I finally managed to sort it out. It was not flooded! One of the two fuel lines(smaller diameter one) that connect the carburettor and fuel tank was split, so there wasn't any fuel coming to the engine. It was split from being trapped from the centre stand. I'm not 100% sure it is actually a fuel line- there wasn't any fuel spillage, but it runs from the bottom part of the fuel tank to the bottom end of the carburettor. To get to it you have to remove some side panels and the under-seat compartment. If you need step by step guide in taking it apart send me a message. Phil

Any ideas about the problem?

It was a bit late last night when I was posting the question... Sorry! After cleaning the spark plug it only starts for 2-5 sec, and cuts off. When I try to start it again it fails to start. Basically I have to take the spark plug out again, clean it, to be able to start it! But even then it only runs for 2-5 sec. My dad suggested fuel delivery problems - fuel lines/ carburettor...etc. Hope it sound a bit clearer now?

I'm another new forum member. I left my Aerox 100 standing during the Christmas period. When I tried to start it in 2 weeks time - it started only for about 10 sec and then cut off! I decided to do the usual thing as before - took the spark plug out wiped it off, it started- the fuel tank was empty, so I went to the garage to put some fuel. Up to the brim... I left it running while I washed all the salt accumulated on the bike the last 2 winter months. Next morning it started after 2 min kick starting it. It run a bit rough and lumpy. After work started and I left it idling for about 2 min. When I went to set off, I opened the THROTTLE and it cut off. It's been like this since then. I've installed brand new spark plug just to make sure, but to no joy. Only starts the first time after I wipe the spark plug dry, and then it only turns but it does not start... Any productive advice appreciated!!!
