    Hi I'm new to scooters so don't know too much at all about them. Went to start my runner the other day and it made the sound asif it started, then died, I tried again and it made the same sound but for less of the time like it was about to tick over,
    Now all I hear when I go to start is the starter relay click and that's it.
    Also I can't use the kickstart as it don't work.

    Ye you might want to look into that, kick start seized could mean it needs a new piston. which would also explain why your bike wont start

    Well not necesserily the piston. Sounds to me like the engines seized it could be a number of things
