:chinese: I have a older Geely, 50cc with a new installed big bore 100cc kit. I have removed the two wires from the brake switch and connected them together. Question will that work to bypass that??? Is there any other starting devices I can disconnect ??? Jerry---Clearwater Florida :stars:

Having done that, your brake lights should be lit all of the time now. Not a great idea, because you can't warn anyone when stopping. It would bypass all function of the brake switches, not just starter safety features... unless you have more than 2 wires on each switch. I would run an ignition switched power wire to the proper side of the starter switch instead. Your brake lights should work and you would have no need to use the levers to start the scooter. Keep in mind, you are disabling a safety feature if you do this. I can't really recommend that. Here's a diagram of a typical starting system... s259.beta.photobucket.com/user/turbostang331/media/mydiagrams/StartingDiagram.jpg.htmlI noticed you said you have a new 100cc kit. Just to be clear, you aren't trying to get more power to start the bigger engine are you? This will not change cranking power. That would be the battery, cables, and starter. |

Those brake starter switches/functions on a Chinese scooter are truly evil things..........
You have to do away with conventional (sensible?) *thinking*.
Your starter solenoid has 2 small (as opposed to large, as in current carrying wires to the battery/starter) wires on it It is these 2 small wires you are concerned with.
One wire feeds ground (12V-) to the starter solenoid from your starter button on the handle bars. Leave this wire alone.
The other small wire picks up switched, (as in ignition switched) 12V+ from the stop light circuit. The easy thing to do here (not the "proper thing", but the "easy" way out) is to disconnect the wire from the harness and loop it back to the heavy +12V on the solenoid. The trouble with this is: you will be able to engage the starter ignition "on", or not. The "proper" thing to do is to pick up 12V+ switched @ the ignition switch.

Why bypass the brake switch? It's not like it's a hassle to squeeze the brake and like Brent said, crossing those two wires will make the brake light stay on all the time. Not good.

I must say im gratefull for this answer. I have problems with my brake light among orger things turning of my ignition wich is what led me to look for this. Thank you very much |
