Hi,

I have a SYM 125cc scooter, and i see i have a very small leak.
I think it's more like oil vapors that are accumulated on top of the starter.

Probably a bad O-ring on the starter. i would like to try and replace that O-ring.
Anyone have a clue on the size of this O-ring?
I would like to buy it before i take the starter off the engine.

Thank you.

Just buy an O ring kit. Amazon has them for around $20.

If you don't want to spend the extra cash, take off the starter motor and take it with you to an auto parts store.

I was hoping maybe someone have one of these O-ring and can measure it,
or maybe already replaced it in the past and remember the size.
I prefer not to take off the starter motor before i know i can buy this kind of O-ring here.

Just remove the two bolts then wiggle it out.

Aren't they above the engine and outside of the oil system?
