the reed petal is screwed to the underneath of the reed block that the carburettor is fixed to on the engine. if its the engine im thinking of its on the left side as you sit on the bike near the front.it can be a nightmare to get to though you may have to do alot of panel removal to even get at it.

check the reed petal isnt broken or cracked i think these use a motori minarelli engine and they seem to suffer from this problem like the aerox's.also the head gaskets fall apart(i take it it is a liquid cooled engine)?.

what psi do you have on compression,? put a tiny bit of petrol in plug hole and try and start , let me know what happens
