hello i stripped my bike down the other day to paint all the plastics, a few days later ive put it all back together but it wont start,(NO SPARK) anyway the electrics were left out in the open over night and when i got up the next morning it looked like it had been raining a bit.there is loads of juice in the battery and i carnt find a kill switch anywhere. dont think it has 1. there is a click sound coming from behind the key ignition. sounds like a indicator click only it just clicks the once. any help would be much appreciated

What scooter do you have, year and model also a 50cc or 150cc etc.. Also what engine is in there? You can find the engine number on the motor case by the SideStand it is imprinted on the motor case.

Did you disconnect any wires?
If not then something got wet is is shorting out. But try this jump the two terminals on the SOLENOID, the Solenoid can be found by just following the thick reg wire attached to the battery then you will find this: TOUCH BOTH terminals with a screwdriver or anything and it should spin the starter, be careful the motor may start.
Let us know what happened the results and please answer some of the questions if you can.

Yes got to know what you have and water is not good for the electrics. More than likely it's a poor connection that has happened due to the rain or removing the plastic, very common to happen.

Hello sorry for the mate reply. (Been busy and haven't had time to work on the bike) it's a jonway 2007 125cc. It has a gy6 engine in it. Anyway I took a few plugs apart and cleaned them and wd-40'd them to. Got the bike going great but it will not switch off by the ignition key now. :-( anyway I have to pull the lead from the back of the ignition coil to cut it out lol. Any ideas what could fix this? Also I might ad that upon further inspection I noticed that the sidestand killswitch has been cut completely! ( wasn't me it was the idiot who I bought the bike off!)

you could check the kill wire from the cdi to the ignition switch and the ground wire on the ignition switch to make sure its grounding.

If the wires on killswitch on the sidestand are just cut follow them up to the plug if the plug is DOES NOT HAVE A JUMPER wire that is your problem.

To disable follow the wire from sidestand up the frame to the first plug in line. It may be near the battery and frame, Unplug it and fuse the two wires together on the hot side. Hot side= battery side of (plug) wiring.

Alright lads I took all the side plastics off today and cleaned all the block connectors and made sure nothing was loose or missing. Installed a new cdi & ignition coil and it's fixed! Starts 1st time and cuts off by the key no problem. Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it ;
