RantMachine Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 To clarify, can you actually hear the starter motor trying to turn the engine over, or just a clicking noise? If it's the latter then it could be the solenoid, the one on my Lexmoto has a tendency to rust.Failing that, worth checking the connection between the carb and the cylinder head. The rubber on mine split on one occasion, that didn't exactly make for easy starts (or anything else, for that matter).Either problem would be more likely to happen as the cold and wet sets in, so they're probably worth a check.
