt have starter bendix..
    tryed chainging spark plug it was getting spark. poored petrol in head still nothing
    so might mate to apart the engine he said he change the piston rings incase they where seize but he said it was fine. but yet it still wouldnt start for some reason dunno said it could be the carbuator. the spark plug comes out kind of wet
    could it need new engine rebuild or carburator ?? thanks

    You'll need a jet in the 100's to run a open filter. and It'll never work properly on a 50. Been there and tried.
