Usually on scoots with a fuse box the BLACK WIRE FEEDS THE FUSE BOX so maybe trace the black wire and see it it goes to fuse box or it came out from a plug.

That spade for the start switch IS getting a bit tired but, it's on there pretty tight. I KNOW, it makes me crazy that it's usually some silly thing. I'll poke around some more. Did you notice what I posted about the red and black wires switching positions from one side of the plug to the other? I did not ever touch them though. I wonder if this is the thing that caused my neighbor to PARK the scooter and, not the valves? Remember, it would run a while then shut down till cool, as if the valves weren't opening. Will that plug go on the other way? if so try to plug it the other way. |

Lol! You KNOW I have been all over this thing and never saw a fuse box !  But, I only touched the back of the light bulb boot to see if a bad connect was keeping it from lighting. And it was running well then, after I shut it down to report here, you asked me to check the tachometer but, the bike acted dead. That's my story and I'm stickin to it! LOL! |

Ok, now look where you stuck your hand to check the wires on the socket and see if maybae you accidently unplugged some wire.  |

No, that plug only plugs one way with the locking tab on the one side.
PERPLEXING! I didn't do ANYTHING that involved, to change anything, lol! I'll try to trace that wire but, I'll be very surprised to find a fusebox after being all up in this bike for 4-5 months, for sure !

I know those plugs are very easy to come apart Happened to me when I installed my radio put everything back and my amp meter did not work sure enough I had accidently hit one wire going to it and it came unplugged. Well I belive it is a wire or plug that came undone with the vibration and or you accidently hit one and it came loose sticking your hands in there. |

So with that trace the BRAKE SWITCH WIRES back since those are not working, no lights and no solenoid.
Which means no voltage is going to the bracke switchs OH by the way did you try both BRAKES to see if you have voltage on one of the brake switchs.
Well it is again that time around here and hope you find the break in power I will check on your thread tomorrow.

Yesireee! YA ARE! YA ARE! I dunno what I'd do without ya! So, I figured I'd get my master cylinder rebuild kits in there while I could and ends up, my snap ring pliers won't fit down in there on the clip. So, I've got to get down to the auto store and grab some tips to finish .Will do on the WD40. The brake pads are grabbing quite a bit because, the pads are too thick. I had grind them down a little but not enough, evidently.I knew to clear the passage in the master cylinder, in case that was also clogged. I can still tell when the rear wheel is wanting to turn, for the idle adjustment . I think you said that we will want to clear the jets, anyway. So, I'll prob be doing it again after A/F adjustment. I'll post again later, after I get this smaster cylinder back together. Prob around 5 by the time I get home with the pliers and get to do that. |

Well, if I didn't have bad luck....
So, I waited 4 weeks for these master cylinder rebuild sets from Australia or something like that,and today spent the money for a new set of snap ring pliers and got the snap ring in there only to find that the seals on these things must be too small and the fluid just POURS past the seals ....
And oh my gosh! I think I just about got myself SHOT! I kid you NOT! As I was writing the above post, I heard an elderly voice from outside calling "HELP!" I ran outside and shouted "Who is calling for help and where are you?!" She was on the other side of the block from me and two properties over and shouted that she was at the back of the property, but she shouted the wrong address, I would find out later. I jumped in my pickup and drove around the block to where I thought her voice came from, knocked at the door because I couldn't see an entry to the yard, nobody answered. I called out, I heard her scream again and I shouted that I was here and could hear her and that I am trying to get to her. I went around the side of the house and found a gate, and yelled "Are there any dogs back there?!" No answer, twice. So, I used the flashlight on my phone and started carefully into the dark side yard and heard a distant but forceful, foreboding voice shouting "Hey you! Get OUTTA MY YARD!!!" over and over. So, heck yes, I DID!!! I called 911 and as I rounded the front of the property, the garage door opened up and a man came running out. I thought I was about to get tackled or shot! But he must have headed out his back door to head me off first, because he said "I found her! I'm so SORRY! It's my Mother, she fell in the driveway in the back and is hurt pretty badly!" I ran back there with him and this poor old lady was sitting in a BIG pool of blood. I think she was in shock. We kept asking her questions because she was so quiet and didn't remember her address but, she was answering and sitting up so, WHEW! The ambulance got there quickly so, I got out of their hair. I don't know what it is with me and emergencies lately . I'll check on her in a couple of days or so. SO, I live another day, covered in brake fluid, having gotten worse off than when I started, LOL!
