My 2002 curvy wont turn over. The other friday when it chucked it down my bike was left in the garage and worked fine on the monday. so i then didnt use it on tuesday and wednesday and on thursday it started but then died on me at the next junction. i tried in vain to start it but the power had died completely. so i took the day off work and had my local shop test the battery and it was knackered so put a new one on and now it has power but wont turn over. the pertol light was on but i put a fivers petrol in and it stil doesnt start. checked both plugs and replaced the front one incase fenda extender didnt catch all the water it looked a little bit blackened so changed it to be safe.back plug looks okay.checked air filter and box and now fuel present. choke seems okay? so i dont know what else to check?. im not the best mechanic but as you can see i try the basics. Anybody know a mobile mechanic in the bromley/kent area thats reasonable?.

Well for a start, does it just turn over or does it duggadugga try and kick into life? Consider getting a mate to give you a push start and try bumping it.. also use the starter while bumping to give extra starting power..

If the starter motor turns, is there a strong smell of petrol? If so, you might have flooded it.
If the starter doesn't turn, maybe the cogs have "bound" in some way? |
