I have a 2.00ltr Aircooled CU engine, I have not started since xmas......I recharged the battery up full.....(Good Battery)....It is turning over very slow and won't fire ....Also when I was out in it last it was really hard to turn the engine over when hot, the starter was very slow

Any clues anyone ???

Need it on the road quick smart my daily has packed up :wink:

Thanks in advance

Check .... battery connections.... all earth straps....starter motor bolts... all connections to starter motor....the little bush that the end of the starter motor shaft fits into... starter motor condition :lol: :lol: :lol: That's enough to be getting on with I think

I'll give them a try when this wind dies down.....unless I lie down up the end of the street and let the wind blow me towards me camper

Thanks :lol:

The year before last we had a bit of a whirlwind. Took 18 or so slates from my roof and the whole of my shed roof
A neighbors shed was lifted into her next door neighbors garden with all the paint tins still on the shelves. Very weird.
So no I don't think the wind is stronger this year.
