Hello....new to scooting, and new to this board, but I have been reading through it to solve my issue...I'll try to make this short;
Bought a 2007 Roketa Aruba 150 scooter this week, had 23 miles on it....awesome older guy owned it, drove it twice..
Bought it, battery was dead and would not start...after tinkering, found a rotted vaccum line and replaced it....hooked a 12 volt battery to the battery to "jump start it" (not connected to a vehicle) and after a couple times it fired and we've been driving it since. Started it with the push button starter button.
Drove it home, next day went and bought a new battery....charged it and followed instructions...starter switch will not start it...all lights and horn work (battery works) but starter switch won't do anything.
Also, on top of this, headlights aren't working. All other lights are (brake, tail, turn, hazards)
Really could use some advise as like I said, I'm new to scooters..I know my way around an engine ok, but this electrical is driving me nuts!
