Yeah. I just wanted to get as much info as possible before I tear into it. Thanks for all the help.

I was hoping to find an engine rebuild kit. I can look up all of the parts in the Hammerhead part list separately, but I think it will be much more expensive that way.

Sorry.

The picture from that link shows the engine code just below the belt cover. But my engine does not have a code below the belt cover or anywhere else that I can find it. The picture from that link is a scooter Engine but mine is on a go cart. Maybe there is a difference between a scooter engine...

It’s not the solenoid. I jumped it to make sure. The more I think of it, if the starter clutch were locked up in the engagement position, the starter should still have enough torque to turn the engine over. This has to be one of the bearings.

On mine, the starter doesn’t spin. It just clicks. I also checked the clutch and the driven pulley. They are good.

GY6 Engine ID I thought all GY6 engines were basically the same and parts were interchangeable. But someone told me they have different variants. Is there an engine ID number? If so, Where can I find it? This is on a hammerhead GTS 150.

I’ve never worked on a motor with a starter clutch. What happens when it fails? When I turn the engine by wrench, it makes a screeching sound. But won’t turn at all with the starter.

Thanks for the info. I need to do more research on the starter clutch. I’ve never worked on an engine that has one.

Been working on my son’s Hammerhead GTS 150. It was running good until the coil died. It sat for about 8 months or a year. We installed a new coil and a new carb and couldn’t get it to run more than 15 to 30 seconds. And it had a tapping or knock sound. We spent a lot of time cranking it and...

Thanks! How did you find that? I searched for about an hour and didn’t see it anywhere. And Hammerhead’s website didn’t have any thing either.

Does anyone know how to know the year of a GTS 150? This is my VIN.

This is a Hammerhead GTS 150. It needed a coil and sat for about 8 months. I replaced the coil and plug. It will fire and sometimes run for a few seconds. So I assumed the carb was clogged with old gas and bought a new one. Installed new carb and fuel filter But still no change. I put new gas...

This thing is bone stock. Wheels, tires, motor, etc. Right after I bought it, I heard a clicking noise as he was driving it. It turned out to be a broken final drive shaft gear. I bought the new one from hammer head and replaced it. I put the belt and everything back together since it was ok...

A few weeks ago, I installed the new variator with new rollers and the new belt he has driven it twice and the new belt broke yesterday. What should I check next?
