Jude Banks is said to be a very good motorcycle mechanic in Limerick. I'm sure he could sort you out. He is out the Ballynanty direction 087 2601166

I'm sure there's a place on John Street who service scooters. They sell and sevice bikes, scooters and lawnmowers. I think it's called Hourigan's or Hannigan's.

I used to go to Mike Meskell's all the time with my bikes for service. Couldn't ever fault him.

Are they any good those gileras? Any advantages/disadvantages over a regular scooter apart from looking a bit better?

I've never used Tony Kielys so I can't comment there. However I have used the rest mentioned here, they would all be OK for a service, but if you need anything serious done go to Grange Motorcycles in Hospital.

They are quite expensive

i went to kielys and was 40 euro for new battery they dont service scooters, Ive been told meskells are very expensive to get scooter service from asell. ill ask hourigans dont think they do them anymore if they dont ill just go onto youtube and do it myself its only the brake pads id be worried about changing really.

His advert on donedeal: http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/motorbikes/2131447. Let us know if he works on scooters and if he is pricey. My bloody thing refuses to start and I am running out of ideas, might need to get someone to look at it.

mine was parked up for a while aswel wouldnt start, when you kick start it does it sound like the spark plug is sparking? i took out the spark plug an cleaned it then i unattached the fuel line gave it 2 kicks bit petrol came out reconnected it and was working fine just air in the line it grand now.

fando

The problem is that the kick start spring is broken and I can't crank it to check for spark (used to button start). Other than that I checked fuel lines, choke, carb. I doubt it's electrics as it's fairly new scooter. The rubber from manifold to carb is cracked a bit but doubt it is the reason. I never had luck with those 2-strokes; the wind changes direction and they are in bits.

Try google searching for enthusiast/fan forums for your make/model sometimes if you are lucky then you'll find step by step troubleshhoting guides etc.

- Other than that you might have to fall back on more general fault finders, a lot of the same principles will apply no matter what way your internal combustion engine and its assoc system are laid out - ie re ignition switch, starter motor, spark plug(s), fuel supply etc.

(Apologies if above is just stating the obvious to ya.....! First bit def might be....)
