After that, it wouldn't crank several times, then it started and died again immediately. Tried reseating fuel cap, and verified battery terminals and plug cap are snug. Fuses in the glove box are fine. Ideas appreciated. ⚠️ Last edited by cat herder on UTC; edited 1 time

Charge it up, then do the usual checks on the charging system. Diagnosing Charging System Problems Oh, and remember NOT to twist the throttle when attempting to start.

Ordered from Italy. Will be a while. Unplug it and ride. The engine runs happily with it unplugged, coincidentally i tried this recently (admittedly i only started the engine and revved it a bit on the stand, i didn't actually ride)
