Ok, again try the test on the Solenoid it could be the battery and Solenoid were bad. With the battery showing 12.5 or above it should spin the starter. Again jump the two terminals on the relay. Alleyoop 2nd this John |

Any ideas as to where I can get a really cheap kick starter shaft and lever for a 50cc chinese scooter?

I certainly hope I don't haha. I just redid the complete wiring harness a few months back. could it be my starter motor? if so, how do I test it? is it safe to test it by hooking it up to my battery directly?  |

When you jump across the two large terminals of the starter relay, you are connecting the battery directly to the starter. Make sure that the large red wire from the battery to the starter relay is well connected on both ends and that the ground between the battery and engine is good. If the other heavy wire running from the relay to the starter is also well connected, then it sounds like you have a starter problem.

Well in taking the scooter apart... I found the problem... the bolts holding the starter motor fell out. and the starter motor was just dangling there. any clue as to what bolts I need to get to replace them?

Actually it is worse than I thought... how deep is the bolt supposed to go in? it appears that the bolts have broken off :-(

so I bought me a bolt extractor today. I have been looking online as to how to use it. I'm limited a bit with the access to get where I need to go. I have never extracted a broken off bolt before. any tips as to what I need to make sure to do and to make sure not to do?

well after looking at it today. I can't fit a drill in there to even drill a hole anyway. I have no clue what to do at this point. At harbor freights, the guy mentioned to me a tap and die set, but I was under the impression that the bolt still has to be drilled out. It would be unaffordable for me to go buy another drill to do this with no guarantee of it even coming out. I have a big gaping hole now where the starter motor was, so I'm not sure what to do about that either if I decide to just go with a kick starter.
