Where is this LOOPED wire at? Pictures would help, your going at this blind, few of us know what is what. For one thing if you squeeze the breaks and push the start button and you hear clicking that is the SOLENOID inside contact clicking. Now When it clicks like that it could be a BAD SOLENOID, Weak Battery or Starter is shot.

So in that case the First thing to do is JUMP the SOLENOID terminals and it will spark when you first touch them BUT just hold it there and see if your starter spins. If it just makes a humming sound then your starter is not working.

If touching the two terminals spins your starter then you know your battery is good and starter is good and the problem is the SOLENOID.

Found it! Charged the battery, found the wired looped wire (I'll post a pic for posterity), and fiddled with it until the scooter turned off. Very weird. Now the scooter starts like a dream and runs very well. I'll be riding it this week and then I'll find out if there was a reason the battery didn't charge (or if it was just dead). I have another chunk of work that has to be done to this beast, but that can and will wait until next year probably. 

Thanks so much for all the help, and kind regards.
