Once in a while the starter just spins but doesn't turn the motor over. Is there a replaceable bendix drive in the starter? If so where do you get one? It's a 50cc Gator.

Sometimes the bendix gets gunked up from all of the belt dust in the CVT. Take it out and clean it with carb cleaner. Let it dry then lightly lubricate it with white lithium grease. If that doesn't help, replace it with a new one.

Removed cover and starter drive. Clened and lubed drive and blew out belt dust, pretty minimal. Lubed kick start and reassembled. Starter works every time now. Thanks for the info. This is my first venture into Chinese scooter world, these things are pretty cool, just a little too much plastic.

May also be a bit of rust.
When that happens, I just stop and start again. usually from the second or third time, the starter engages.
