I want to drive tomorrow, HELP

[HendrikPV40]

My NC30 has been sleeping for a month now (it has been freezing and waiting for a new tyre)
Today I mounted the new tyre and tried to start her. As expected the battery was empty so I pushed her to start. It took a while to start, and when she was started she runs 1 second - stops 1 sec - runs 1 sec - stops 1 sec...

I suppose one of the spark plugs died, does anybody know what else the problem can be?

hello-

a better description would be much appreciated so we can all help as best as we can............

what do you mean by starts 1 sec,then stops the next sec,then starts the next sec??????

is it cutting out,and then you have to start it again?or is it mis-firing....e.g,not cutting out but sounding like it is about to cut out..losing power????

Sorry but it's hard for me to explain in English.

The engine runs, but then he seems to fall out, and then, before actualy stopping he works again, and so on. so he keeps "running"

He just seems to be, i don't know, coughing or something like that.

Hope you understand it

and this all happens when the bike is idling????

what happens when you give it some throttle?

it seems the bike is idling erratically,but more so as if it is running very rich or very lean!!!!

a quick test....next time you start the bike,check each downpipe(exhaust) and verify if they are heating up.

if any are cold then this will signify that that cylinder is not firing.....this could be the problem!!!!

It was when idling and while revving

But with the battery charged she works perfect

Happy happy hey

Check that all the electrical connectors and in place correctly and make sure that all earthing wires ar tight. I sounds electriacal from your description. We had this problem when I gave a friend my bike to race on and it turned out that the se-restriction box from the CDI has disconnected itself.
