Anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for gy6150 (157QMJ) starter?
Would like to have the "brushes" but a full rebuild kit with o-rings, oil seal and brushes would be even better.

I have not seen kits to rebuild these starters, though they may exist. I think you would be best served by replacing the starter with a new one. If you look around, they are available at "somewhat" affordable prices. Changing one out is pretty easy, while taking one apart and re-assembling one is sort of a pain. I've done it, and I believe I would save up and just get a new one.
Just my opinion...

I just had to replace my starter with less than 2k miles on it, When I opened it up I found that what failed was actually the thick copper wire inside the casing going to the wire on the outside. It melted in 2.  |

Deja vu... My Xingyue did the same thing the third day after delivery... I removed the starter and took it apart, found the problem and fixed it... BUT... re-assembling the dang thing was a PIA... I'd rather pay for a new one and just change it out... On the "plus side" though, it was still working fine after nearly seven years!
Just my personal opinion...

PS: I found my original 150 fan-shroud if you need it.

oldchopperguy Thanks but naa don't bother my man. The cost of shipping it will be more than just buying a new one with the free shipping in my next order from partsforscooter.com Agreed on the starter! @ 39 bucks for a new one from the aforementioned web site it's just easier to buy a new one and know you have one that should last a good bit.
