    starting problems

     

    hhhheeeeeeeellllllpp!!! help me please someone!!!!

     

    i have a bolwell sym (jive i think!) 50 cc which is having starting problems.

    they started a few weeks ago and sometimes nothing would happen when i pressed the starter, i would move the bike forwards a bit and then try again and it would turn over.

    now it wont start at all, al that happen is it makes a click sound when you press the starter, i have taken all the body off and found the part that is clicking, its an electrical connection thingy!!! (im not very technical!!!) if i replace this thing  will it start, if so i can just go to show n go and ask for the part!!!!

     thanks in advance folks

    Try a jumper lead start from a car battery your scooter battery might seem OK light work etc but starting takes a big load of battery and your old one might not be up to the job

    you have a sym retro50.. try kickstarting it and take it for a run, a good run.. it should charge up.. if it dont charge up it may have gone past the point of beening able to hold its charge(happens when they fun flat) it will be a gtx4l-bs or a ytx4l-bs... none the less the battery is a 4.. we sell them for $49 .. cya..
