If a starter solenoid receives insufficient power from the battery, it will fail to start the motor, and may produce a rapid clicking sound. The lack of power can be caused by a low battery, by corroded or loose connections in the battery cable, or by a damaged positive (red) cable from the battery. Any of these problems will result in some ...

Also, the starting procedure for the Tina required moving a switch on the handlebar to "start" before kick starting the scooter; this activated a governor to keep the engine speed too low to activate the transmission. If the switch was in "drive" on starting the scooter, it would accelerate immediately; this happened to Turner, causing a crash ...
Unlike most scooters with enclosed engines, the Topper's engine did not have a cooling fan. [2] [5] [6] It was expected that the low, horizontally mounted engine would be cooled by air passing under the scooter, [2] but some Toppers developed overheating problems. [5] The engine used a reed valve in its induction system. [3]
Blow-by, as it is often called, is the result of combustion material from the combustion chamber "blowing" past the piston rings and into the crankcase. These blow-by gases, if not ventilated, inevitably condense and combine with the oil vapor present in the crankcase, forming oil sludge.
