BRETTA WON'T START WHEN NOT STARTED A FEW DAYS

[idc23]

When she it starts it runs clean, just seems weird it starts after a few days, but leave it for a week or two it wont, i think what wack says might be true ?

Yes I agree with what Wack says but I can start my scooter after a couple of weeks ( more like days in truth as I use it a lot) without issue 2nd kick every time and I mix my oil just like everybody else.

Definitely fuel related. Check flow from fuel tap into a bottle. Check carb filter. Remove any inline fuel filters if fitted. Check float assembly to ensure it is free to allow fuel to flow.

Ok will bin inline filter, thanks

Always keep the throttle closed when kicking it over, especially from cold. You'll find it fires up much easier.

You didn't come back on my comment above, it's surprising how many people wring the throttle whilst kicking it over which just results in a weak mixture. Try it with the throttle firmly closed for a few kicks and see if it's any better.

Aha. Filter !

Let us know the outcome. (Keep that throttle shut!!)

[idc23]

Throttle shut, will remember that .

[Chris in Margate]

So what was the outcome as I see you're riding it albeit with a few problems.

Think it was down to me giving it throttle , seems to start a lot better with no throttle, just got the problem of revs hold up like it is weak from a fast run.
Thanks Ian
