I looked at parts book as well no thermostat listed.. does this mean there is not one? Still no luck finding fuse box either.. I am guessing up by the lights since that's only area I can't see

ok... I wanna tackle one problem at a time.. COOLANT issue seems to be the one that bothers me most. I opened the bike up a lil to find that the thermoswitch has been jacked with. First one of the terminals was unhooked. as seen below! Someone has extended the wire to the thermoswitch before... I unwrapped blacktape to find that the wires were both saudered properly... BUT they were touching together... someone just took black tape and wrapped them both together! IDIOTS! rrrrr fixed that So I hooked up the terminal to thermoswitch and got bike to H and still the fan did not kick on.. There is no coolant flow at all... I stuck my pinky in reservoir and ICE COLD. I am headed to store to get laser thermometer to check thermostat in boiling water. I do not have the Yamaha yp250 clone motor (linhai)... I am thinking it is the other one the 250T looks like it anyways... Maybe simply a blown fuse from bad wiring job? going to try in find fuses and go get thermometer now

these are both without pulling anything off... I don't have any manual... nor can I find one online... HELP please if u can
Battery: I hooked up meter to battery.. While off 12.4.. while in idle climbed to 12.8... then in slight throttle (no tac on this one) it quickly climbed to 13.5-13.8 while giving gas but as soon at I let off gas it dropped back down to 12.8 and stayed about there... when I turned it off and let it sit, it dropped back down to 12.2 ------- MY GUESS... is either the starter button needs replaced OR the actual starter OR the battery just needs changed out... LOOKS like original battery or at least OLD
Coolant/fan: The temp gauge rose to H while doing battery.. I got under and could see that the fan was NOT running. The engine was pretty damn hot though... The coolant hose coming off the engine was WAY WAY hot! but as I followed it to radiator(far as I could reach up anyways) it became cool. WHERE is my thermostat located? Right behind where the coolant hose goes into engine? or at radiator? (NEWBIE lol) also I don't know how to short the fan to make it run. can u please explain that a lil more.. maybe a pic? I bet if I start ripping off plastic I can figure it out... but just want to gather all info before I head in.

Ok guys... here goes... I bought a 2007 250cc Roadrunner I-Scooter today for cheap....
First things first... The temp on the bike gets to H really FAST... not during idle, but while running it down the road. My first question is this... Should the hoses for the water coolant be hard while hot? Because they are not... I am gonna flush it 100% out tomm and add new aluminum safe coolant to it. At this point all the plastic is still on and I haven't seen a fan yet nor heard one. I have read on other threads that this bike does run a little hot... I am not smelling anything hot? THOUGHTS suggestions? HOSE supposed to be hard? What can I test?
Second issue: The starter doesn't want to work part of the time... at first it would not turn at all.. no cranking... I figured battery issue... so I hooked up a charger.. let it charge for about 15 mins, left it on charger while trying.. and bam it cranked right over.. rode it for awhile... turned it off and tried to turn over again... NOTHING!.. the battery is measuring about 12.2-12.3.... any thoughts? when it does not crank, I hear it click one time when I push starter and see headlights dim a bit..
That's the extent of the problems so far..
I know yall know way more than me! so throw it at me HARD N FAST! I can take it without lube!
