When switched on it bleeps an error 7 code. I can find nothing

I had this fault code on a "TGA Eclipse" , which the manual identified
as a speed control fault. When I dismantled the control panel, the loom
connector fell off the board connector, it hadn't been clipped in
properly and had gradually worked loose. Perhaps the speed control
connections were the first to go open circuit or perhaps Code 7 was the
first thing the error code software picked up on.

Maybe that's it, the throttle isn't zeroing right either. I'll go look
at that later on. Thanks.

Looks like you were right, zero the throttle and it starts ok repeatedly.
The end user says thank you.

Pleased to hear that was helpful The user manual for the "TGA Eclipse"
has a list of fault codes and is available online, so it might be
similar enough to your model to be worth downloading.
