Afternoon
Found a small packet on the Doorstep this morning containing the new Ignition Barrel for the SYM 50. So down to the Workshop i trot. Have had the Battery on a gentle trickle charge for a day couple of days to wake it up.You never know if they are past it until you try. A lot of drilling and a few choice words later the new ignition fitted (now i know how you open the seat) .A few Coffee's and a few litres of fresh go-go juice in the tank.Check there is a spark at the plug, now there is a journey in itself.
Kickstart lever is not there so is the Battery good.Few presses of the start button and all i get is some strange squealing noise.Give it a few seconds and try again.Squeal squeal, then slight catch of the starter motor.Try again another squeal.Time for coffee and a pinch of amber leaf (not recommended ) to the Youngsters out there, does horrible things to the breathing.
Try again, starter kicks in straight away and engine fires for about 2 or 3 seconds then cuts out.Try again and starts up and runs so give the throttle a crack to get some fuel through. Ticked over though a bit up and down so will be taking the Carb out later for a strip and clean. Engine sounded ok. No nasty knocks and bangs from the transmission when had the Engine speed up and the rear wheel turning.
So phase one over. She speaks again after over a year of silence.
Now
back to the Coffee
