I have put a new CDI and nothing, Intake manifold is new Fuel tap is new CDI is new Air filter is new Maybe a soft seize?

Hello wowcoret and welcome to Modern Vespa.

I saw your thread ET2 fan cover

Hi i have an ET2 2000 that i crashed a few weeks back, thing is the fan cover shattered and is no longe usable, i went to the dealership and bought the same fan cover but not from piaggio, when the bike is running and the fan spinning it hits the cover, and makes a grinding sound so i assume is not the correct one...

I don't have any experience with an ET2 so I'm no help. I wonder if your overheating issue is related to your fan. I'm sure more experienced folks will chime in shortly.
Best of luck in getting it sorted.
