Sazzy137 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi everyone, I really hope someone out there can help me as im extreamly close to giving up on my lovely bike!!The bike just will. not. start.I have checked over everything, I have checked the spark plug, taken the carb off and apart and cleaned and put it all back together. The real confusing thing is when I try and bump it, the engine does start, but once we stop pushing or it looses momentum and the engine has to try and work on its own, it dies immediatly. It is very frustrating, I have tried a new battery, fully charged my old one, tried that and still no luck. No matter what we do with it, it just does the same thing, at a standstil will click and turn over as if it is trying to start but just isnt catching, and when bumping, just starts and cuts out the second the throttle is added. Please if there is anyone out there with any ideas, or if you need any more info just let me know!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy137 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 HI yeah it was working okay before this, it was a little difficult to start but nothing i couldnt deal with by trying to start, leaving for a few minutes and trying again, if not bumping.Its not had any work done on it recently, ive had it and working since july, it used to start first time everytime, chalked up the difficulty starting to the colder weather, e.g. taking a little longer, more attempts to get it going, but once its going and warm it runs beautifully. But now, its not even starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
