Okay, so here are the results of the Starter/Solenoid Testing:

Starter Switch Test (Red Probe in Red/Yellow, Black Grounded, Key OFF, Starter Button Pressed) : 0.8 Ohms

Green/Yellow Wire, Key ON, Brake Pulled: 0.00 - 0.02 DCV ()

Solenoid "Click" Test (Starter Wire Off, Key ON, Brake Pulled): No clicking noise.

Red Probe in place of Starter Wire, Key ON, Brake Pulled: 0.00 - 0.02 DCV ()

So, according to this test, I have a bad Solenoid, as well? Or is it a false-positive since I am having other issues in-line?

Okay,doing all the testing, here are my results:

From Ignition Switch Testing Tutorial:
Red to Black from the Switch (SWITCH ON): 0.2 ohms
Red to Black from the Switch (SWITCH OFF): No change

Green to Black/White from the Switch (SWITCH ON): Nothing reads, same as if I had the two probes in open air
Green to Black/White from the Switch (SWITCH OFF: No change

Red to Green (SWITCH ON): Nothing reads, same as if I had the two probes in open air

Black to Green (SWITCH ON): Nothing reads, same as if I had the two probes in open air

Green (Bike Side) to Frame (Sanded shiny section): 0.4 Ohms


I believe that is all of the testing that you had outlined, I didn't get a chance to do the Solenoid/Starter testing tonight, since I have some homework to work on, I will be able to tomorrow if you think it's necessary.

I cant tell you how much I appreciate you two's help, Id be in trouble right now without you!

Well I also tried it on Ohms and I would still get 000 but never 0L and a beep

Posting from my phone, so I hope my images come through.
So, I am trying to do the ignition switch testing you linked me to Rich, and am having a few issues. First, when I do the test with the switch off, I can't get my multimeter to register 0L, or beep... it just registers 000.... here is a picture of my multimeter with the setting I was using (should be the right one I thought..)


Secondly, my wiring seems to differ more than just from the wire colors.... my black, red, and green seem the same, however my killswitch wire (black/white) turns to brown, but it is not in the harness, it goes past it... here is a picture of my harness.


So, would the testing be any different? And am I using an incorrect setting on my multimeter to check for a complete circuit?

Sorry I suck with electrical stuff! Lol.
Thanks.

Bashan, I
I won't get a chance to work on it until around 4:00 EST today, however as a pre-diagnosis I can tell you with 95% confidence that the horn, and turn signals do not work, as with any other lights, when I turn the key to on. Also, yes, while I am jumping the solenoid, all of the lights and dash items seem to work. The scooter turned on and stayed on at one point, before I turned it off (via the killswitch).

John,
Yes, the bike will run when I jump (in the scenario above), and I think it would kick start, but the kick starter is something else that I am working on right now, having a problem with it travelling back up after I kick, so I can't check that right now. When it's running it seems to be running as completely normal, lights, dash, turn signals, etc seem to function, but I can double check for 100% accuracy later today.

I'll update you two as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for your help so far!

Hey all,
My scooter is a 150cc Roketa Sicily, she's been having some electrical issues...

When I turn the key, my gas gauge doesn't flip on, and I can't start her up via the key and starter button.

Things I know so far:

• I have 12.5 DCvolts across my battery terminals
  
• I have continuity across the fuse in-line with the battery terminals, and the fuse up near the gauge cluster
  
• I have continuity from the Negative terminal to the frame
  
• I can jump the scooter with a bar between the two starter terminals (Is this bad for it?)
  
• I do NOT hear a clicking sound when I push the starter button, no matter what position I have the killswitch in, key in, or brake pulled (i've tried all variations of this)
  
• I do NOT get brake lights or etc when I pull the brake lever, however when I jump across the starter terminals, I do get gauges, and lights.
  
• All of the connections seem good, everything is plugged in and snug, I tried looking over all of them to be sure.
  
• I am on the centerstand, but I don't have a kickstand killswitch anyway. (I don't wanna talk about how I know that. )
  

Not sure where to go from here... any suggestions? I would love to get her running again before Spring is over!
