As a new member of "Noblity" the smile on my face has been with me perminantly for the past 8 weeks.

Oh dear, just slipped slightly.

Problems starting, I've done all the preflight checks as normal, but when pressing the starter button as usual, it just splutters into life instead of the normal explosion.

Its taking a couple or three goes to start.

Can anyone help please

Many thanks

Did not think an O2 sensor would affect starting....

Does it turn slowly, wheeer, wheeer and then splutter into life ? If so it's the battery on its way out.
