    hi guys, ever since i bought my ped (aprilia rally 50) its always been a shit starter. i have tried new plugs to no avail. in a morning or when ped been left for a few hours it takes ages to start up. and i ave no electric start so its annoying having to keep kicking. any ideas why? cheers

    clean the carb out. could be worn reeds though. could also be a slight leak from the float bowl, when it dries out it takes time for fuel to get from the tank to the carb.

    thanks for quick reply, i have cleaned carb out numerous times and ped still same,. i am going to look into the reeds though. also i noticed a very little split in my inlet manifold could that be a problem for the starting? cheers
