Hi there. Bought this non-running 150cc beater. Has electrical issues What works: - Horn
- Rear brake light
- Fuel gauge
- Turn signals
What doesn't: - Headlight/tailight
- Starter button (biggest issue)
- Gauge lights
I opened up the front and noticed some connections not being used. I tested the ignition switch wiring: Red: always on Black: turns on with key Green: ground Brown: does nothing Any idea? Is there a wiring diagram available for this? Thanks. I circled connectors that aren't connected to anything. Thanks!

Are you in NY/NJ and is this the blue one that was on Craigslist? If so you beat me to it.
In any event, before you start messing with wires start with something simple. Check your fuses.

No, I bought this in Seattle awhile ago. Just now getting to it.
ya, checked all the fuses.
I also noticed the rectifier/regulator wiring and spades/terminals were all corroded.
Does any of the wiring to this rectifier go to the headlight which is why the HL won't come on?

Thanks a bunch! This will help a lot! I'm thinking either the rectifier (since it's so badly corroded) or the starter switch, which the HL seems to go through according to the diagram.

Yep, changing the starter switch worked and now it cranks and creates spark! However, I'm having fuel issues (totally plugged up/gummed up vacuum pump), so I can't quite get it running.
