The first night I owned it, I left the lights on all night. I have charges and taken the battery have checked, its fully charged. I cannot kickstart it and when I try to start the engine I get nothing but a click from the relay. I checked the wires, I have good voltage coming out of the relay but none going in, all the other wires, starter, motor, etc have voltage. The only other wire w/ out a reading is a black/white wire that connects to the CDI. Also is there suppose to be two spark plugs? I have a picture included

2 spark plugs? what size and make scooter is it? Lisa sent me pics and the other SPARK PLUG is capping off the emissions line to the head.... disregard...

It is a taotao ATM50-A1 49cc, that was powered up and had a 100 cc motor put in it

Hi windy here in pahrump! should only have one sparkplug i pic you posted was small might be an "extra" plug in case you foul out the other one and do you have to pull in one of the brake levers to start it? if so that switch might be bad and some of the kickstands also have a safety switch to prevent starting and driving off with it down too..

That spark plug to the left of the picture is being used to plug a hose for some reason...

How was the battery checked.. at a dealer's with a load test for batteries?

[justlasvegaslisa]

I took it to Shelton Battery in LV, a load test? I dont know. They are suppose to be battery experts.The battery reads a full charge?

[justlasvegaslisa]

Looks like part of the emissions system...someone used an old spark plug to plug it...!!! ;-)

OK if the battery reads a full charge, when you turn the key do any light come on? like the dash, back riding lights etc...

hi Sprocket have a good week! the tail light should come on believe the tao taos like my vip. motor has to be running to get headlight on. juz a thought. And this is what Lisa sent me in a mail yesterday about checking for spark on it the scoot wont turn over....

First of all I would like to say thank you so very much for taking the time to reply back, let alone your continued suggestions and help.
You have given me far better and more reasonable advise than anyone! As for the kickstart, excellent advice and noted! I have watched videos how to check for spark, however my scooter wont turn over so no I have not been able to check for spark

Take the battery to a shop or to an autozone and have it LOAD TESTED! Only way to know for sure that is's good or bad.I suspect it's bad, though.
