Horn and starting issues.

Post by niftyfifty »

some of you may remember me from my spree which has given me endless problems till i eventually got it going only for it to s*** out again.

well i brought another spree and it started first go every time, it ran really rough as though the engine wasnt balanced.

so i replaced starter engine on my new spree and it started first pop. then it had this crap black panel on where the horn is, so i got my red panel off my old scooter and replaced it. Now it wont start! and when u use indicator it beeps with every flash of indicator.

so i swaped them back and now it wont start and its doing the beep thing for the orignal horn. Help i wish id never touched it! they are so temperamental

good news i got one of the bikes started bt its still doing blinkers and horn in tandem sound. starting problem appeared to be spark plug.

i know that sumwhere the wires must be joining and mixing currents, but it just doesnt make sense how originally i didnt have a problem until i replaced the horns.
