the fuel may of gone off and won't allow you to start the engine.

Are they any lights on the dash?

Battery. Petrol going off is a new one for me.

Used to happen with motor bikes alot when they aren't used for a long time.

Fuel won't ignite.

isnt that only 2stroke bikes?

 

[msa197]

Mostly yes but. If his car was their for a few months could cause the same effect.

 

[mikey_172]

that would be the oil in the 2 stroke causing the bike not to start the car would have to sit a year plus for fuel to go stale

 

[msa197]

only saying what i've experenced. And oil was not even added.
