Hi Folks,
My GSA wont start. Its been building up to this for a few weeks now I think. This winter I find I have to use choke and open throttle to get it to start.
First starts are getting tricky. It sounds sluggish to turn over as if battery is low, but there's a new battery in there. To get it to fire up I have to open the throttle and keep it open when starting and keep the revs up for a minute or so before I can let off the throttle otherwise it will conk out.
Today it wont start at all. It turns over but cant fire up. If I apply choke I get a fast ratcheting sound. If I open throttle the same. When I leave both alone it just turns but wont start.
Spark plugs are just 6k miles old (all of them)
Battery is new
Fuel filter is only 6kmiles
Air Filter is new also
BMW recently put it on the computer so carbs and injection is balanced and hall sensor, they say, is fine. Although recently it conked out completely, all power died including the digital clock mid-ride. It did this twice which is why I had it in with BMW - they couldn't find a fault.
Any ideas why it wont start today?????????
