Off for a very quick spin on the Goldstar before more decorating, then a ventilation system guy is coming to service and explain whatever it is it does (apart from filter the air) cos I am clueless on that stuff, my ventilation system at home entails opening a window.

There will as usual be zero pics 😝

It passed OK. 👌 

Had a slight problem, the lights would not come on when scoot was started,  but they did after 10 seconds, have to look into that one. 🤔

You going to be getting out on it Clive?

A guy on the scoot forum has been trying to sell his scoot, same model and year as mine, he tried for 3 months and gave up, it is stood in his garage now, he says he will try again next spring.

Getting spares is a bit problematic.

No joy with the lights, they will not come on at all now 😔 

Checked the fuses...all ok.

Checked the relays...only has one relay for headlight dip/main beam.

Checked all the block connectors that I can see...all clean and free from corrosion. 

I am stumped as to what it is. 😕

So in answer to Petes question "Will you use it Clive"

The answer has got to be no, because besides it not having any running lights, it also has no brake lights. 😔

Wouldn’t worry about it, it all adds to the excitement, will I get pulled by the rozzers? Will someone ram into the back of my scoot? Can I make it home without something else breaking?

I think you mean “a little too complicated..” but never mind I’m sure Jonny big brain will finish key stage 2 English soon and then maybe eventually move on to how to work his own phone.

I am going to start at the battery, check the connection, check the earth connections to the frame and engine, also put a new fuse in.

I have put the battery on charge so it will be fully charged, just to eliminate the possibility that a low battery is causing the problem, and take the tupperware off so I can gain access to the ignition switch, which  it is keyless, and check the wiring and connectors around that area.
