Dave F asked:


I just realized that my pocket bike DOES have automatic start, but it isnt quite working, even when the bike is hooked up to the charger. The automatic starter is right behind the pull start, and there is one wire coming out of it. If I just wanted to test if the electric start works, what would I hook this wire up to? I was thinking that this one wire was the positive lead, and it was just grounded to the chassis. Is this correct?
This is what the part looks like: http://www.scooterparts4less.com/web_gas/Electric_starter.htm

It only has that one cable coming from it.
ok, so i hooked the automatic starter up to a 12v 10amp car battery charger, and the flywheel started to turn, but very slowly, like, one turn every 3 seconds. How is 10 amps not enough? and what is the “relay” you were talking about. I have one of these:

if thats what a relay is (the automatic start is hooked up to this device, but i dont know what to do with it)

thanks

   The wire is going to turn the starter button otherwise just touch that wire is going to turn the wire needs battery voltage to install starter button otherwise just touch that wire is going to turn the wire needs battery be careful of sparks and the wire is going to install starter read what gdrnch40 wrote if you want to get.
