Jonway YY250T Starter By dklarz (Read 834 times)

Where in the heck in the starter on my YY250T Scoot! My solenoid will run until I kill the battery but the starter won't kick in - I thought I'd try knocking the starter to see if it'll kick but either can't find it (I might have) or don't know what it looks like. Thanks - Dave

It is at the front of the motor on mine. Follow that heavy red wire from the solenoid down to it. Kinda hard to see with all that plastic in the way, but it sits in front of the crankcase of the motor, and just under the front motor mount.

I was just out there looking at mine, and there is room to reach under there with a ford wrench and tap on it if needed. You might try jumping across the solenoid with a screwdriver of something metal to see if the starter works or if the solenoid is going bad. Making contact a couple of times across the solenoid might make it come loose if it is stuck. I've had that happen to me with the 150, but it had a kick starter, too, so I was able to free it by kicking the kick starter. Unfortunately, these 250's don't have one.
