A few days ago during a run to town for some things when I started the scoot the starter relay stuck and ran the starter while riding. Of course the battery was soon dead. Called our son to bring a trailer and haul me in. Relay was dead. I had a Ford relay left from some other project but of course the scooter wiring will not operate such a large relay. But is will operate a horn relay. So the horn relay works the Ford starter relay which works the starter. Total cost, zero. Wait for parts, zero. I rather think the Ford relay will outlast the whole bike.

Always a way to make it work and what one can even do also is repair the cheap relay better. I've actually took them apart and rewound the windings with good wire from an old computer and made them good as new, nothing to it. Good Job! JR
