Hi all,
I have the 12 up for sale and I am fixing a few little niggles.
One is the estart. I have tea through this thread and have pulled mine out three times now.
I completely dismantled it the last time to stretch the spring holding the three little weight like pieces.
There is no spring in mine???
I reckon there was and it has broken and since been chewed up?
Either way, I need another starter setup.
Just wondering whether the $14 one worked?
Could someone please give me a link as to which one worked best?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

What exactly do you have to swap? Which parts do you take from the honda's and which from the gasgas' bendix?
-Obviously you will take the "Base" Part with the Pin and the big gear from gasgas.
-I asume the inside from the honda's
-And the top spring and cover? Honda? (The Honda spring looks weaker, which might also help)
Swap like this?

Here is a series of videos that tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the GG starter and how to fix it. This guy did an amazing job and these videos should be in a sticky.
If this info is already here forgive me, I missed it.

hi, I have the same problem on my gasgas ec 2015 the bendix wheel, all the gears are a place but not to cross over the gear wheel.
I also tried with the battery of the car but it does not work. some time ago I changed the gear with a piaggio scooter but I did not read about extending the spring. therefore if enlarged the spring that holds the weights could work.

Finally!
Finally found this thread! LOL I watched anesthesiadreamin's eight-part youtube video on the subject, but I couldn't remember the GGrider's member he named that he got all the info from.
Subscribing now before I even read it, so I don't lose it.
Here is number eight in that video series:

Found this too late, sold my GasGas. I had tried all kinds of mods. After first broken set of Bendix and flywheel gear, i got the spacing right on the secound very expensive set.
But the Starter in best case (clean and relubed with very little thin oil) always only worked as a Re-Starter for warm engine.
I am a bit dissapointed that GasGas over the years never refined the springforce in the Bendix and a customer must come and find working Honda parts.
I think that the spring was strengthened because the Bendix works vertical and every bump might push down the gear.
Did anyone observe an engaging noise when landing from a jump or see a respective wear on the parts?
Great forum!

Erhard

I finally decided to sort the starter on my 2011. Below is part six video of the previously posted thread. My ring gear was in great shape and my GG bendix was in good shape too, not rounded or chewed up at all, it just would not engage.I bought the listed CH 80 starter on Amazon and last night I followed the video directions and IT WORKS PERFECT!
