guys...i ahve a typhoon 50 cc, it was working absolutly fine, i stripped the panels off to repaint them, it was parked in my shed for months, when i got the plastics back, put it all together again, and it wouldnt star, even though i had not touched any electricals or the engine, just will not start, it has fuel (too much even), air, spark, the electric starter element in the carb is working, everything is fine, but just wont start, and im an engineer, so its a complete mystery to me, as i do this all the time. i must say, i stripped a Honda Xr80 at the same time, even stripped the carb and cleaned it, i was almost sure it was going to be a pain to start, but the honda started the first time i kicked it to my amazement, the piaggio...forget it, just one of those things i think, italian piece of ****!
