Just an update, seems it was my starter bendix, we traced ground wires all over the place everything was clean... We pulled the clutch cover on the advise of a local tech and the bendix seemed to be kinda sticky and and loose. We cleaned it up with some silicone spray and it seemed to work pretty well. Now its doing it again so I'm thinking I may need to order a new one. Scooter actually runs pretty well except for the bog down on load. I ordered a new carb with upgraded jets as well as the new pod air cleaner, I think that will solve that issue.
Thanks again for all the ideas guys, and ianyone has a good used bendix they need to get rid of please lmk

Thanks for the ideas, If it ever warms up and I can get out in the garage with the boy we'll start at the grounds. I would rather do that before I rip the right case cover to check the starter gear. I have a couple local guys giving me different advice over the same issue obviously to no avail. But hey thats what father son preoject are all about. Heck I know that where I learned to cuss...

Engine kicks over with the kick starter, someone said something to me about possibly the starter gear that the starter engages on might be stuck??? So kinda sounds like wiring is where I need to go next???

Alright here' the scoop... Bought a 2004 Eagle 50cc for my son a couple weeks ago. Scoot hadn't been run in 2 years, needed to replace the battery first thing. When we tried to start it be got a rapid buzz from the solenoid. We attempted to jump across the solenoid and nothing, tested the battery and 12.3 volts so no problem there. Attempted the old go to jumped across the solenoid and nothing. Pulled the starter and tested it, no problems there... Since then we replaced the solenoid and the cdi in the past 2 days, still the same thing. One thing that happens occasionally is when we pull the brake the fuel guage will drop out to empty like a short. The inline fuse is good but I did find a few blown ones when we pulled the CDI box... Any ideas from the gurus would be awesome...
Thx
Damon

Thanks guys, Planned on carb issues and such, have the new fuel filter and after it sitting I need to drain the fuel out as well. It's a project, but it will be a good learning experience for the boy so when and when he does have an issue he will know where to start looking...

New to the board, but have been on many motorcycle forums from when I had my Shadow Ace. I have found most folks on these forums are chock full of information as I was on past forums.
Here's the deal, I just purchased a 2004 Eagle Tank 50cc for my son's first ride. It had been sitting outside for 2 years. I ordered a new battery for it and when we try to turn it over I get a buzz kinda high speed clicking sound from the solenoid. I pulled the starter and bench tested it first thing, starter is fine, tried jumping across the solenoid and nothing. I was told locally that it was probably the CDI.
Any input would be great.
Thx
Damon
