Bit of a chilly day, windy too.

This is a Honda Zoomer or Ruckus, cult following out there, and one of the looks I would love to emulate if Steampunk does not come together.

Went down to the garage late.

Last time this was on the road, 2004.

Ignition on, fuel gauge live.

Note the miles this has done, not a lot.

Dragged the skeleton into the garage, put about a litre of fuel,into the tank.

Cleaned all the electrical contacts with some fine emery paper.

Then tried to jump start if from thenBlazer again, and for one positive sound, like a mini Bzzzt, then just relay type clicks after that.

So removed the plug, seemed fine.

Then dig deeper and found this.

HELP OR ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE.

On the Italjet I have.....

I have not been able to start it but found this part to be corroded, and a wire loose.

Seems to have an association with the carburettor

And yes, it’s corroded and one wire is adrift.

And this is where it lives.
