I need to get it on the center stand! Still haven't been able to do that. Came close the other day, one more shot and I would have had it, but my back was shot first! I'm still working on technique.

I'll post a pic of the engine tomorrow.

Yup, it's vertical and it's in a moto, that much I know! Thanks!

Good info, thanks. My back is feeling better today, but that's because I haven't moved! Hopefully I can get this figured out. this thing is really an enigma. It doesn't look used much, but people have been into it a bit, no idea what they were doing. Maybe looking for this. I read somewhere a list of various engines that were used in these clones. How can I identify this engine?

If I knew where that wire ended up, I'd just bi-pass it and run a new wire. But I see no wires on the solenoid that are the same gauge or color of that wire from the brake switch.

Lot of stuff in the way of tracing that wire.

Anyone know where the solenoid is on one of these?
EDIT: I guess it's next to the battery, at least that's where the diagram says it is. It resembles No, 2 that Alley posted, except instead of fuses I have wires. I can't upload an image, problems with my system.

Told you I didn't know what I was talking about. That makes sense. Sounds more complicated than it needs to be, but again, I don't know electrical crap, mechanical I'm fine, but this stuff is mysterious.

First, I don't know what I'm talking about, really! But, I just figure the signal from the brake switch would go through the start button, otherwise the solenoid would engage every time you hit the brakes. So the signal gets split before the start button, signal going to the brake light, and going to the start button. The start button completes the circuit to the solenoid. That's how I'm figuring.

Love the Daffy! The starter switch is sending a signal to the starter, so the signal from the front brake isn't getting to the starter button. So it would probably split up there in the handle bars, I would think. I hope they didn't run a wire all the way down somewhere and back up, but who knows what the chinese were thinking.

Second thought, the switch is doing what it's supposed to do, or the light wouldn't come on. I wonder where the splice is, where the power is split off the brake lights and go to the starter switch. Must be up front somewhere I would think. That little plug by the volume switch is in the right place, wonder where it goes?
EDIT: I was typing at the same time!

First step is to see if the switch is doing what it's supposed to do. I can do that without any acrobatics, but just sitting on the stool right now is not gonna happen. I feel pretty good in the morning, I'll check it first thing. Maybe later tonight.

Wow! Thanks for serving Alleyoop. Glad you survived your injuries. My battles were at home, crashed way too many cars.
Jc, I have brakes and can't start unless I have the rear brake on. Problem is my front brake doesn't allow it to start. Brakes and brake lights work, and can't start unless the rear brake is on. Just have to figure out why the voltage isn't going to the solenoid when I use the front brake, sounds pretty simple, just can't get down to work on it.
