My Yamaha vity 125 is sometimes having a problem when I try to start it, It will try to turn over, it just seem like it will not ignite the engine? When it first started it was a one off, to get over it I put a bit of throttle on with the ignition button in and it started. Today it did it to me once more! this time even putting a bit of throttle on did not help, I left it for 2hrs or so and went back to try it and it started?? Can someone please help? I had a look at the air filter as a friend said this might be why, it was not, as i did try it without the filter on and it was the same.

My 50cc scooter does this occasionally when starting from cold. It seems to be an issue with the fuel from the float bowl evaporating so you have to turn the engine over a few times until it gets more fuel. Or if you turn the engine over with your hand over the air filter inlet then it will prime the engine quicker, try this and see if it works.

However if your bike has a fuel tap then this shouldnt be a problem. If it does have a fuel tap make sure it is working correctly and not blocked.

I had the same problem ? I solved it I had just put a little too much oil in it and if it fails to start again check the oil this will release the presure and should start .
