  • Still can’t get my previously stolen 125 to start.

    The battery is definitely dead (whether that’s for good or not I don’t know as I can’t check)
    I’m now stuck at the point that it lights up and will turn over, but no spark (I’ve taken the spark plug out to check it and it looks okay to me?) I can’t get a spark from it when it’s out of the engine but still attached to the lead.

    I did happen to look in this little box next to the battery, should there be 2 more fuses(?) in those spare spaces?

    Going to have to admit defeat and take it into a shop next week as it’s becoming more than I can handle with my limited knowledge.

  • Fully charge the battery then hold the plug against the engine when you hit the starter button and watch for spark ( it needs to be grounded ). With the plug out you should be able to smell petrol getting to the combustion chamber to verify good fuel supply. As ever, there's some good tutorials for this sort of thing on yootoob.

  • Thanks, I have done the spark on the engine block thing with the battery from the other bike and I’m definitely not getting a spark.
