 Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2007 8:31 am Post subject: Engine cuts out |
 |
|
I was riding at 30 mph,went over a man hole cover and the engine cut out, as if I had flicked the emergency engine cut out switch (which I hadn't!). Would not start again though lights and instrument panel all working. Still garaged after 5 days with no progress, still as if cut out switch was off. Any ideas as garage clueless.  |

Check the spark plug lead is still attached to the plug. I have had this come loose twice on my GT, and now carry a spare end-of-lead plug attachment.

I had the same, it was the ignition. It was replaced by the garage under the warranty. No problems since. |
