I have a Sprint which I'm keeping for spares basically, but I tried my new battery on it and the wiring seems fine, however, the motor kicks in but never quite gets going - it's as if the motor is catching inside somehow. A clue might be that the front wheel will not go backwards very easily, it's as if something is catching, but clearly there is nothing I can see externally that's catching.
How easy is it to open the motor to see if maybe there's something obvious out of kilter inside? As I said it's not the Sprint I am riding, but I was just wondering what you experts think might be causing the wheel to catch (not lock). Interestingly despite revving the bike motor, and it kicking and stopping, when I released the throttle, the battery does not auto cut-out.
Thanks for any replies.
