Hi all
So, my teenager went off to collect her ET2 from her dads this afternoon. She then called to say that things had gone a little wrong.
The flow as I understand it was:
- Scooter started fine
- She drove around 300m, and it 'didn't sound right'
- turned round and shut it down, wouldn't restart on elec.
I went over and had a look, and there's clearly something starter related that's causing the issue, but my concern is that it was being driven when things went wrong. When trying to start on the elec, it spins, and sounds a little rattly, as if it's JUST clipping the gearings. When trying to move the kick start, it's 'notchy', again, as if something isn't quite engaged. Neither seem to turn the engine over.
So..... question here, is whether I even mess about diagnosing something, or look at just buying a part - and if so, what! Her dad's not my biggest fan, and repair work would need to be done over there but I'm sure he'd get over it, but wouldn't make it the most comfortable and I wouldn't want to rush.
I'm assuming that there's something in the start train that's not engaging, but what? And why would it 'fail' on the move?
THoughts all?
