Bad times...

Tried and failed to start my E30 on the weekend.... it turns over fine, starts for approx 1-2 seconds then dies instantly.

Loss of compression maybe? Head gone? Or something less suspicious?

All ideas welcome :D

Not good timing, but on a brighter note, I rode home from work today on an electric scooter....pretty random!

it sounds more like a fuel supply problem to me.

I'd be very surprised if this isn't a duff fuel pump.

I had the same symptoms when my fuel pump died last year.


Enjoy your scooter until it's sorted :P
