Got it working!! The problem was lose connection in the solenoid and starter motor was busted. Thanks everyone who helped!

Thanks, I'll try it after a sec.
I figured out that I could start the bike by attaching wires directly from the battery to the starter motor, and give it a little spark. The only problem is the starter motor gear stays 'inside', theres like one inch gap between the gears.

Multimeter showed 12,5v for the battery, the voltage would have appeared lower if the battery was bad.

The manual doesn't say anything, but how to change oil etc.. I got 'motorcycle mechanics guide'. I'm not gonna take it to the service, unless I'm left with no options. I don't feel like paying 50$ and up for just getting a starter to work.

I noticed that my lights go dim when I press the starter ...

The voltage for battery is 12,5v, but there's no voltage coming out of solenoid. I'm not sure if the solenoid is busted or not, but I thought to take the adapter, attach it to the red and black wires, and plug it in for a second, that would pass some electricity to the spark plug and to the other ...

Thats one of the problems, when I push the button I can hear the clicking sound, but I guess the electricity gets lost somewhere along the way, so it doesn't even reach the spark plug.

Thats why I was thinking to 'imitate' the spark or find another way how to start the motor since both normal ways ...

I got an idea, but I have no idea if it will work and I won't screw something up. If I would take a 9v battery, fix wires to it and at the other end put them together, that would create a spark, and just stick the wires in where the spark plug was, to try to spark up the motor. Would that work?

Thanks!
I bought it used, there ware no stickers or anything about the model, but the brand is SunL. I heard they have a really bad reputation. Even finding a correct spark plug is a problem. I feel like I just waisted bunch of money.

As far as I know it's 2005. The motor is 4 stroke 50cc.

Hi!
The start button never worked, so I always used kick start, but yesterday thanks to the cheap aluminum case, the kick start broke off. Since there's nothing I can do about the kick start, I tried to figure out whats wrong with the start button. I can hear the click when I press it.

Broken kick ...

Hi!
I got this scooter, 49,5cc, I'm not a fan of scooters, so I was thinking to take it apart and put everything in a mountain bike or dirt bike frame. I want to make it lighter, because when it goes uphill, it's like a joke. I saw some people on youtube have done it: http://youtube.com/watch?v ...
