After doing my last scooter to flip which I sold at cost and now only doing my own from now on so I thought the saga begins.
Short form
1 headlight bit dim say's mate who bought it, no worries say will call over after work.
2 another call, it won't stop turning over with key turned off.
3 get there poke with sharp stick swear curse offer him his money back or another scooter of mine the Aprilia Habana but wants to keep Peugeot.
4 thump solenoid problem cured, light still dim after changing bulb. More proding with sharp stick.
5 volt meter giving low reading of 3 Volt's on lights not sure if AC voltage as Google only useful for advertising now, battery charge voltage only 13 volts. So I want to try stator when have time.
6 bring over Thursday say I but he wants to ride it over now as knows Yolanda not good so that there's no rush for me to do it.
7 off we go his partner following to take him back. After 10mile he not there I turn round find him. No worries he says run out of petrol partner gone to get a can and some petrol after a fair while happy partner comes back we put petrol in.
8 cranky, cranky bloody cranky no start try one last time and bloody starter sticks on again as we run round like headless chickens trying to find screw driver in the darm by the time we do battery dead.
9 go home on my scooter get trailer, load and now home.
Lucky Oh what joy Peugeot are been up since 04.30 it was 22.00 when I got back glad I don't take Yolanda to the Dr's till late morning and work is only in the afternoon for 3hours.
Problems now solved a new solenoid and stator awaiting collection this afternoon.
