zx50 / Won't Start
« on: June 30, 2009, 01:37:57 AM »
I just purchased a used '05 zx50, and while it worked fine when I got it, I can't seem to get it to start on my own. I follow the instructions in the manual and how I was shown: I turn the key to on, hold onto the rear break pedal while pressing the start button...and then it fizzles out. I was able to start it only a few times, which was incredibly difficult; as soon as I went to rotate the throttle, it would most always fizzle out. The same happens if I try to start with the kick start.
I'm pretty sure all the buttons are in the correct positions. My headlight and turn signal switches are off.
Could it just be that I was starting and trying to start it too many times in a short period?
Any recommendations? Thanks for any help.
