My scooter won't electric start By zoltan (Read 772 times)

Hi there,

I gonna need some help. I changed the handle bar on my kymco agility 125. For this I had to disconnect the front and the back brake wires. Unfortunately, I didn't memories which cable goes where. Stupid me. When I put them together my scooter didn't start and there is no brake lights at all. I tried all variation to put the wires together but no avail.
With the kick start I can start my bike but the electric start doesn't work.
Does anyone have an idea what to check now?
I will try to attach a picture of the wire.

I don't know how to attach a picture. Anyway. There are two wire coming from the back and two wire coming from the front brake. Both green and black. And there is to socket to connect them. One is black and one is green. I tried all the variation I could but doesn't work. It doesn't start and the brake light doesn't work either.
I checked the fuse. But it seems OK.

I think wire connections should be black to black, green to green, if I'm wrong someone please correct me. Have you checked the brake light bulb to see if it's good? The glass fuse can't be looked at to see if it's good you have to test it as the filament inside may be broken where it can't be seen.

There are generic diagrams in the library here. Get your meter out and trace out why your brake lights do not work. If you do not have a meter get one and learn how to use it. Also get a test light, both are very helpful in diagnosing an electrical problem. The brake light circuit is what powers the start solenoid. Chinese glass fuses can open under load and still test good, best to replace with either american made or else a blade type.

Check the brake light bulb. You may have blown the bulb while trying different wire hookups.

the bulb will not cause a no start.

Here is how to post pictures very easy.

Also did you disconnect the brake wires from the BRAKE HANKLE on each side or from someplace else?

The brakes get voltage from the BLACK WIRE when you turn the KEY ON then when you squeeze the brakes it pass's the voltage to the GREEN WIRE(USUALLY GREEN and YELLOW) which then goes to a plug where it SPLITS ONE GREEN/YELLOW WIRE GOES TO THE STOP LIGHTS and ANOTHER GREEN/YELLOW goes to the SOLENOID. THEN when you push the start button it GROUNDS the SOLENOID and completes the circuit and the SOLENOID then pass's 12volts to the STARTER.

So a picture of the brake switch and your brake handle.

It will on some models, it completes the circuit on a few.

brown wire gets power when the key is on.

you have bullet connectors from the switches, they pick up from the brown together, when the brake is pressed it allows the power through the switch then through the harness out to the brake light.

Here is a Brake Switch usually this type is for scooters with DRUM BRAKES, but I just wanted to show the wires NOTICE 1 BLACK and 1 YELLOW AND GREEN.
The Black is HOT WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON, then when the brakes are squeezed it touchs the GREEN/YELLOW and sends the voltage down the GREEN/YELLOW wire. THE GREEN/YELLOW CARRIES THE VOLTAGE and the wire SPLITS, one YELLOW/GREEN wire goes to the STOP LIGHTS and one YELLOW/GREEN wire goes to the SOLENOID.

So as you can see the bulbs can be all blown and the ELECTRIC START will still work. Or the Stop lights MAY work but the SOLENOID may not.
