I'm only 140 miles into Royal Enfield ownership, so I could use a little help:
I bought my 2007 Enfield new, it only has 140 miles on it, and recently it wouldn't start for me. The starter motor does its job, but no ignition.
Yesterday I did a check, and the spark plug wasn't sparking. Tried cleaning it, no help. It was a little blackened on the tip, and I figured that's because it's running a little cold, what with sub-sub-freezing temps here in Chicago. I tried a new spark plug (went with a slightly hotter plug while I was at it) and got spark. I put it in and she fired right up!
I took her out for a little joy ride, (since it was 40ยบ for once!) and about 3 miles in she sputtered out. I checked the plug, and it wasn't sparking again. I tried another new plug, but still no spark. Can anyone think of a reason why a new plug would have worked the first time, but then failed so fast, and another new plug isn't helping?
Of course it's still under warranty, but I didn't get a Royal Enfield to have someone else work on it. Any ideas out there? Thanks!
