(1/1)

slikjay:
I'm having a problem getting my kymco people S50 4t started, I try to start it and I hear a ticking from the relay then sometimes I also hear the ticking on the relay ahs stopped and the starter motor is spinning but won't start the motor and suggestions or advice ,I was thinking to change the relay and starter motor but if it's not necessary and some has some tips I'm eager to hear them,it's kind of urgent because I use the scooter for work no public transport at my work times and too far by bicycle ???

@slikjay, welcome here!
I'm not so much into 50ties but I think this might be battery/cable related.
How old is your battery?
Battery pretty small?
Connectors corroded?
Cable from battery minus to the frame corroded?
All fuses in good shape?

Pls do a junpstart from any donor vehicle (car motor not running) and check your battery voltage with a multimeter when the motor is running. Should be at idle 12+V and revving more than 14 Volts.
If there arrive more than 13 -14 volts, we might look onto your relay.
But step by step.
