Hi, Just joining up because I have a Chinese 50cc that needs some help!
I think it's got the gy-6 engine, it's by King Tong, not sure what else is needed to id, but the important thing is that it won't run when hooked to the starter.
when disengaged to the starter, it will run just fine, what am I missing?

Welcome to the forum aharryhartmann,
Look on the side of the Engine on the Left side it will have the type of motor it has like 139qmj or 139qmb etc..

Now what do you mean it won't run hooked to the starter( are you saying that when you push the START BUTTON the Starter does not turn?) Do you hear something CLICKING when you press the Start Button?

And when you say it STARTS when disengaged to the Starter do you mean it starts with the KICKSTART?
Please explain so we can diagnose the problem. We need some detail info to figure out what part of the scoot has a problem.

For sure Welcome to the Forum and going to agree with Alley, need to let us know what you mean by disengaged? electrical, mechanical or what?

We can foe sure help you and with a little more info we'll get started! Again Welcome!

Welcome to the forum. It appears that King Tong is based in Thailand. It most likely uses Chinese components so it should be easy to diagnose the problem once you feed us a little more info. Here's a picture of where to find the engine ID just above the center stand:



It sounds like you are saying that it will not start and run with the electric starter but will start and run OK with the kick start. Let us know if this is the case.
