Thanks for your quick reply. I have about 6500mi and this was the original. The new one is in, easier than I thought. Started right up. Yea! Again, Thanks for all your help. Gil

I took the starter out and left it sitting on the bench. A couple days later, I looked and there was a puddle of oil that had come from the starter motor. Am I correct that there should not be oil in that motor. Is there a seal that failed around the shaft?

I finally got to check the connections, and everything seems ok. The starting is getting progressively worse. The red wire from the battery goes to what the parts book calls a relay. I do not see a solenoid listed anywhere. Am I missing something? Is there a way to bypass the relay to insure that the starter is the problem. Starters are not cheap! Thanks for any help.

I have a 08 Roketa MC-70-150. It always starts, but lately there seems to be a longer delay between pushing the start button and the starter engaging and starting the engine. Once it engages, it starts quickly. I checked the battery and after sitting overnight the voltage was 13.2. I checked and cleaned the connections at the battery and no change. Any ideas?

Just an update. I replaced the valve cover gasket, cleaned things up as best I could, and thought that had done the trick. Went for a couple short(<10mi.) rides-no drip. The third day, after about a 20 mile ride, the drip returned. My problem now, besides 100* temps, is finding a time when I can do without the scooter to really get into it and not have to put it back together without parts or time to fix it. I am using 10-40 Synthetic oil. I may try some regular 15-40 and see if anything changes. Any other suggestions? Thanks

I have a 2008 Roketa MC-150-70 that has a small oil leak. Any ideas on the most likely places to check. It is just leaking enough to be annoying. Thanks for any suggestions or personal experiences.

Where might the sponge be located?
