gio 50 no fire when hot

mark123 · 08-09-2011, 04:50 PM

I have a 50 cc Giovanni atv which has a copy of the old honda 50cc engine. It works perfect for about 20 min. and then it quits and there is no fire at the plug. If I leave it for approx. 1/2 hour it will start up again and work fine for another 20-30 min. Is there some overheat protection system built into these or what could be the problem. Sometimes it works fine for longer periods but this has been happening for over a year now. I tried a new plug and the same thing happens. I have it geared down with larger rear sprocket and smaller front one but also have the throttle limited to approx. half of normal travel. Thanks for any help.
