Hey Guys, My scooter hasnt been starting lately.I thought it was the battery,That is only a few months old because the starter solenoid would just click when I tried to start it but the battery is fully charged.I tested the starter and that kicks right off fine jumping it.I also used my multimeter to see if I was getting the 12 volts on the other side of the solenoid when I turned it over and I was not so my guess was the solenoid is bad?? Does that sound right to you guys? I ordered one anyway from Amazon for a whole $6.80 to try it.Ok now to the wiring part on the subject line.I looked at 2 different wiring diagrams that are posted in the Great Help threads at the solenoid to see where the Green/Red wire goes on what post and where the Yellow/Red wire go on what post of the solenoid? The one diagram that you can see everything close and all the colors shows Green/Yellow wire goes to the positive side and the Yellow/Red wire goes to the starter.My eyes are not the best but it looked like those colors are switched around on the really small need a magnifying glass diagram? It shows the Green shade with Yellow dashes? What is the correct color combination to hook up?Sorry so long thanks for your help!!

Here is how the SOLENOID is wired. As you can see the thin wires have a plug that just plug into the other part of the harness. Green/Yellow go to the Brake switch and the Red/Yellow go to the start button. On the Solenoid itself the RED THICK WIRE FROM THE Battery goes on one of the TERMINALS and the other TERMINAL GOES to the STARTER.

Those little wires don't attach to a post on the solenoid. Those go to a relay that is built into the soleniod. The green/yellow one is from the switch on your brake handle. The other one is from the switch.

The other one is from the switch.I knew those wires didnt go to the posts.Actually the wires to the male plug were opposite to the other wires on the scooters female plug.The maker of the solenoid had them backwards but I switched them around and the bike is running again great!Thanks for your help guys!
