Your Day Today!

Off for a very quick spin on the Goldstar before more decorating, then a ventilation system guy is coming to service and explain whatever it is it does (apart from filter the air) cos I am clueless on that stuff, my ventilation system at home entails opening a window.

There will as usual be zero pics

It passed OK.  

Had a slight problem, the lights would not come on when scoot was started,  but they did after 10 seconds, have to look into that one.  

You going to be getting out on it Clive?

Maybe occasionally,  see at the end of the month when tax is due..........SORN or sell, not sure yet.

A guy on the scoot forum has been trying to sell his scoot, same model and year as mine, he tried for 3 months and gave up, it is stood in his garage now, he says he will try again next spring.

Getting spares is a bit problematic.

Make it £1000 and I may consider it.

No joy with the lights, they will not come on at all now  

Checked the fuses...all ok.

Checked the relays...only has one relay for headlight dip/main beam.

Checked all the block connectors that I can see...all clean and free from corrosion. 

I am stumped as to what it is.

Ask Pete, he’s good at that stuff.

Be better off asking Mrs. Pete for advice.

So in answer to Petes question "Will you use it Clive"

The answer has got to be no, because besides it not having any running lights, it also has no brake lights.

Wouldn’t worry about it, it all adds to the excitement, will I get pulled by the rozzers? Will someone ram into the back of my scoot? Can I make it home without something else breaking?

I'm no expert but could it be there is no light fitted on the bike

I think you mean “a little too complicated..” but never mind I’m sure Jonny big brain will finish key stage 2 English soon and then maybe eventually move on to how to work his own phone.

Passed its MOT at 9.30am........Fooked by 9.45am......at least it behaved during the MOT.

[Clive]

Wonder if it's worth looking at the starter motor.

Check the earth from the battery, could be loose.

Yep that was me, you’re still a disappointment.

I am going to start at the battery, check the connection, check the earth connections to the frame and engine, also put a new fuse in.

I have put the battery on charge so it will be fully charged, just to eliminate the possibility that a low battery is causing the problem, and take the tupperware off so I can gain access to the ignition switch, which  it is keyless, and check the wiring and connectors around that area.

I have a basic meter, but my problem is knowing what to test, battery and charging rate I am ok with, so not sure where and what else to test, I have a ( very small) wiring diagram in the handbook, but it means nothing to me.
