Daelim Daystar 125 - weird problem

[leethesign]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone can give a newbie some advice.

I've got a Daelim Daystar 125 (I like it a lot) and I live in Spain where it tends to get a bit warm at this time of year.

Now.......what happenjs is....when I leave the bike standing in the sun for an hour or so, not only does the seat get too hot for my bum, but when I start the bike it runs for about 8-12 seconds then dies from fuel starvation. I turn the ignition off then on again and I can hear the fuel pump filling up and so I start it up again and the
same thing happens. This goes on until I get fed up and leave it overnight. In the morning it runs perfectly (until it gets in the sun again).

It's been back to the local mending place twice and each time they haven't been able to fix it because whenever they park it out in the sun it runs perfectly well so they can't seem to replicate the fault. I've now picked it up from them, but I'm wary of riding it today as the temperature is already up in the 20's and it's only 9.45.

My orginal though was an air lock, but taking the filler cap off doesn't help.

H...E...L....P..

Any ideas would be most welcome - thanks for reading this

Maybe that huge air filter is heating the air up too much so giving you starting problems?
you could try a k and n style bolt on filter and see if it cures it.
