So, my 150cc Chinese scooter has been acting like the battery in really low. I have been kick starting it for a couple of weeks. Today, the kick start level disengaged so now I'm really stuck. I got a battery charger, but according to the meter it's fully charged. I let it charge a little anyway and put it back on. Starter turns weakly for a second or two, then clickclick, then nothing. The headlamp stays on. Do I need a new starter or is something else going on?

Yeah,the battery was off the scooter, I might let it trickle charge for a while just to be sure...

I was actually thinking about trying a car battery and cables. Wasn't sure if that was safe. It's ok to do? With engine off I assume?

Thanks a lot. Yeah,the battery was off the scooter, I might let it trickle charge for a while just to be sure... I was actually thinking about trying a car battery and cables. Wasn't sure if that was safe. It's ok to do? With engine off I assume? Thanks a lot.

Good to know.. I'll try that in the morning and then maybe I'll know more what I'm dealing with. Thanks for the advise. I need to keep this thing running at least until I buy my new Aprilia in Oct!

Best,
