Won't start By 2wheelmike (Read 139 times)

I disconnected my battery on my 50cc moped. I just picked it up from a friend. It ran before I disconnected the battery. Left it disconnected for maybe an hour. R connected it, now nothing works. Turn the key, lights don't come on, horn doesn't work, push button start doesn't do anything, nothing happens when I turn the key on. Tested the battery, good. I checked the starter relay. Have power on the red wire and black wire. Watched a video that said the black wire should illuminate when pushing the start button. But it does whether your pushing the button or not. Have no idea what's going on and I'm pretty mechanically inclined. But it does start if I kick start it or use my pliers to by pass the starter relay. Please help

sounds like your ignition switch is failing. my scoot has to have a brake handle squeezed, the key on and the kill switch cannot be on kill. if I wanted to chop the green wire on my scoot, I wouldn't have to worry about the kill switch or the brake handles anymore.
