It probably shouldn't sound like a car By FACE PLANT FOR LIFE (Read 626 times)

I totally forgot to tell everyone here about this before I put my scooter away for the year (and it's still not out, unfortunately). My starter wasn't always engaging consistently on my 50cc (making horrible gear grinding noises *shudder*), so I replaced the bendix on it. The thing is, the bendix looks almost exactly the same, but what it does NOW is really REALLY weird. It's not like the other one that would just come out, engage, and turn the engine a few times. For some reason, my new bendix comes out, engages, and then for some reason unknownst to me, my scooter starts like a car! Or at least it sounds like it. You know, the RPM's get really high and then drop low after the start? Why would a new bendix do that anyways?

If the carb has an ENRICHER that is what it is supposed to do. The ENRICHER feeds it extra fuel for cold starts. Then once the motor starts it feeds voltage to the ENRICHER and the valve EXTENDS out to shut off the extra fuel. Durint the Extending which is gradual the rpms will start to drop down until the extra fuel is completely cut off.
