    I hit a bump in the road which gave the bike a big jolt and now it doesn’t run right
    It starts and will move with the slightest of throttle to about 5mph.
    Any more throttle and it splutters and dies
    I thought It was a spark issues as the ht cap didn’t feel tight but after a new cap and plug it still has the problem so now I’m not sure
    I’m hoping to find a damaged wire, pipe or something when I strip the fairing off tomorrow
    In the mean time if anyone has any suggestions, pointers etc it will be most appreciated

    Airbox come loose or something?

    More than likely jolted something loose letting in too much air. Check around carb area, manifold and airbox connections.

    Check today couldn’t see anything loose. Chafed wires etc.
    Midland scooter centre want £60 for diagnosis
