Engine Starting Problem

[kischi85]

Hello first of all, as i am new to this forum.

Well I have a Baotian BT50QT-11C for about 3months now. Anyways since 2 weeks ago i got starting problems with my bike... First i had to push the engine staring button more often till it started... then after some time i couldnt start it at all anymore and I was only able to get it started with the kick start by time...
Meanwhile i cant start it at all anymore...

I only get 1 starting noise at the beginning when i press the start button, but then it clucks and just gives this straight noise and theirs no try to start the engine anymore i think...
Well the battery is fine - checked the voltage.
Else i dont have a clue what can be the reason... May it be that i need to change engine oil (or also gear oil) or do i have to cleen the spark plug?

And if so, do you know where i find the spark plug of my bike,. coz theres no picture in the manual and i didnt find a photo in the net as well.

Change your spark plug to a NGK C7HSA one, which you can get from halfords for £1.99


Does it start ok using the kick starter?
Because it definitely sounds like the cheap and nasty battery is flat. Check the water levels in the battery and if needed top the battery up with distilled water

Well i was able to start it with 1-3 kicks for afew days about a week ago, but now its just doing anything anymore....
Maybe its the battery, because as i said once it stopped working to start, both electric and kick start, i recharges the battery over night and the next day it worked, but only really comfortable with kick start but after 3-4 days nothing is able to start... and im not quite sure if its a battery problem now as you suggest your if theres a contact missing between battery and starter :/

Thanks for the tip with the spark plug. I try to get though i live in Germany.
