Young man extremely talented video with no music and no chit chat just basic instructions on how to get it done. Also I've run across at the drive belt or the variator or the clutch either one of those three are in a bind due to the fact that someone tried to kick it over and the kick spring inside the case unwound or the belt broke you'll still get that clicking so it cuz it can't turn over that may help so I always take the side cover off look at the clutch variator and belt and you're right those starters after they sit they all need a good cleaning WD-40 a little of your magic hands thank you
Thank you for the compliment, and the advice.
Thank you very much for your message you are on top of things
@@johnnywalker4401 Anytime you need anything, let me know.
@@kachiskid you got it young man same here I'm pretty handy with my hands because if it's broke I can fix it because it's already broken it's hard for me to do any worse I'm like you we can get a spaceship going with a Coke bottle and a shrimp salad. Once again you need anything call me first
Most excellent dude no more going to over priced shops anymore or depending on any friends!
Yeah no problem, soon I will drop my "no spark" video. That was just part 1 of my "solved series".
Good job...forgot you have to ground starter body and not just run 12 volt jump wire to positive starter post....ain't my first rodeo on this but must have hit my head coming out of the shoot last time I did a outboard motor starter test..today its a vintage old cb175 in really good shape
Thank you, to tell you the truth, I did the same thing....it took about half a day for me to figure it out.
thanks for helping me with my solenoid starter issue. my nerves benefit
No problem nephew, glad we got your nerves under control.
You have me almost believing even I could do that! One of the best troubleshooting/repair vids I've seen...
Why thank you, my good man...and you can do it. Feel free to peruse the rest of my video's, it's been an interesting 2 1/2 years.
Did you fits your problem
So your battery is ok your solenoid is ok so is the starter. Then whats the main issue or cause of it not starting
The starter was bad. Just showing the steps to diagnose the issue.
I found your video extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. May I ask you a question or two? Please
Yes, absolutely
Thank you so much. The steps you explained was very clear and it saved me a lot of time for diagnosing my bike starter problem. Video as well as audio were very clear. This is how one should make a video. Thanks once again.
No problem, glad I could be of help.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Graham Felipe instablaster :)
@Allan Uriah i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Allan Uriah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
Great breakdown
Thank you.
I have a lexmoto Valletta 125 was working fine but now when try an start it it wont start its fireing over like it wants to but just wont start any ideas thanks
Most likely your starter clutch, or not getting spark.. Will it start up when you kick-start it?
Hey man nice vid, so the ground that is connected to the frame goes where? It’s the ground that connects with battery negative on the Frame , where does it connect to?
Thank you. The ground on the frame connects to the Cylinder head valve cover.
My Start Stop switch doesn't do anything. No clicking noise. New battery; new solenoid. Electrick Shifter button doesn't work either.
But head lights do. What could be causing this???
Very rarely the switch goes bad, but it does happen. Do you have a kick starter on the bike?
First and foremost great video you don't know how much you save me it just happened to me the other day and I did it myself it took a little bit of time but now I got a bike that up and running you definitely got a new subscriber here
Darryl, Thank you so much! So happy that you were able to get your bike back up and running. People like yourself remind me that helping others is the only reason I started my channel. So welcome to the family!
Thank you very much, I have the same problem with my Suzuki Thunder 250 but I don't have a spare starter yet to try. But at least you made me believe that my starter may be bad even if it does work free on a battery outside of the engine. I was scared of thinking that I have something clogged in the engine however the engine starts very normal with the Kickstart.
I hope there is a way to contact you personally to tell you what I did that led to this situation.
Thank you very much in advance.
No problem. You can contact me through email. Kachiskid@gmail.com
Thx man, i hope you did show us how to test the selenoid.
No problem Farok, I couldn't find anything when I was searching on my problem, so I knew I had to make this video. Just looking to help out.
I buy a second use scooter cy6 and it doesnt even make click sound, after chaning my battery everything works but only not the eletric starter it doesnt even make click sounds....???
Yes, the other thing that can go bad in this situation is the button is burned out. You need to check you starter button wiring and replace if necessary. I knew that wasn't my problem, but did check before starting filming this video. Does the bike start with the kick starter?
You are awesome...great info
I really appreciate that!
ok so i got a wicked 50 been sitting for over a year. just got a battery and the starter is ticking. should i replace my starter probably?? you got me believing i need to
Sitting over a year? Yeah, sounds like you should get a starter, and solenoid just in case.
hi, I have the same problem, I was think my problem is the starter motor,but is not bechouse I put the new one and still the same proble,also we tryd the new battery and also do not wont to work, but still clickink , maybe the problem is the solanoid? hmm what do you think?
Time for some measurement from a multimeter. The only other thing I think it could be, is the solenoid or the electric starter button.
my gy6 scooter been sitting in few weeks when i hit the start button the starter motor turn very slow for few milliseconds and stops
Check you battery level. Or attempt to jump the bike. If doing it from a car battery, DON'T start the car.
Hey bro my scooter just got ok thank you so much because you said it could be spark plug after I replace the carburetor then later coil but you said it’s spark plug then I did just that and now I a filter and plug my headlights are out 1 of them turned but high beam was working and now I have no headlights should I order bulb or get the cheap light like fog lights
No problem bro, that's what I'm here for...as far as your lights, are both lights out? That might be your relay. That little tube that your light are connected to. It hard to tell without seeing the bike. Can you send me a video of the problem to email?
Sir I’ll record the video of my lights once I take a part and that I’ll probably will need 2 days thanks
No problem.
Great
The scooter was running ok but I feel like I have really low spark you think that’s an issue or you think I should make a video of everything I have done with it? So you can tell me where the problem is or do you think that’s the end of scooters life.
Quick question I got my scooter running. It kick start when it's cold but once I rode it for a while the thing doesn't wanna start back up. I changed the spark plug already
You need to check your carb., maybe needs to be cleaned? Make sure all your vacuum hoses have no cracks in them. Are you running a airbox or a pod filter? If an airbox, make sure it is connect securely to the carb. The bike started, so you are getting spark.
Airflow,change your airfilter..if its starts,ride for a while then die on stop signs or traffic lights..change your airfilter its too dirty to allow air in
Bro these people all cap. Change ur starting motor
Valves! always tweak them first. Then carb. Then whatever.
Check your coil
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
Thank you, this really helped to solve my bike problem! Starter solenoid was bad 😑
No problem brother. Enjoy your bike.
@trey henderson no problem brother... got to look out for my extended family.
nice vid showing diagnostic procedures, however they did'nt yield any information. Hung a starter and it worked. But we dont know why. But i digress, parts for these are stupid cheap and you can totally throw parts at them until they work again. An amp draw on the starter wold be great, youre little power pack, im sure produces much more power than the stocker battery. Wonder is the starter had a shorted winding, similar to an automotive failure that causes the illusion of a bad battery.
Well sorry you found it didn't yield any info....for you. Whatever the case, this video has helped countless others save money, and get their bike on the road. Maybe you could produce a better video. Either way my bike was repaired that day, and has never had the same problem since so....
@@kachiskid didn't mean disrespect. But like I said in my comment, we just don't know why. I happy it was an easy fix and it continues to perform as expected.
Really sorry Spencer, I have been under a lot of pressure in my personal, and professional life, and didn't speak to you right in that comment. I am currently attempting to complete a video that I started 3 days ago, but due to rancid weather will hopefully complete this morning. I sincerely apologize!
Thanks , was a great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it.
hi pal i know the vid is 3years old but my sinnis shuttle was just clicking when i tried firing it up. followed your video right down to the starter motor. taken it out and tried testing it there was no power too it at all so ive ordered a new one from CMPO which is coming tommorow ill report back if my scooter fires up once ive fitted it.
Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing if we fixed it.
@@kachiskid Good Afternoon pal. well it was a dead starter motor, started up first time. cuts out sometimes on idle but i think i need to tweak the idle switch just a little. but glad its back up and running again. your video really helped.
@@The-Gaming-Legend-1980 Glad to hear, and glad I was able to help.
So there was nothing wrong with the starter? What was the problem? How did you fix it?
Replaced my starter.
Hi! Can you help me, I have a scooter Conti ts125cs. At first it started with a clicking sound of a solinoid while starting it , I just taped the starter with a screwdriver and tried again it started... following day I try to start and it gave me dizzy noise like ZING!!ZING!! from the engine like it's failing to turn...I took out the starter tested it and it's working....did a research and usually it's a starter Bendix...so I opened from the Bell housing side but I didn't find that starter Bendix so I was about to go for the stator side but I saw a video on RUclips and I don't see it. Because I wanted to find it and try to lubricate it!.......I'm confused can you please help me!!!
Do you think it could be your starter clutch? I have replaced mine twice, before going to an expensive Taida name brand. Does it sound like this, at the very start of this video? ruclips.net/video/RujjyNothfU/видео.html
your diagnosis told you that the starter motor was working. .. .but you replaced it anyway ?
It was filled with oil, and failed on the bike. Fixed my problem.
Great explanation, I think perhaps though you should include trying to kick-start the scooter as part of the troubleshooting process after checking the voltage from the solenoid because the engine could be seized. That would cause the exact same symptoms.
Yes sir. My kickstarter was broken out of the gate. My bike is famous for not having one. I always suggest to others with a kickstarter as you did.
Glad I came across your video. I was getting mine and my wife's scooters that have gy6 ready to sell as we don't use them in the last few years, Mine was fine started right up, but her's just clicked, first thing I checked battery it it good, so I knew it had to be starter or solenoid (it kick starts fine though) and it had the same exact click as on your video. But with your guidance on checking the solenoid I found that to be the problem, I tapped it a little and the starter kind of went but not enough to start it. Glad you had this trouble shooting video for this particular problem and even though it clicks it still could be starter or solenoid as I found out. Thanks!
No problem. Sorry your not riding anymore but your buyer will be very happy, I'm sure. Glad I was able to help.
Yes it did thank you, philly. Just got one gsr 150cc, and thats what it's doin so in gonna try it n let you know.
Sounds good, make sure to check the voltage.
Thanks for this video. I have a Znen Vista that the starter looks like it has quite a bunch of oil that came out of it. I'll definitely be buying a new one off Amazon as Well as a solenoid, just in case it has gone bad. I've had quite a few electrical issues with my bike. I'm just glad this looks to be easy that an idiot like me can fix. Lol. You saved me at least $400
No problem Erik. Make sure that you have a multimeter, it will help out tremendously on most electrical issues. Hmmmm, Znen's I hear are pretty reliable bikes, sorry you are having a problem with yours. If you have any questions, I will try to help, if I can.
I do have one concern... I did get my bike started using the kickstarter and noticed that the battery was at about a little more than half of what it usually is. Is it because it's not running off the solenoid or alternator?
I did order a new starter and solenoid and hopefully it goes smoothly and I don't fuck it up.
@@erikpetrie637 I don't think you will mess it up. Do you have a battery tender? Our bikes don't really have an alternator, but it's a stator under your cooling fan that keeps the battery charged when the bike it running. The bike wouldn't even start it not connected to the solenoid and the stator.
Take a reading off the battery with multimeter, before going for a ride... take a nice long ride if you can...measure the battery again, if the battery hasn't increased even a little, then you might need a new one.
@@kachiskid thank you again so much for this video. I just finished putting the new starter and solenoid on. It started right up. The thing you mentioned with the battery, it's still a little bit low but I think after I drive it a little bit it should go up. I've had the bike for a little over a year so the battery should still be okay I'm hoping. I'm just glad I was able to fix this problem by myself and not paid some overpriced shop in the Bay Area to fix it for an astronomical price.
@@erikpetrie637 That my friend, is all I can ask, no problem. Happy scootering...
Watch your video, it helped tremendously.. ordered a starter n solenoid combo for bout $21.60 amozon. Started rite up when I installed it myself.
Saved a few bucks. Thankx
No problem Amon, glad I could help.
Hi mate just wondering if you would be able to help me out I have just watched one off your videos and it might help me but I have a starting problem with my quad if you can help ASAP please
Yup, send your questions to my email kachiskid@gmail.com
Good job explaining it bro
Thank you very much. Very early video, but very successful.
So I have a GY6 150cc with a big bore kit taking it up to 171cc. Scooter Tuning wants $120 for a starter but I see other 150cc starters on Amazon for $20. Is there a difference? How do I know what to buy?? Your video is awesome and super easy to view. Thanks bro
Thank you. The $120 starter is most likely a high torque starter. Word on the street is anything over a 150cc (such as your 171cc, and above) need a high torque. I have one but only because I don't have a kick starter on my bike. Before changing it, my original starter didn't have a problem starting my bike. I didn't notice anything special with the high torque starter either.
What's up kid I re-watch this video because a buddy of mine apparently is having the same issue I told him about you so he can check it out I do have a question what brand fuel lines are you using apparently I have been buying crap because after two weeks it looks like they shrink just a little question thanks bro catch you on the next one
I only use Helix fuel lines. amzn.to/2Z9ui9p
@@kachiskid thank you man I appreciate that a lot thanks for getting back with me you stay safe up there we're trying to do the same down here
@@andyproctor3588 Thanks brother, please stay safe and healthy! Mask up!
I have a Honda trx 450er and my quad would make this weird noise and wouldn’t start up.
I took it to the shop paid 500$ for a new starter clutch. But the problem was still there but very little.
I also got a new battery. ANYONE know what it could be ? Please help
Like in the video, the solenoid, possible corrosion on your cables or your starter. Starting clutch issue makes a different noise when going.
iv'e only ever worked on 2 gy6's both starter's mounts were different than yours . also both motors brushes ''caked'' over armature contacts and needed just cleaning . however also discovered both would spin backwards making bendix useless due to brush wire shorting out on can . fixed by loosening screw glued in piece of rubber band between . And now i know what/how to check solenoid issue . thnx . Kachi's Kid
No problem Sydney.
Nice trouble shooting...My starter relay just clicks I have measured with my multi meter and get the same reading as you did. No change. I did remember testing the starter a few months back with 12 volts and like yours, it does spin. I am trying to locate a video which might cover the DF125
Thank you. Make sure that you have no corrosion on any connections. Sorry, not familiar with the DF125. Is it a dirt bike?
@@kachiskid Actually it's a DF200GKF. It's a Go Cart. I have the CM6321-R starter relay and also a solenoid.
Kid thank you for your video thanks to your video I installed it my starter today and everything went so well thank you I've never seen her turn on so fast like she did soon as I installed it thank you again kip making video like this
No problem bro, you know I most def. I am looking out for you.
i have kymco movie 125, can u do a 4 stroke piston replament video? i'm willing to pay for that 70$ for that!
Check out this video, and see if it helps... ruclips.net/video/a9dFMH7OHcs/видео.html
Been trouble shooting my scooter starting problem and being it has starter connection to switch and harness too coil and grounded to bike with direct current from battery from switch I'm gonna try to spin starter as you to see if starter work and if not I will go and break down on a purchase of starter .I'm almost sure switch and wire wires are good to batter and coil so it must be starter! Thanks for vide .
No problem AJ. Good luck.
I have the same problem, I’ve checked all the connections, I’ve changed the starter relay, when I take out from the engine the motor starter is spinning, when I’m putting it back it doesn’t move
Any ideas what could be the problem?
My motorcycle is a Yamaha virago 535 94’
Make sure there are no corrosion on any connections. Did you try another starter motor?
@@kachiskid I’ve checked the connections, everything seems to be fine, I find it very wired because is the starter motor is spinning when is outside the engine and when I place it back it doesn’t make any sound wich makes me think the starter is not the problem, I believe it would make a sound trying to spin when in inside the engine
Thanks for explaining in detail what those parts were and how they work and the different options for fixing it. Saved me 200 bucks man. Need that dough to eat and pay for tuition in the tech course.
Panic, thanks bro. That is exactly what I want my videos to do, make a difference. Good luck on the tech course!
thanks fot the video man...but i still dont understand why the faulty starter spinned when connected direct to the battery?
i was hoping that if the starter is the problem then it wont run even when connected directly.
Please help me with this
You know E, I thought the same thing. so this is my theory...The oil that got into the starter didn't allow it it to spin while on the bike. I would almost bet that when you hit the starter button your not getting a whole 12.6+ volts directly to the starter. When I had it connect to the jumper that is direct voltage with nothing in the way. It's gonna spin under that load as long as it isn't broken or jammed. I think the starter was just weak. You know when people hit their starters with a screwdriver and getting them to work kind of thing. Ain't nobody doing all that, when it can be replaced for cheap. Also I have a 171cc engine, I'm suppose to have a high torque starter..
This was really helpful and made the process look very approachable!!
Love hearing that. Helping out 6 years and counting.
the problem was most likely the circuit does not close. I'd try fiddling with the ground of the solenoid first.
Yeah, I bought a whole new solenoid before I started, that wasn't the problem.
we have a vitacci rocket that did this after 6 months of use (bought brand new). we changed out the starter and it didnt work. we sent to a shop and they changed the solenoid. it worked for literally one week and now we are back to where we were. Why would it continue to do this? what can i do to prevent it?
Amber, do you have a multimeter? The most important part of this video is measuring the voltage going through the individual components. To really answer that question I would have to get your readings off the battery, solenoid, and starter. Those numbers tell you everything you need to know. Do you ride in the rain? How are your road conditions?
@@kachiskid i do but havnt tested any of those. my son ride's it but not in the rain due to sliding and 3 lay downs. we live in a city, so typical roads (no gravel or dirt).
Whoa...3 lay downs? Have your son look at the video again, use the multimeter and take some measurements of each part. He also needs to make sure all his ground wires are secure. (green)
I do want to comment.
Thanks for the video. I liked it. 👍🤠
Thank you for liking the video, hope it helps.
fack, if i had seen this video yesterday i would save 40$ payed to the machanic to show me where the stater is located
Sorry about that, stick with me, you will be able to fix your own bike and save that $$$.
Very good video! Thank you. I'm currently troubleshooting for my Honda CBR600RR. Got the dreaded "click" one day so I replaced the Relay Solenoid and still has issues. I can push start her consistently and ride for hours, and sometimes she'll start up the next day sometimes back to the click. The battery charges during riding and stays charged (rules out stator). I guess I could try testing the starter thanks to this!
No problem. I would replace the solenoid and the starter just in-case. Also check for corrosion.
@@kachiskid thanks for reply!
@@MapleSyrup9181 no problem.
Hey kid I have a 05 kymco venox 250 motorcycle.my first bike..the engine cranks no start..I am not getting any sparks ..could it be the ingtion coils
...
Hey Frank, I had to look this one up. But this is what I found with a no spark situation on this bike.
Possible failure of the ignition unit. you need to trace the voltage to the coil, the trigger voltage if absent then the ignition system is defective. Check the input and also the 12 volt to the coil , if coil is heating it can be faulty.
I'm just going to start by saying this so it doesn't waste your time if you get this message more than one week after it's posted just don't even bother with replying it's going to waste your time I'm needing an answer quick I'm not saying you have to give me one quickly I'm just saying by chance if you happen to get notified of the comment
"So how was the starter bad whenever you took it off the bike grounded it and then put the positive on and it's fun I mean I'm not quite sure how that actually works I mean I went ahead and bought a brand new starter put it on it does not start and I'm believing it's the decomp solenoid it reads 12 volts to the solenoid starter starts off the bike and being as it's a new one haven't found any weird electrical Gremlins except for my neutral light which of course I know different bikes different diagrams but I'm just curious because I need to find out if the decomp solenoid is bad or if it's the relay because I'm not too sure at this time but I have ruled out the handlebar starter switch
The starter had a lot of oil in it, that was drained before the bench test. It's possible that under nothing to turn, the starter had enough power to spin, but couldn't turn my motor over (171cc). This was kinda and take a chance and see approach. I knew I had to fix the bike or it was a death of the channel. The voltage regulations I learned the night before filming. I also knew because of working on cars for 30 years what to look for, and played "process of elimination". I do know this was well after, but I did upgrade my electrical wiring running from the battery up to the solenoid, just in case.
A battery can NOT be measured by testing voltage. It MUST be under load to measure amps. (POWER)
Yup.
OK mine is not clicking or turning over but it only makes a noise sound a mobile call that vibrates. What to do if I changed the solenoid, starter motor. Got no reading from battery maybe that's the problem? I'm hoping its not the stator?
No reading from the battery, at all? Swap that out right away. You need a little a little voltage ⚡.
The negative side i only read like 4v and the positive showed me 11.9 and i just changed out the solenoid so means the solenoid isn’t the problem just change the starter ?
What are the measurements on the new solenoid?
You're not showing the solenoid positive or negative for how it's hooked up
From what I remember it should be labeled. Just replace it exactly how it is on your bike currently.
Thank you
You're welcome.
where did you get your new starter need one for 2017 kymco agility 50
Amazon, but I have a 150/171cc. We don't use the same one, but here is one for a 50cc. amzn.to/3aoQlPs
at first i throught it was the solonoid but thats trying to do something when i bridged my screwdriver over the 2 bolts to get it to fire so looks like that is fine. im just wondering if the starter motor is really clogged up with oil as the bike was stood for like 6months but did fire up then stopped straight away with the click noise
Make sure all your contact points are all clear of corrosion.
Great video I’m going to definitely try this cause I’m getting that same click
Thank you, what can you lose? Not gonna make it any worst. lol.
Exellent video thankyou, regards, steve uk
No problem Stephen, Thank you, my brother from across the pond!
Okay but what is problem when the solenoid clicks ?asking cuz i have a new battery new starter new mag still the solenoid clicks
As stated at the 1st part of the video, normally 1 of 3 things...battery, solenoid, or starter. Could also be the positive cable running up to the solenoid.
Thank you
No problem.
That was awsome! I have a small amount of oil coming from starter and just clicks some times!
Now I know the problem👍👍
Glad it helped!
The road side low tech way to test a solenoid is to turn on ignition & use an insulated screwdriver or jumper cable to connect both posts of the solenoid to see if starter engages,... If it does by forcing the bridge this way then the solenoid is bad :)
The man speaks the truth, thanks David.
@@kachiskid
Cheers brother, love your stuff :)
@@davidlomm4424 Thank you, young man. Keep watching... gonna debut a pretty good looking bike soon.
I have a question if the starter. Begins to go bad with that. Cause your scooter to shake and buck and Lose power And shut off.
No, starter has nothing to do with your power. Sounds electrical. Shaking sounds like rollers, and your clutch need to be checked.
I used this video to replace my starter as well btw. ty again
No problem.
Mine tries to start but eventually just clicks. Starts ok with kick start
I wish I could but mine has no kick starter. Can you start it by shorting out the solenoid?
Thanks
No problem.
My scooter clicks also, but it is not one or two clicks. It is a constant clicking like you put a credit card on a bike spokes as it spins, but the engine will not turn. Is that rhe start problem also?
I would have to hear it. Record it and send to kachiskid@gmail.com
Let me know when you sent it.
My son’s brand new go kart is not starting. I am just so upset man.
Don't be, we can get it together. Is the engine turning over? Are you getting spark? Is it brand new?
Thank you! You're a gentleman and a scholar!
I'm having similar troubles with my artic cat side x side.
No problem, and thank you!
Thanks, just got my taotao 150cc out of winter storage. New oil. Gear oil, belt, variator rollers. Ready for the test ride and she won't fire up. I am sure it leads to the starter. The great thing is parts are so cheap you don't really have to diagnose. Just replace parts until you get it right. You can get a GY6 motor, brand new each spring for $300. I will be doing this sooner than later. I ride 7000 miles a year. That is a couple drive belts and 7 oil changes. No other maintenance required. Maybe an air filter. Then new motor next year.
Nice. How long have you had your bike and what model?
Sir, this was the best advice ever received. Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Great vid.. i honestly think u just had a corroded connection @ starter.. always a lil grease helps trmendously against corroded connections.
I would have teasted the cable, then the positive stud on starter. But hey, its running... all is good.😊
Thank you, you could be right, but with the seal was broken. It wasn't gonna be long before it needed to be replaced.
Thanks alot bo. Helped me with my problem 4 sure👍👍
That's what I like to hear! No problem.
Aye man I really need some help with my taotao atv I know the same principles apply from this video since it’s basically the same wiring. So my question was I don’t know if my starter solenoid is bad since I got my readings 10 volts from battery and the positive side the same 10 volts but when I try starting it it won’t crank all I get is a clicking and I only get 2 volts from the other tower (negative side) of the solenoid but when I jump the battery it starts right up I don’t know if it’s my battery that needs a charge or if the solenoid is bad since I think the 2 volts are way to low of a reading from the negative side but any suggestions thank you
No problem, when you measure your battery alone, what is the voltage? We need at least 12.6 or above. 2 volts doesn't seem quite right, as you know. If your battery is good, yes I would change out the solenoid. Always good to have a backup just in case.
@@kachiskid when I measured just the battery alone the reading was about 10.5 volts but the negative side of the starter solenoid only gives about 2 volts when trying to start it I will try charging the battery out of the quad and if it the solenoid still gives 2 volts then I will replace it but hopefully it is just the battery needing a charge
@@elcuh7939 Yeah throw the batt. on a charger. We have to have at least 12.6 to start the bike. That is why you are able to jump it with no problem.
@@kachiskid I have charged my battery and checked the volt readings after a full charge and I am getting enough volts to the starter and it started right up the first time but my starter is making a weird grinding noise like if it’s getting stuck and won’t crank when it does that so I might have to end up replacing it but thank you man I really appreciate the help
@@elcuh7939 No problem, you did good.
Mine is turning over but won't start can you help me try to get it back on and running?
Are you getting spark? Have you tired starter fluid?
this is exactly the video i needed! thank you!
That is exactly what I like to hear. We both win!
This was the best. You covered everything and no wasted time. Thanks
Thank you, and no problem.
Is this battery from a dongfang DF50sst? If so that's the same backup battery I have its a dong jin battery if you have a DF50 those are awesome lol
I didn't have a great experience with my stock battery, I am currently using a lithium Shorai.
I actually had the same problem. But only after about 2500 miles. After that it didn't start the bike correctly and I had to buy an $80 new battery at AutoZone. Which worked for only another 1200 miles. But other than that I didn't have any issues. But to be fair every moped I've bought had a battery issue except one
Need to *show* where you're putting the multimeter probes, attachments.
Bro, really....lol. Not here to micro manage, just to help people with a problem. Which I've done in spades.
@@kachiskid
Did a 180 degree turn with your edit.
Verbal explanation is ok. Now, complete the picture (pun intended) by actually showing what and where to attach the probes for those viewers unfamiliar with the components and wiring which is why they're watching in the first place, rather than leave them guessing for two and half minutes what's what before turning *off* the video. Waste of your and their time.

@@johannsmithe2570 Nice write-up, but I'm going to counter with this.. this is the first time of me hearing about not being able to see what I'm doing. If anything that is what my videos feature, exactly what I'm doing. The 2,000 likes and all the comments of people who were able to fix their bikes proves this! With the understanding that this is a huge world and everybody is not going to be satisfied, I hope you find what you're looking for in your continued search.

You still don't get it.
Want more views, likes and subscribers?
Then, from the two and half minutes watched of this video show what you're talking about.
@@johannsmithe2570 No don't think you get it. I'm good on the likes, subscribers, views, and revenue that I get. At no point in any of my videos do you hear me begging for views or subs.Out of 143 videos, we are doing pretty good over here. When produced this video was the first-of-its-kind. We got this, but thank you anyway.
Dam can someone help me? My moped is turning over but wont start.
You need to check if your getting spark.
Thanks. This video was extremely helpful. Im having the same issue and just found out that my starter solenoid I’d bad. I’m going to replace it,but will a bad solenoid cause the bike to shut down while in motion and not be able to be push started?
No problem. Push started? What kind of bike is this?
A k8 gsxr 750
I was thinking it’s either one of these 3 things in the vid or the rectifier
@@Doflamingo11 yup, the test pretty much works for any bike. By no means am I a motorcycle pro but some bikes have the solenoid attached to the starter. I have seen many video's on that rectifier going out, so you are right...it one of them.
Any idea if the bike would just turn off while in motion if the starter motor went out?
so what did u do actually? U took out the starter, ran it separately and put it back? Thats it?
replaced it.
I replaced my starter but my quad won’t start
Not nearly enough info. I don't know what your original problem was? You might not be getting spark.
My scooter is turning over but want crank at all and I have brand new everything on what I need to do
Your not getting spark most likely, check for spark.
I have a 150cc yesterday it ran pretty good I try to give us some gas and it fell on the ground didn't want to start so why open up the inside and my air filter connector was unloose I put it back together the bike was starting up and then it cut off not trying to start it up today it just making the starting noise and every time I press the starter button my battery gauge go all the way down Eva the gas hand go all the way down but when I drop my bike I had a half tank of gas now is all the way at 4 tank of gas but I don't have that much gas in my gas tank can you please help me out and let me know what can I do
Real talk, check your battery connections, and your grounds. Was this a brand new scooter that you put together?
Can you kick-start it?
Can someone help me. Mine clicks exactly how it dose in the video and the lights and horn work so it’s not the battery. But mine is only a 50cc
Then the problem is either the solenoid or the starter. Short out solenoid with a a screwdriver to see if it cranks, if you do get a spark then replace the starter.
Kachi's Kid thank you, it did spark but still didn’t turn on
So the engine is attempting to kick over? So it seems the solenoid is good. Do you have a starter that you can swap out?
Kachi's Kid no the engine doesn’t do anything, the solenoid just starts to click and click
@@cristian112800 could you make a short video and send it to kachiskid@gmail? When you kick start does the engine turn over?
My scooter just keep turning over but it won't start it's a 150cc
Check for spark.
So if the starter was ok, why did you put a new one in? why didn't the old one start the bike? just wondering.
The old starter wasn't okay, it was the problem because oil killed the seals in the old one. I recently bought another because I thought it was my problem. Attempted to send back and would have to pay $7 in shipping, better to keep them for $16.

I need help with my baby 👶 head light don't work 😫
Ok. What is going on? Did the bulb burn out? Did you change your stator? Wiring problem, you think?
I would replace the headlight. Mine just recently went out
Mine spins when jumped, but when reconnecting to my atv It would work for 2-3 sec cranking then go back to just clicking on the solenoid (tried a new one too).
After that I cleaned the wire from solenoid to starter and now it came white smoke from it. Wire is a lill too short imo etc. Maybe I need a new wire as it seemed twisted a lot
Seems like you have a short in one of the wires. Clean the contacts for the starter also.
@@kachiskid thanks for reply! appreciate it!! yeah.. changed new wire now and will try! cleaned all contacts, tight and new wire
@@kachiskid FUCKYEAH! it worked!! new cable from starter to solenoid was bent and not good. NOW IT RUNS :D. thanks dude!!!
@PwndersWoW Bro, no problem. I'm glad I could help you get back to those streets.
@PwndersWoW No problem. I always reply, don't let this be the last time I hear from you.
If it’s still clicking from the solenoid with the starter off is that normal?
yes.
we can't see wires and clips when you join. pls correct it in future videos
I'm sorry, not sure what you mean.
Another potentially helpful tip, check the starter bendix and the starting gear or "pulley" with the teeth the bendix matches to turn the engine over.
Good tip.
@@kachiskid thanks
No problem brother.
