[jay20]

thanks a lot you bin a great help

[wordslinger]

I even took apart the old starter to see what was going on

..yeah, stadium has a cpl-3 week lead time on oem kymco parts...

..but you KNOW they're going to work..

..my magnets detached from the outer casing of the starter motor...

..i had an old junker Marshin, that i used parts to make a whole starter...

..the whole rebuild process is not for the faint-of-heart...and i'll not do it again...  

..i too have a starter motor ordered from stadium, right now...waiting........

...here y' go jay....


bendix and drive face

[jay20]

get in!! I have watched video and sorted the problem it spins the rite way now...but still when it spins and hits the big cog it stops so its gotta be lack of power in bat me thinks

[wordslinger]

...can you turn the drive face by hand??

[jay20]

no not at all but now the f***in bendix is spinnin the wrong way again i dont no what to do lol any ideas

[jay20]

You will need an impact driver and a 17mm socket for best results

[jay20]

whats a impact wrench lol

[wordslinger]

...can you turn the drive face by hand??

no not at all

..you SHOULD be able to turn your drive face by hand!!!...

..wrap it in a hand-towel, or put on a glove and try....

..that sucker should turn fairly easily at one point and become a bit more difficult at times, as cylinder compression increases...

..but it MUST TURN!!!...

  Ha! Yes the drive face should spin!!!  To get the nut off the drive face an inpact wrench is your best bet something like this.  http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/impact-wrenches/1-2-half-inch-twin-hammer-composite-impact-wrench-95098.html . If the starter gear is not holding the drive face and still not able to spin you have another issue! (Not good) Try pulling the plug to relieve the compression.

impact wrench lol bit of brute force did it but my starter motor spinnin and so is the new bendix in the write direction finally but as soon as it hits the drive face it stops its difficult to turn...any ideas on how to make it easier to turn coz i no it will start then please help lol???

[wordslinger]

..if you can't turn your drive face, then there is a serious problem...

..take the spark plug out and then try to turn it...

..spray a bit of penetrating fluid into the hole the plug came out of...



..again, a little history of your scoot might help..

..what happened when it quit running?

..did you buy a scoot that isn't running?

[jay20]

ye i bought it as a non runner for 20 pound lol the guy who had it before me said it was the starter motor that had gone it was runnin upto to the day the starter motor went witch i no is true....i have changed starter motor and bendix witch are both workin fine now i will try n put some wd 40 into piston head and see if that makes it easier but i did take spark plug out earlier and it made it a little easier hopefully it will do the trick a you think it will work??
