Starter Problems

[Point_of_Man]

I have a little 90cc Chinese quad that my father-in-law gave my kids. He bought it for them about 5 years ago, but they never really got to use it much. A couple of weeks ago we went to visit him and while there he was kind enough to load it in the back of my truck when I wasn't looking. No big deal, right? Maybe, if I could get the thing to start. I replaced the battery and the starter, but when I try to start it, I can hear he bendix gear spin but it isn't engaging anything. Any tips?

Does the flywheel still have teeth on it?

They use a chain to turn the engine from the starter on them.

So it could be as simple as a chain off? How do I access the chain?

Side cover. Might be. Or sized chain , ect.

I'm assuming it's a secondary smaller chain, the main one is in place and moves fine.

Anyone have any idea where I could get my hands on a service manual for this thing? PDF is fine.
