when you try to start does the starter go?

=================================

If you know your battery is good and nothing happens when you try to start, that indicates a possible problem with the starter.

Also, if the starter makes a noise but does not turn the engine over, the starter could be At Fault.

Any solenoid is an electrical switch with main terminals to pass current when

operated by the small terminal being given a voltage .

to check if sol is faulty bridge the two main terminals with thick jump lead if the starter works its faulty.

If it still does not work check these with and without operating the key switch.

1.Good Battery voltage across battery terminals

2.Same voltage at starter

1 and 2 should be the same

if 1.2 check out Ok you will most likely find the brushes in the starter motor have worn out

Why does the electric starter quit working on scooter?

There are 5 possible reasons why the starter quit working on the scooter. First, the battery was bad, second, the starter switch was bad, third, the solenoid was bad, fourth, the the starter motor was bad, and fifth, there was a bad wire. I found another reason, which was the one that fixed my scooters problem and that was the brake switch had gone out. Without the brake switch working the automatic starter won't engage.
