An early morning walk...

I think that Sundays are cursed for me...I have just arrived home from a lengthy 1 mile trip, and half it was walking!!

...the bike seemed a little bit harder to start today, but I attributed that to the cold etc...and I had to keep it on choke to start the journey...half a mile later, stopped at some traffic lights, the engine died...tried to restart a few times, couldn't, so I wheeled it into the pub car park and tried starting it for the next 5 minutes...no luck...so I had to wheel it home, which was harder than I thought!...I did stop halfway through and try to start it again, but nope....

...when I got home I thought "what the hell" and tried to start it...and you've guessed it, the damn thing started...by this time though I was tired and frustrated...luckily(?) my embarassment was reserved to just a handful of people who drove passed...

I might take it out later when it gets warmer...I really need to get some miles on it...

Yeah, that happened to me too once.
After sharpishly pulling away from a set of traffic lights, it just conked out!
It wouldnt start again. Luckily though, i left it on the road side for about 3minutes, whilst i decided what to do, then tried to start it again, and it worked! Wierd. Confused

It has never happened to me since then. Smile

I think this happened cause u flooded ur carbs (mayb not in purpose),

if it happens again u can wait a bit till it clears up then itll start, or
u can take ur spark plug out and clean it then put it bak in and itll start..

Dont leave the choke out too long.

Cheers TJ...is it just a matter of time then?...does it actually clear itself up after a little while?
