My sons starter will not work on his 49cc pocket rocket it sounds like it is turning but makes clicking sounds, yes the battery is charged. Is this something I can change myself.
How do you change the electric starter on a 49cc pocket rocket engine. I'm a single mom so make it simple?
Well first of all, its hard to really tell you exactly how to do it since i'm not looking directly at it.
It shouldnt be that hard as long as you have a few simple tools.
What i would tell you to do is take it too a small engine repair shop (some place that works on chainsaws and lawnmowers would work) and see if you can walk over by the shop and ask the mechanics personally. Thats what i would do. If you ask the service advisor they'll just try and sell you service..
Or type the model of the engine into a internet search engine and you might get a breakdown. I'd also type up:
****engine*model*here*** starter replacement
in a search engine.
Thats the best idea's i have for you.
Good luck....
If you cant figure it out, take a picture of the top and side of the engine close enough where i could see the model/brand and shoot me off an instant message and i'll see what i can find for you!

A %26quot; Pocket Rocket%26quot; ??? Honey, I don't think that is what you mean..... um.... if your son is having trouble with his %26quot;pocket rocket%26quot; this is not the category for that...... maybe if you could name this so called %26quot;rocket%26quot; more accurately it would help.
yes where there any shims as spacer there hit lightly with hammer on the side first then try started it
the clicking sound is the solenoid which engages the starter, so it is getting electricity. First check the battery connections, look for corrosion and good connections (tight) then if that does not help, there is two bolts holding the starter on. With the battery disconnected remove the two bolts and the wires. to check the starter put a jumper cable to where the red wire came off (red one) and put the red and black on your car battery then go back to starter and touch the black cable to the housing (anywhere on the case, where the bolt hole is is probably easiest) the starter should spin, if it does, the battery is weak, if it does not order a new starter.
