Welcome to Scooter Doc, oldmanweezer. Does the scoot show any signs of life when you turn the key on? If not, then check out the main fuse at the battery (usually 20 amp) and replace if necessary. You may also have additional fuses like I have that should be checked.



Even if there is damage elsewhere in the charging circuit, you should have gage activity and brake and taillights working when the key is turned on. Get that fixed first and then see if the scoot starts up. Then you can check with a multimeter to see if the charging system is working (at least 13.5 volts at the battery).

Welcome to Scooter Doc, dacheeba. Congratulations on the YY250T. This scoot and the MC-54-250B are clones of the Honda Reflex body wise. The B uses the Linhai engine cloned from a Yamaha and the YY250T uses the 244cc CfMoto engine which is cloned from the Honda Helix. So, the 250B and the YY250T look the same but just have different engines. There is no specific manual for these scoots. Most people use the manuals which pertain to the engines that are in their scoots. You can find the Yamaha and Helix manuals here:

Does the variator assembly slide easily when you remove and replace it? The only time the belt could be loose would be if the clutch is hanging open and the contra spring is not closing it when slowing down. Just removing and installing the variator would not free up the clutch if it is sticking in the open or top speed position. Like alleyoop said, the clutch should be closed and the belt will be at the outermost portion of the pulley unless it is sticking and or the contra spring is weak. If a roller was out of its track, acceleration would be slower because the variator would be partly closed. How many miles on the rollers and belt? Have you cleaned out the factory grease?

Good point, Rich. If you have confidence in your charging system and battery, then you really don't need a kick starter. I think the electric start may be more reliable than the kick start in any case. All the bigger scoots don't have the kick start.

The tool I displayed a link for is the same type as shown on page 7 of the GY6 manual:



The modified gear puller set up I described was used successfully by a member of the Ruckus forum. If you can use either of the above methods, the seal should be reusable.

Here's my favorite. $15 and guaranteed for life. Works on all variators and clutch assemblies.

I believe the drum brake set up uses a 10 inch rim so you most likely will not be able to use a 13 inch rear wheel even if you could change over to drum brakes. The left crank case assembly is most likely shorter than the disk brake set up. Measure the distance from the end of the crankshaft to the rear axle to confirm this.
