Moped dying!
My moped has not long been back on the road, it came out of garage after being fixed up and MOT'd and made roadworthy again basically. ive had no problems with it for the past few weeks until Friday last week, i took it out on Tuesday last week and when i was on the journey back, it started to rain but i carried on going (I wish i hadn't now) Ever since then, it has struggled to start every time, i didn't touch it until the Friday afterwards, it was left outside my sisters house, when i tried to start it, it wouldn't fire! I took the air intake apart and got a hair dryer in there to warm it up but it still wouldn't do anything, i left it in the garage overnight, went out the next morning, it started fine, no probs at all. It was running fine for a couple of days, few struggled starts but it worked eventually, in the end we put it down to the cold, i wasn't convinced because i leave it outside overnight all the time and it starts fine! It was kept in the garage again last night and this morning, the bl00dy thing wouldn't start again, ive never had a problem starting it when its been kept in the garage! What could be the problem? another thing ive noticed is that when i am riding in the rain, the bike jolts alot when on full throttle, it doesn't run smooth. any suggestions welcome. TIA :-)

The fuel hat was in there was siphoned out of my courtesy bike into a bucket which had dust and stuff in it, i stupidly put that fuel straight into my bike and i think something blocked the pipeline or there was an airlock somewhere. Who knows! :-)
