Starter relay and molded wire connection By bilyum (Read 581 times)

Bought a used 150 Pegasus recently which had very low miles.It takes a while to build confidence in a used scooter. I started with short drives.All seemed well at first ,until stopping at gas station soon after buying it. Scoot would not start noticed headlight ,blinkers etc not lighting up.I had a nice push home, UGH.I suspected battery and charged it and all seemed well. Things were well for a time and rides were longer and okay.Went to fill up the second time and it happened again. Same gas station too. Unbelievable,and a hell of push home.This time I removed seat and started investigating.I also removed the front area near ignition switch. Started playing with the starter relay and noticed light flickering.I think some non mechanical genius was tampering with something they had no knowledge of.This scooter had very low mileage and the wires on the molded plug that is fed from the relay looked as if it had been severely handled. The female spades were loose on the male spade prongs from being tampered with too many times. I pinched the female part with needle nose to tighten them up. So far so good!
My lesson is"never shut off engine without trying signal lts to be sure there is power". No signal lts working ,drive home as slowly as possible (going too fast may cause too much load am magneto ultimately killing engine)-DO NOT KILL ENGINE.No more pushy for me.
I have ordered a new relay in case but would like to know where to buy the molded connection with female spade connection.

Are you talking about the SOLENOID that sends voltage to your starter? Or some other Relay?
Can you put up the link where you bought the new relay so we can see what part you bought and that will tell us what part it is your looking for and we can then help locate them for you.

Sure it's
.partsforscooters.com/260-49-Solenoid" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.partsforscooters.com/260-49-Solenoid
It looks like a decent site and price is not off the charts.

If your just looking for the Green Molded part that snaps onto the solenoid they do not sell just the molded part. So yes that is a good price for the Solenoid you need.
