How to fix Moped Bendix

[mopedguy]

I have been working on my Dadogs Dado-GS D50QT-11 for about a week now trying to get it started, the problem is that my bendix was slipping on the 14 tooth gear at the end the rotator cuff normally spins in 1 direction for retraction but mine was spinning in both directions under high torque, I don't have the kickstarter assembly the previous owner removed it. My solution to this problem was to take a socket a bit larger than the rotator cuff and place it over the back of it,
_ _
|½|
|--| <---- socket

__|_|__ <----- end of bendix shaft
|------| <---- bearings slip inside when torqued
(((|)))

then i took a trusty hammer and beat the hell out of the top of it gave it about 15 good whacks, then it wouldn't spin in either direction. I was like oh shit i ruined it. Then i put some PB blaster lubricant inside of it you could just use oil if that's all you have, and i grabbed the rotator cuff with a pair of pliers and grabbed the gears with another set of pliers then i began twisting, and twisting until it loosened up enough to spin it with my hands then i put the assembly back together with all the little snap rings and springs and gyro cuffs all that stuff, now it only spins in one direction like it should and I get it to start every time, without an extra 3 or 4 attempts and that annoying whirring grinding noise!!!!!!!

This is my only form of transportation and it failed on me at the worst possible time, right before i had to go to my 2nd day of training for a new job. it totally sucked ass they rescheduled me and I had all this spare time to brain bust on that little bastard of a bendix. Now that i got it working I have to change my oil and spark plug, My moped is a 50cc and for some reason it goes way over the 10 on the rpm meter and i can go 55 on the interstate. LOL then when i stop and park it dies by itself and i have to recharge the battery. definetly needs a new spark plug.

sparkplug is a type z9y champion.

I put 15W50 in it also because of the high heat.

When all else fails, use the BFH tool!!!

Glad to hear you got it up and running again!

dont use 15w-50 it made my scooter run poorly, kept stalling and sputtering and don't use any other spark plugs besides champion cause the other kind will burn out your distributor cable slowly.
