Sounds like a flat battery, see if you can give it a charge, or bump/jump from another battery.
Lights etc don't use half as much power as the starter, so the fact that they are working doesn't mean your battery is fine.
Where in N.I. were you? I'm from Warrenpoint, near Newry.
EDIT: sorry just seen you said the motor does turn over but it wont fire the engine.
Try changing the petrol, drain the carb, and have a look at the spark plug.
If you can get a can of easy-start try that before changing petrol etc. ____________________ My Bikes - - - Royal Enfield 500 with sidecar, VFR800, CBR600FX,

Sorry replied in other thread!!
Try new fuel and see if that helps! Either top up if already low or drain and refill.

[quote="snaphappyalex"]Fuel has probably gone stale and left a varnish in your carb, So invest in some redex or carb cleaner... as well as a full tank of fresh fuel and a new spark plug (Or 2 if a twin)
I can pretty much guarantee it'll start up after that =P[/quote]
I'll hold you to that one
Thanks |

As I doubt she'll update this herself...
Oil changed. Charged the battery, and it was fine (started my F650 with no issues, and that's been stood for over 18months)! No spark though. Replaced plug, and have a new coil+lead on the way.
I made her put her thumb over to try the pressure - that was amusing to watch!
Will update when the new coil arrives. ____________________ Bikes; '06 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 (for sale) - '95 BMW R1100GS |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 14 years, 30 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
