My boss recently went out and bought one of these Piaggio scooters.
I'm a car mechanic but I figured i'd give getting this thing running again a shot.
He bought the bike in NJ and rode it home to Pittsburgh PA
After he got home, the bike would no longer run.
I'm not 100% sure on the year but I can say it is FUEL INJECTED not carb'd. Says 500IE or EI on the body.
With that being said, after checking for spark/air/fuel, it seems there is no gas getting to the injector. So, like I have found to be the problem with many cars I swapped out the fuel pump today (pump unit only) and there is still nothing at the injector no matter how long i crank it or anything.
Bike had 320 miles on it before the purchase, and he's really not trying to drive back to NJ with it to have it looked at when he just got it home.
Spark Plugs were also just replaced for shits and gigs because he didn't want me to just tear it apart at first.
From my tests all the fuses and relays seem to be in proper working order. but im not sure if i may have missed one or am looking at the wrong thing.
Any help is appreciated!
