Stella won't run

Post by Mike1nw »

A friend's bike....

He said it had fallen over. Somehow cracked (!) the oil tank, so it leaks above a certain level.

He said it will start but not run. I tried to kick it but couldn't get it started.

Q: If the battery is dead, as I suspect (haven't dug into it yet), will that make it not want to keep running?

It can run without a battery. Where is the leak from?
