I donโt know of I have missed something but I broke my phone and now that I got a new one I canโt find the ct app in playstore. Has it been removed or..?
Could someone recommend a brand or product that would be easy to use and not too expensive? Iโm not looking for a professional result, just some shine and protection to the paint
So, my girlfriends parents car started having issues with starting. For what they told me I tought that no problem, the battery must be just dead since itโs old and itโs cold outside. Well I went and took a look at the car and as soon as I opened the central locking with the button on the key, the car started making a weird ticking noise and flashing the left blinker. I sat inside and the backlight of the dials started flashing as well as some weird red led under the dials that I have absolutely no idea where it connects to. I disconnected the battery and waited for a bit. After putting the battery back it kept on doing the same thing without the blinker. I tried to start the car just out of curiosity. The key did absolutely nothing and now the central locking stopped working. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong and if anyone has any idea what causes any of this, please share it with me. I may have f**d up something but it definitely wasnโt working even before I layed my fingers on the car. Atm the car is sitting outside with a disconnected battery and seriously, any help is appreciated
Today I tought that I had finally managed to fix my Rieju SMX 125 since it worked flawlessly this morning (if the speedometer and lights arenโt taken into consideration). But on the way home from my school it decided to not work again. It does work for about 0.5-1.5 kilometer at a time, but after that it loses power and the engine cuts off. I canโt get it running after that for a moment, so I get to admire the beauty of my lovely machine (which looks like s**t since the paint decided not to stay attached to the fairingsโฆ) for about five minutes. After that it fires up easily using the kickstart. I have no clue what causes this problem and any advice or ideas how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I tried riding it with the gas cap off so I doubt that the issue is that in the breather of the gas tank.
If I manage to start it up I need to constantly rev it so that it doesnโt turn off. I took the carb off and Iโll clean it up. Any other ideas what might cause it other than dirt in the carb? The bike is 2006 Rieju SMX 125 and it has been sitting in a shed over the winter and hasnโt been ridden much last year. It has a new spark plug and the battery is pretty empty.
