help new build!! broken parts inside cover

[radrob]

my buddy has helped me on my 2 bike builds and we were doing a 3rd for him. 80cc china kit.
anyway we have no spark so after chainging out the cdi with 1 off my bike. we took off the side cover to look at the magneto and the center piece with the magnets( armature?) had sheered off and was in a few pieces. Is this fixable? I bought it off ebay. do i need a replacement motor or is the stud that mounted the armature replaceable.

That stud is the crankshaft and the only repair is to replace the crank. If your seller is an upfront guy he should replace the engine. If not you're screwed. This is why many of us shy away from ebay sellers. Stick with a reputable dealer, one who will stand behind his product. The advertisers here are all good people and there are others but I've heard too many horror stories about fast buck operators on ebay. Good luck.

I just realized what I was looking at. How in the heck did the magneto cover get broken like that? Was that done in shipping? Is that the way you got it? If so that little engine must have been dropped hard to break the end off the crank. Good Luck.

i bought my kit from BIKE BERRY they reply to emails every other day and have been helpful. they even decided for me to return my kit when i didn't even know what was wrong with it, for warranty. but after searching these forums i found out it was the inner clutch spring, then wrote them a letter via email telling them i did not need to send it back and what was wrong with it.

Good people their Great motor too

Very Fortunate. Let us know who your vendor is. It never hurts to pass on good words about a seller. Keep us informed on your progress.
