Hi Pedro,
I saw Your plea, they have more active members than GeN so lets hope something comes up, if that fails try Italian Gilera club, somebody has got to know.
Regards
John

Hi Pedro,
I don’t know if you have had any luck with your search for information
I have a list of old GeN members from 198-1999, there were a few with older 150-175 bikes listed, I know it’s a long shot, but if you mail me on This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you to everyone who has been so helpful, thanks to a Dutch member of the German forum I now have all the information I could ever need. In actual fact when I stripped the engine the problems became obvious, the piston was so tight in the bore that even with the rings off it needed a push to slide down the bore, an O ring had been left out of the rocker oil feed so the oil ran straight out of the rocker box again, consequently the valves were ruined. A case of built for show and not go I think. I am now fairly confident that with a little help from my friends I will have her running again as she should. I will keep you posted. Thanks once more, Pedro.

Great news Pedro, and it's one more Gilera saved for the road.
