It might be a security problem, does it crank?
Does the fan roll?

Any of these could be faulty.

Ignition key
Park neutral switch
Starting relay
Starter motor
Harness problem.



If you are good at DIY contact me B4 9am and I'll help you pinpoint the problem.

If you are in lagos and are not ready for the trouble just bring it over for a fix.

Your only problem is the "Starter Moto" on top of the Kick Starter.
Have a re-wirer bring the Kick Starter down and have the "Brush" in the Moto change.
#3,000 will do this job with workmanship inclusive.
Do not go about tampering with other component be warn!!!


*Note: If you are in doubt, get a single cable, power ON the ignition, locate the "Kick Starter Moto" behind the Radiator close to the cooling fan, put one end of the cable on the positive on the "Starter Moto" and touch the positive+ of your battery head with the other end of the cable. Your vehicle should crank and start.

You don't need any form of scanning. Start the vehicle with the wired procedures I explained above and drive it straight to your re-wire technician.

Totally agree. Once had a kick started replaced and had this problem. Turn key like 2 or 3 times before it starts. The initial turns made no sound at all (I first tought it was timing belt). I went back for another change and has been fine since.
