Hi there, I have an Aprilia habana custom 50cc. The bike was fine until i came to start it yesterday and it wouldnt start, i tried the kick start and checked the plug, the plug was fine so i stripped the body work off and checked all the pimbes. There is no blockage whatsoever. so i took the pimb off the carb and kicked it again and no fuel is coming through at all. I was wondering if you could tell me what you think this might be? i personally think it could be the fuel pump as all the pimbes are clear but theres nothing coming through but i'm no machanic.hope you can help

check your oil level, if it is too low the oil cut off switch will activate and stop you starting the engine.

dont think aprila has a fuel pump,i think is gravity fed.but fuel wont run unless there is a vacumm supplied by engine which sucks on a diapharm in fuel tap allowing fuel to run
