Electric Start

[Roscoe]

Get a wiring diagram a test light or multi-meter and start testing the starting circuit. It's a simple circuit. You can also jump the terminals on the starter relay ... if it cranks the problem is in the circuit that activates the relay or the relay it's self. Think of it this way ... 12 volt to the fuse then to the ignition switch, switch on then 12 volt to the brake stop light switch squeeze the brake lever then 12 volt to the starter button, push the button ... then 12 volts to the relay ... which will close and allow 12 volts from the big battery wire to connect the big wire to the starter ... and she starts cranking. If the starter itself is bad ... one way to test that would be to jump directly with jumper cables to the starter wire or amperage draw. This is a good learning experience, something you'll use one way or another the rest of your life.
