Chipper won't turn over

[chopper brown]

Hope someone can point me in the right direction with regards my tr6.

 

Went to if as normal and it turned over but didn't start. Has happened a few times before as the banjo at the bottem of the fuel tank gets blocked from time to time.

I put the throttle to half and it turned over again but didn't start. This normally starts it but not on this occasion.

 

I turned it off and tried again, after the initial start up but nothing at all on the key. The fuse on the starter was blown, blue 15a I think. Changed the fuse and tried again and it had blown another.

 

I would normally try and trace the wires for breaks but the bastard thing is at the back of my container and I'm struggling to get at it.

 

Thanks in advance

Got a short there somewhere so may need to get at it to fix the problem.

I have heard of Forst ignition barrel myther in the past. Don't know what type of barrel it is. Can you turn the rotor by hand?

I had this same problem with my TR6, early on it its life from new. Forst changed the ignition switch under warranty and that sorted it.
