Hello Charlie very pleased to see part two on the 100cc Piaggio I have a gt200 so same engine.i agree with you I would think the fuel line from the tank filter would be the main fault. Green cable tie ! Obviously not a mechanic.as for the drain plug with the oil filter still in place surely it would have fallen out when the engine was running.its only held in by o ring!I would think towards the plug being stolen? What happened to bikers looking after each other! Now you have tested the Piaggio for 15 mins for heat seize probably needs valve adjustments and carburettor clean. Good luck, looks a bit uncared for.surely the oil warning light would have warned the owner? Peter
Why would it heat seize on idle Charlie. Surely it has a fan for cooling . That drain plug must have been removed while stopped. The filter would have come out if it had been run like that and probably oil over the rear of the bike and tyre etc . That's a weird one isn't it .
It shouldn't really but many times the shielding around the engine has been broke and this leads to overheating on idle. Moving is fine. I wonder if it was removed while sitting aswell.
first of all the fly good job you found that oil bolt missing that was another 8 mins from death 2nd ebay it’s never i. the favour of the seller it’s obvious the bloke just wanted something off the bike for his bike so wrong but you get these people who try to play games and it’s very very frustrating for the sellers when you said what it is before they got it , just madness really when you sell 2nd hand should be , test it if your ok before you leave the place where you picked up then it’s sealed job done know moaning it’s fine not try and get a refund seems the world we live in mate are not like me and you ❤
Charlie the ebay buyer imo was just trying to scam a free bike out of you, in the past when I've sold something that's knackered I've done it through Gumtree as sold as seen so it's classed as buyer beware.

Yes valve adjustment i think. I'll have a good look next weekend.

How about using a long scaffolding pole about 6 feet long to twist the forks back into position,like mustie1 does in his videos
It didn't need it in the end, just a loosen of the bolts and a slight twist. Good advice though. I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks

I know right it's crazy. I actually got through to ebay on the phone aswell which is rare but they wernt helpful at all.

My guess is he changed parts over and brought it back. Saying that I've not looked into it yet so am unsure
