Fluke meters are very good meters. If it will work for what you're doing depends on what you're doing.
- Off means, well, off.
- V~ means AC Voltage, automatic scale.
- V= means DC Voltage, automatic scale.
- V=300mV means all DC Voltage under 0.3 volts.
- The horseshoe is Ohms or resistance.
- Then you get diode checker with buzzer.
- A~ is AC current, automatic scale.
- A= is DC current, automatic scale.
To measure voltage in your scooter you set the meter to V=. Measure voltage across the starter terminals while trying to start the scooter. If there is 10-14 volts, but no movement, while trying to start, then the starter is faulty. Measurements of other components are just as easy but harder to find where to measure. :riding:
