Default About Mini Motos?

We have managed to acquire a mini moto for PJ though I need to get it running first. Now it seems in good nick, but it looks like it had a impact that has damaged the electrics, but I thought I'd just check with someone here before I try to sort it.



This is the broken switch, is it meant to be a kill switch? Also is it earthed on the frame or something?



This is the choke and fuel tap, but which way is on for the fuel?



Here is the look of the bike, there is a crack on the front mudguard that will need fixing.



So its been put away for now, else little man will want to fiddle with it.

It might be worth a PM to Blue SV - he's well into MiniMotos.

That is indeed the kill switch, earthing it will KILL the engine, so don't be doing that if you are trying to start

The cags tend to have a white fuel tap, make sure that is in the 'open' position. (pic #3 ... looks closed at the mo ).

Take the plug out and see if you have a spark, if you do, then you are onto a good start

p.s. Suz, we don't race them and I think you will find I am faster than you

For sure it is 'game on' ... but we kinda 'trackday' them more than race them!! ....

With given bike and weight combinations, I'd say we were both exactly the same speed to be honest!!




But we both know you weigh significantly less and have a faster/better bike to boot ... so you should be a fair bit quicker ... but you are not!!
