PX125 Not Starting

[boaby]

Hi folks, apologies if there is something obvious I'm missing, but here goes!

I tried to start my scoot (2002 px125) which had been unused for about 3 months a couple of weeks back with no success - electric start wasn't working (completely dead), tried kicking it, it coughed and spluttered a bit, but just wouldn't start. Over the next couple of days i tried the kick again, it was turning over (or sounded like it) but just not starting. Didn't try bump starting it at that point as i thought it might have been the battery. What I've done since then is....

- Replaced battery. Lights and electric start not working when ignition on. Battery is new and fully charged, but appears to be dead when in the scoot!

- Replaced spark plug. Old plug was manky, covered in soot.

- Cleaned out carb. It was full of fuel, fuel also in the bottom of the housing

- Removed spark plug, kicked a few times to clean out fuel

- Reattached the air filter inlet hose which had come away from the frame of the scoot

- Replaced the fuse

- Tried bump starting it, sounds like it might be starting, but then nothing

- When I try to kick start it now, the low fuel light flashes on every kick, as does the rear light (though lights are off and there's plenty fuel)

I think it might have a few problems, but is there anything I can do to try and narrow down what might be causing it? There's obviously an issue with the electrics, but even if I can get it started to take up to the garage I'd be happy!

Anything that anyone can suggest would be really appreciated. Thanks for your time, guys.

Check the ht lead, check the spark plug cap too. If they are ok, I'd check your stator and flywheel.

Check to see if you are getting a spark ignition on with plug out push down on kickstarter.on my px if you leave it a few weeks two stroke oil drips into crankcase through carb as it's a auto lube.possible plug fouling.let os know how you get on still might be able to help cheers alan.

Sorry forgot to say check wiring in connector box where HTC lead goes into .also there is a lot of connections just above the horn possible bad connections and earths it sounds funny but I think the horn wires have a lot to do with other electrics.good luck alan.
