OLIFANT GY6 50cc Starter Kit — 12V Starter Motor, 10T Bendix & Relay Solenoid (70mm Mount)

OLIFANT's complete starter kit provides a 12V electric starter motor, matching Bendix drive, and relay solenoid built for GY6 49cc–50cc (139QMB/QMA) Chinese scooters.

If your small-displacement scooter struggles to crank or needs a replacement starter group, this kit supplies the main electrical components required to restore reliable engine starts. Designed for popular Chinese-built GY6 platforms and compatible with many makes such as Taotao, Roketa, and Kazuma, the parts arrive together so you can swap the motor, starter drive, and solenoid at once. The kit aims to reduce battery stress by using an internal geared reduction, delivering steady torque with lower current draw.

How does this starter kit restore a non-cranking scooter?

The starter motor contains an internal gear reduction and a 10-tooth Bendix that engages the engine flywheel. When you press the start button, the relay activates the motor, pushing the Bendix forward to turn the engine over. Replacing all three components at once eliminates mismatch between a new motor and an old worn solenoid or drive.

• 12V starter motor with internal reduction gears for steady torque
• 10-tooth Bendix starter drive that meshes with GY6 flywheels
• Starter relay solenoid to switch battery power cleanly to the motor
• Mounting hole spacing: 70 mm (2-3/4") to fit standard GY6 housings

Will this fit my scooter model and what should I check before ordering?

Compatibility targets GY6 139QMB/QMA 4-stroke engines commonly found in 49cc–50cc scooters and many 60–80cc variants. Before purchasing, compare the kit’s pictured parts to your existing assembly and confirm mounting hole spacing and the number of Bendix teeth. Ensuring the electrical connector style and physical dimensions match prevents fitment issues.

• Fits many Chinese moped brands including Yamoto, Taotao, and Redcat
• Confirm 10T Bendix and 70 mm hole spacing against your unit
• Check that the solenoid terminals and motor plug match your wiring
• Visual comparison of the posted photo with your old parts is recommended

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is typically straightforward for someone comfortable with basic scooter maintenance: remove the engine cover, unbolt the old starter, swap the Bendix and relay, and reconnect wiring. Moderate mechanical skill and a few hand tools are all that’s required; no specialized equipment is necessary for most GY6 applications. If you’re unsure, a local small-engine mechanic can complete the job quickly.

• Common tools: socket set, screwdrivers, pliers, and torque wrench
• Typical time: 30–90 minutes depending on access and experience
• Basic electrical checks with a multimeter recommended after install
• Professional help advised if access requires engine removal

What are the key specifications and performance considerations?

The motor operates at 12 volts and uses internal gears to balance starting torque and battery draw, making it suitable for frequent urban start-stop use. The Bendix features 10 teeth and the mount uses 70 mm spacing; these mechanical details determine whether the drive engages correctly with your flywheel. The kit replaces three wear-prone components at once, reducing the need for repeat repairs caused by mismatched parts.

• Voltage: 12V for standard scooter electrical systems
• Bendix teeth: 10T for proper engagement with GY6 flywheels
• Mounting spacing: 2-3/4" (70 mm) to align with common housings
• Includes: starter motor, starter drive Bendix, starter relay solenoid

Who is this for? This OLIFANT starter kit is intended for owners and mechanics of GY6 49cc–50cc (and many 60–80cc) Chinese scooters who need a full replacement of the starting components. It’s ideal when an aging motor, a worn Bendix, or a failing solenoid causes slow cranking, intermittent starting, or visible starter damage. Riders who prefer a one-package fix to avoid part mismatches will find this kit convenient and cost-effective.
