I am totally lost on this engine. I turn the key and nothing happens. Everyone tells me to look for a fuse and the fuse is fine. I have disconnected the break switch so that can not be the problem. I have power to the starter solenoid and when bridged with a screwdriver turns the motor over. I have made sure there are no breaks in the ignition wires as they show continuity through them. My key switch have a 1,2,3 on it and I could have possibly hooked it up wrong. Please any help would be awesome. Thanks

On my first scoot, I had to have both sets of them connected, even though only one had to be pressed to make the engine start. I think I had to connect the ends of the broken switch wires together to make the bike work until I got another switch. Somehow the scoot needed both sets of wires or it would not work. Just unplugging one set disabled the bike. I never did figure out why or how it worked. |

So my switch had continunity between the two break wires when pushed or not pushed. I assumed it worked like a kill switch in that grounding it out would lead to killing the engine.
I also might have hooked up the ignition switch wires wrong. Basically there is three prongs on the new switch I bought, same as before. But there are no labels to the switch. Just 1,2,and 3. How do I test to make sure I am hooking the wires correctly.

I know the wiring well, I need to know will the horn or signals work with the key in the run position? the answer to the above question dictates what to check/do next. John |

ok you need to recheck the fuse with a meter a visual is not good enough. The glass fuses may look good and be bad I have seen this fool many many times, my self included. Do you have a meter or test light?

I have both a light tester and a mulimeter |
