There could be several reasons why your 6-month-old Activa 5G scooter is not starting after sitting idle for 7 days. Here are a few possibilities:

  1. Battery Drain: If the scooter's battery is not properly charged or has drained over time, it may not have enough power to start the engine. This can happen if the scooter is not used frequently or if there is a fault in the battery or charging system. Try jump-starting the scooter with a battery charger or seek assistance from a professional to test and replace the battery if needed.

  2. Fuel Issues: Stale fuel or fuel contamination can also cause starting problems. If the scooter was left with old or low-quality fuel, it may not ignite properly. Consider draining the fuel tank and refilling it with fresh, high-quality fuel.

  3. Carburetor Problems: The carburetor could be clogged or dirty, preventing the proper mixture of air and fuel for combustion. This can occur if the scooter sits for an extended period without use. Cleaning or adjusting the carburetor may be necessary to resolve the issue.

  4. Ignition System Issues: Problems with the ignition system, such as a faulty spark plug or ignition coil, can prevent the engine from starting. Inspect the spark plug and ignition components to ensure they are in good condition and functioning properly.

  5. Electrical Issues: Check the scooter's electrical connections, wiring, and switches to ensure there are no loose or damaged components that could prevent the starting system from working correctly.

If you are unable to diagnose and resolve the issue yourself, it is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic or authorized service center for a thorough inspection and proper diagnosis of the starting problem. They will be able to identify the specific cause and provide the necessary repairs or adjustments to get your Activa 5G running smoothly again.
