Keiraville NSW, Australia

Fonzarelli FZ Scooter. Mechanically working but last week was unable to start. Voltage to key lock working - have checked fuse and battery voltages but running out of ideas. Looking for a mobile mechanic to have a look for a few hours to see if they can diagnose what's not working and can take it from there.

Richard came and helped with my scooter's electrical fault - he was knowledgeable and easy to deal with and got the result we wanted. Thanks!
