well that worked. as you can see in the pictures the woodruff key was still in the shaft when removed from the flywheel. but closer inspection of the flywheel and crankshaft shows that the rusty area on the crank and the wear spot on the flywheel is what I think shows it was cracked for while and then finally went. that is what I think happened so I guess I had a bad crankshaft to start with.

was the shroud on the engine? If so I can't understand how the magneto fell off and rolled down the street, unless it broke up the shroud when the crank broke. Roy I forgot to say that the plastic fan/flywheel cover was broken allowing the flywheel to fall out. and the stator bolts where installed with loctite and torqued to 7ft lbs also the trigger to I don't recall right now something like 30 or 40 inch lbs and is still attached to the engine with no damage. trying to post pics from my computer but can't figure it out yet. |

When you changed the flywheel how did you tighten it ? Something is up with this problem . John with a 14mm socket on a torque wrench to 40 ft lbs. |

What work had you done on it, and how many miles on the scoot. Alleyoop work that has been done is change belt, replace magneto and flywheel. it has 4100 miles on it. |

I was riding when what I thought was a belt failure turned out to be the crankshaft snapped . I realized this while pushing the scooter home that something fell off it was the magneto wheel rolling down the road  . picked it up and found that the crank broke right at the back of the mag wheel is this common? my question is should I replace the crankshaft or look for a replacement engine. Thanks ![]() |

Hi all I have a baja sc50 that is hard to start cold or after sitting a few days. the problem are that I use the electric start and it will turn over forever without starting. but if I use the kick starter after three kicks engine fires right up. when the engine is warmed up using the electric
it starts right up for the rest of the day. I have adjusted the valves and charge in the battery. the coil and ignition are original could these be weak and need replacement? thanks Ed.
