hi i posted here awhile ago about my scooter not starting it made a funny noise and i thought the battery had dead cells. orignal post link scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=150cc&thread=4883&page=1#35911 new to fourms so dont know if that will work like i hoped. so i took my battery to have it tested i was told it couldent be tested wich dident surprise it was a battery from an ebike. so i bough a new one and same thing wont turn over goes sheed sheed so i removed some little chrome plate thing looks like a fan of some kind i took a picture im gonna try to upload it. when i push my start button that sheed sheed noise is that white fan thing turning but it only turns once or half a turn then stoppes then i hit the start button again and same thing i assum its supposed to spin fast as the bike starts. maby my starter is crap anny ideas

Try measuring the voltage on the battery with a multimeter before you try to start it and tell us what it is. Also, take the plug out and turn the white fan with your hands clockwise and see if it turns easily. Rich

Oh.. ya the lightening scooter...I suspect that you have many electrical parts that are defective...unfortunately...

dont have a voltage meter but i checked it my frieds after i charged it for the first time it was like 12.7v its a utility battery for motercycle atv snowmobile ect. it was a acid battery i had to put it in myself. as for the plug i took it out and i can spin the fan freely with some pressure i cant give it a hard spin and wych it roll but my spark was black and smelt of gas but wasent wet and the tip for the plug isent worn at all i bough it in the spring and havent ridding really at all.

Sounds like you have a problem with the starting motor or the solenoid...the noise could be a loose screw that holds the stator in place. There are magnets in there and the screw gets held by the magnets and rubs on the flywheel.

I think you really need to find a decent mechanic...you will likely need special puller tool for the flywheel

That's what I was maybe thinking, eh? If he could turn the engine maybe bad starter or starter clutch, eh? Rich

starter clutch is bad
