Motor scooter maintenance

[Tomii]

I'm new here, I Left my scooter at wifes house for11 months. Came back and it wont start. Local village mechanic is trying to tell that its not a dead battery and needs " something" replacing. I'm feeling suspicious . Is it usual for falang to get treated as cash cows

Don't know make of bike,surprised battery not dead,try fresh petrol,cannot be much for a bike  repair anyway,especially from local guy

Why not ask him how much it will cost. Could just be something cheap and simple. Do not worry no matter what it is it will be cheap. I got my honda wave 110 cc overhauled for 3500 baht this year. . I recommend just get it fixed and make a friend with the mechanic.

Makes good sense. Fuel feed issues are common with engines not used for long periods. Filters, jets...
