Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to drain the tank,,, also the sending unit should have a plug type connector

Well if you know it's sound ,, then check all the grounds around ,, electricity gets weird if grounds are not hooked up or are intermittent

I'd go with the new plug route myself,,,in case there's trouble down the road it's an easy replacement

I was a pariah over on mv,,,because of the Stella,,,,talk about disrespect scheesh,,,,that's why I never go there any more,,too snooty for my blood,,,and half of them don't even realize their engines are made in Taiwan and China too,,,the way Chinese scoots and motorcycles are progressing quality wise it won't be long before the vaunted Vespa brand is hit hard,,,I couldn't wait to get rid of mine and am thrilled with the Stella no matter what those guys say over on mv

As a side note and not a dig at the Vespa owners,, if you cruise the internet this is very common ,, must be close to 25-30% of total sales end this way ,, I've seen more than a few on CL for sale that " don't run",,, same symptoms,, riding with sudden shut off,, I probably wouldn't take one for free,, totally happy with my lowly Stella ,,,

Yep,, couple three things could cause this,,, valves not made correctly and were too hard ( brittle) weak valve spring and the piston touched it,,just because you spend abunch of dough doesn't mean trouble free,, and also these guys were all running at or near redline for extended times,,, after all they are only 250cc's,,, I wouldn't run mydr350 at redline for any kind of extended period,,,, im never near it,,,

It comes and goes,,,when I was a kid in buffalo when I was a young boy we had two-three years that were like a mini ice age,,,there was snow in the woods till late June ,,,been very cold and wet out here in Cali ,,,,it's almost time for you to break out the fleet and stretch their legs,,,I'll be riding the r80 the most this season I'm sure,,,

Couple of mybikes are warm blooded if it's cold they have a very sluggish start

That sounds like the deal I would take,,, just double triple check the mounting points to make sure it'll fit
