2018 Roughhouse 50 won't start! https://streamable.com/1y0o9
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:55 pm
Bought a used 2018 RH50, 8500 miles a month ago. Ran perfectly for about three weeks, then over two days the ignition process lengthened, and now it won't turn over at all. Lights and turn signals work fine.
I've charged the battery, and replaced the spark plug. The original spark plug wasn't in great condition, but seemed ok. The new plug didn't spark when held against the frame, so I dabbed some fuel on it and it sparked fine. Put a little fuel into the spark plug socket and put the plug back in, but no change.
It doesn't kick start, but unfortunately I never tried to kick start it before this all happened so not sure if it ever really did.
What's next on the to do list?
Below is a video! It alternates between these two sounds when trying the electric start.
Kill switch is definitely in the right position!

Appreciate any advice
