This is my first post on the forum so hello everybody. I've been doing lots of research for a while and really wanted a mini truck and found a Suzuki carry-on Craigslist that looked really nice. 52,000km on the odometer, limited rust, and a few add-ons (bumpers, light bar, etc.) I did a thorough check of everything on the truck. Mounts, seals, fluids, and could not find anything wrong. I've been doing my research for months and watched hours of YouTube videos about buyer's guides and what to look for. It fired up no issues. No shaking at idle, everything's mounted perfect. For a test drive we took it on some back trails on steep inclines, put it on four-wheel drive. Everything was perfect. Put it back in two-wheel up to 50 mph. No shaking in the steering wheel. Real solid. Now I'm back home after a 6 hour drive and it won't start on the trailer. I feel like I've been had. Is there anything I'm missing? Did I just shake it up on the trailer and it needs to settle for a while? Do I have to start digging through a whole bunch of troubleshoots to get this thing going?
Its an old, used vehicle. Could be anything. I would start with making sure the engine is getting fuel and spark. One of those is missing. Compression may be fine since it was running. I assume you drove it up on the trailer. Bouncing around on a trailer may have caused a connection to come loose.
