zx 50 starter

[rgy]

put a new battery in and the starter worked again but after a couple days it won't work.  the horn still sounds "good battery" loud.  I heard a small click when I hit the starter button.  What do you think?

Might want to check and clean your starter switch.

You might want to check your connectors right through. I think I read in another thread about poor contacts on the relay.

..my starter problems boiled down to the magnets freeing themselves from the interior casing of the starter motor...

...sounds kinda like what you're saying...

..new starter motor is around 30 bucks...

..new starter motor is around 30 bucks...

Not on the ZX!  My dealer wants nearly $70!  All kickstart for me!

Sounds like the starter relay though.

...dunno about the zx starter model...

..but i got a marshin (junk)..an a50, and a ppl 50 2t that all have the same starter motor...

.. i googled one at around 30 bucks somewhere...

..2-stroke starters work lighter than the 4-ts....

yeah, the zx starter is $70 here also...i have been kicking mine also..lmao, always spending money on springs, etc...lmao, i sortof miss it tho.    keep hearing conflicting stories in my side about rebuilding them...most say cant be done anyway, soooo......

[wordslinger]

..they can be rebuilt, i did it myself..

..it's not easy....

i had actually broke a magnet/brush off the soldered wire, went to clean it, didnt know about going in reverse on reassembly.    i had called several starter shops, maybe they just dont like this tiny thing,.. a local scoot shop said mine was going out(tap it and it start turning). so i tried cleaning it...oops!
