    I tried the fuel flush and it still won’t start.

    I put the pinion spring in the correct position and it definitely needs new teeth and so does the driver disc and one tooth is also damaged.

    I don’t think that’s the issue though as the bike should still start egatdless of those tetthbusing the electric start right? Plus the kick start does work a little...

    Yeah it should start. Try a new spark plug. It's the cheapest thing to try.

    What if it’s a fuel issue? But not the choke because a second hand auto choke was recently fitted so that can be eliminated...

    A second hand auto choke doesn't guarantee its working.

    No because it was fitted by a moped garage recently as I said and they wouldn’t replace a part that was going to fail within a week or two...

    It's an electrical part. No guarantee.
    I've taken new ones out and they've not worked.
    I've been doing this for a whole lot of years.

    I won’t be changing that as I just don’t think a part that was changed by a professional garage would fail literally within a week or two of being replaced. I’d bet money on it.

    After I change the Kickstarter parts I don’t know what I’m going to do as I doubt it will start after that’s done...

    I don’t mind taking off the whole rear fairings and seat and seat pan etc... in order to get to the engine but I don’t know what to check from there to make it work...

    What I need is someone with mechanical experience to come and fix it or to help me fix it but a permanent fix not like the other two cowboys I took it to who fixed it only
    For it to stop working again within a few days!

    Like I said. Try a new plug, it's easy and like 30 percent of the time it's the problem.

    I’ve purchased an nil plug that says it is compatible. Plus my spark plug cover says ngk in it so that’s encouraging.

    However I tested my current spark plug by grounding it and it was producing a spark also as I said that’s not it. May have wasted £2.18 for the new plug.

    Also, can someone Pleqse send me a link to the parts I need as I’ve searched everywhere and contacted loss of places and no one has it!

    It’s the:

    Kickstarter Pinion (can I use the same spring as this will save me money as the current one looks fine and it’s just the pinion teeth that are damaged not the spring which is fine?)

    Kickstarter driver disc

    I don’t need the shaft just the Kickstarter disc but if it comes welded to the Kickstarter shaft then I have no choice but to get both.

    This is for a 2001 aprilia mojito custom 50cc moped.

    Thanks!

    It's not wasted. It's the cheapest thing to test and the first thing I would change as a mechanic.
    You are getting free professional advice here don't complain!
    Can't really help with where to get the parts, but it's a pretty common engine, Suzuki use it in the estillete and errrr... Katana? I think? It's called a Morini can't recall if it's moto Morini or just Morini.
    The kick start parts are the same if it's liquid or air cooled.

    LMFAO. You must be joking! Free professional advice? You’ve got some nerve!

    Tbh nothing that has been said here has helped me in the slightest. Everything I’ve done I would of done anyway.

    I’m just going to call the mechanic and tell him it’s not working...

    I have enjoyed reading this post up to the end as having issues myself. However I cannot believe how ungrateful you are that people have tried to help you despite the fact it may or may not have worked. Fixing a problem like yours is all about trial error and crossing off the things you have tried. Just because someone's advice or ideas hasn't worked it isn't useless. Its just narrowing down the possibilities u til you get to the root of the problem.
