    Should be 3rd kick. Kick it over twice with the ignition off, then once
    with it on, and it should fire into life.
    £300.

    It had been sitting for a while, although over the years I have tried
    umpteen
    different variations on starting techniques and eventually gave up with
    any of them.

    As soon as I did this it would invariably start first time.

  8. If it's got a valid MoT some twonk might pay as much as 450 quid for it.

    Someone like Sweller or I might pay 75 quid.

    It's a 125 with MOT. Always going to be someone out there who'll pay
    £300 plus for it, no matter how shitty.

    [1] It did,

    I was hoping for more of a haggle but I got my asking price (200ukp)
    with no questions. It only took 2 days to sell as well. There was some
    competition, a chap was selling one nearby with three engines for 450 quid.

    I am glad it's gone tho' the fiance couldn't start the bugger which got
    a bit tedious after a while.

    You had to blow him to get him to buy it? Good tactic.

    I thought about posting that. But I wasn't sure what the calorific
    content of jism was. I bow to your experience... er but not in your
    general area.

    I'd have thought that bowing facing away from him would be more risky.
