1. What should the resting voltage of a scooter battery be?
2. From my magenta there is a connector and a pair of wires that are just connected by a male/female connector. How do these wire connect together? The connectors are broken. The wire colors are Blue/Yellow, Blue/white and 2 red/black wires. I am not sure if these were backwards but I need to replace them with new connectors.

The wires come directly off of the magenta wiring harness. and they connect near the harness to the starter solenoid.

Sorry what is a magenta on a scooter.. new one on me... are you certain you don't mean magneto or stator?

I may be interpreting this wrong but I think you mean magneto. That would be the stator on the right side of the engine. The two wires I think you're referring to are the red/black AC power source for the CDI and the pulse coil trigger wire which often changes color on the way to the CDI. If this looks like your two wires I think you'd be safe in connecting the red/blacks together, and the blue/white and blue/yellow together.
The trigger and power wires end up in these spots on the CDI do you might want to do a continuity test or trace them to make sure you have the right wires:

There is a magenta (pink) wire on the R/R on some scooters and it connects to the white wire from the stator...

The only red plug on a scooter is from the enricher on the carb. It connects to the harness on the right hand side (white plug) You can see it in this picture... Attachments:

I agree with Bashan. It is probably a safe bet to connect the two red/black wires together and the blue/yellow and blue/white together.
The blue/white should be from the pickup coil and goes to the ignition trigger pin on the cdi. The red/black is a/c from the stator to the a/c power pin on the cdi.
