B12 Wouldn't start
« on: July 10, 2007, 08:24:48 AM »
Ok, so I get back home to Wagga bloody Wagga from 2 weeks in sunny Townsville.  The weathers to cold and wet to ride on Saturday or Sunday.

Anyway Monday morning I go out to the garage to start up the old faithfull, never let me down B12.  Temperature was -1c.  The bike fired once and stalled.  I then tried to start it a number of times and only succeded in flooding it and fouling the spark plugs.

My question is, why after only 2 weeks would my beloved B12 do this?

By the way, being the mechanically inept person that I am, and given that I really don't have time to 'muck around' I rang the local shop and the picked up the bike and fixed it - cost $150.00 including the pickup cost.
