Shanghai Meitian 50 cc

[moorso]

Hello all. My first post on this board and I have question I am hoping you might help me with. I am looking at a used 2006 Shanghai Meitian 50 cc scooter for sale. It runs okay, but has a hard time starting. Sounds like the starter is going, I'm no expert but that's what it sounds like. You have to hit the start button several times before the starter engages the motor. So my question is, would a new starter for these chinese made scooters be readily available? I dont want to spend a few hundred dollars only to find out I cant get a replacement starter for it, if that is the problem. Also, the headlight needs replacement. Would that be tough to find? Appreciate any help / advice you might have.

If it's the typical Chinese four-stroke, parts are readily available. Sounds like it may be a starter bendix. Even cheaper than the starter itself if that's what it is.

I'm not sure of the engine it has, but the majority are GY6 50 / 139QMB / QMB139. Search for those terms and check the vendors on the banner in our main page and you'll see lots and lots of parts.
