Hi All
just thought i'd let you know about my problems i had iwth my scoot.
It was not running properly taking ages to start and kick start would not work at all and 2 weeks ago sunday i decided to give my wife a morning off from her cleaning job so set off on my scoot and got there no probs. I did the cleaning and was finished by 8:15.
I then went o start my scoot and it wouldn't go
So i had to push the scoot home which took half an hour and will teach me to live at the end of an estate which you have to climb a hill to get to my road.
I thought the prob was the battery so fully charged it for 2 days as i was off work and didn't need it.
This didn't work at all so thought bugger it if its not the battery i don't want to open it up and make it worse so i rang the bike place near me to get them to look at it. They came and collected it the following saturday and rand me on the monday morning to give me the diagnosis.
Starter motor kept jamming which was draining the battery, Ignition coil was not sparking properly so it wouldn't start and also the cold start(auto-choke) wasn't working either.
I nearly cried when i heard all this and then i had to try and get the parts as they couldn't get them from any of their suppliers.
i saw an ad on ebay from a member called gilltwig for baotian and xinling spares and thought i'll send him a question he responded saying ha had all the parts that would fit my sport but only did carburetprs as a whole and not auro choke's on there own, i rang him to arrange payment and he advised it would be £85 all in with delivery that was a shock really cheap. I then paid him by paypal last wednesday evening and the parts arrived on Friday morning i then took these to the bike place
They fitted them yesterday and then told me it is all running fine except for the kick start so i'm getting it back on friday morning after i have coughed up £84 for collection, labour and a new drive belt
i can't wait it will be nearly three weeks and i haver missed it so much.
I've got to get christmas out of the way and then i'll get the rest of the work done
