1984 Nifty 50 AF06 Starter Motor Dead
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2019 5:51 pm
Hi all, first post and its going to be annoying because I know this topic has been beat to death but I just can't find what I am after.
I'm based in New Zealand and buy/fix up old scooters, occasionally get my hands on whats usually called a "Nifty 50" or "Eve" but is essentially a Spree right?
This particular one is a 1984 with an AF06 chassis code - no kick start unfortunately. When I first got it the starter motor wouldn't even turn (turns out it got stuck on when a relay failed and 12v went through all the starter wires for quite some time (even warped the red side plastic).
When I first got it I got no action after fixing the wiring, I pulled the starter motor out (starter clutch seems OK) and cleaned it up as best I could...if I put 12v to it on my bench it does turn but not with a whole lot of power.
When trying to use it in the bike the second it pushes the starter motor clutch onto the main cog its over, no guts to start it.
Now being in New Zealand these are a fairly rare bike these days, parts even rarer. Starter motors are non existant so I plan on getting some kind of eBay copy...does anyone know one that is a direct fit? I've taken photos of mine and spent hours on eBay but I'm finding it fruitless...surely there must be some kind of cheap replacement because they want hundreds for new genuine Honda ones?
Please help me resurrect this beast!
This looks close but I suspect I'm wrong?
