Hello all,
It' been really wet and *windy* over the last few days, and I also came off yesterday morning coming out of a slippery turn in the country. A few bits of casing came off, but 8 hours later it started up just fine at the end of the day, to take me home from work.
This morning I spent 15 minutes trying to start it.... the ignition fires, and I hear just a little base like the engine is trying to catch on... but any more trying and I'm sure it'll kill the battery. The strange thing was however, across the 15 minutes, I heard three BANG/POPs emmit from exhaust while try to start it up. Rather worried about that... I do love the moped, its done me very well since I've had it. But I have been a bit relaxed about covering it up in the rain, in recent months. Fingers crossed now its covered up that it'll start again... I'd love to avoid having to take it to a mechanic and fear the worst... Certainly in the last few weeks I've had a few times where it's been difficult to start up (engine not catching on) where the weather has been very damp. I'm hoping it just needs some time to dry out.
Any thoughts?
