In the rare case of flooding the engine, to facilitate start-up, it is possible to try to put
the scooter into action with the gas hand grip partially or completely open. It is however
necessary, once the engine is started, to take your vehicle to an Authorised Piaggio-
Gilera Service Centre to determine the causes and to restore proper functioning of
your vehicle.
