IGNITION Wires !

Just got my starter motor, pinion drive belt and battery. Now I am realizing there is no place to put the key in on my bike, but I see the wires.

What wires have to touch so that the bike will be able to turn over the starter motor?

I dont know what year and model scooter you have but in the schematic for a 85 spree it looks like there are only 2 wires at the ignition, a black/white and a green. You should be able to just jumper the 2 wires together.

Hold the left brake and hit the starter button.

(Who's scooter are you stealin??)
heheheh

Are there a black and a red also?

It looks to me like the Red and Black are connected when the key is in the 'ON' position and the white/black and green are connected together when the key is 'OFF'

ha.... when you keep em unplugged you dont need a key... just unplug the ignition and kickstart it and go... thats why sprees are so darn easy to steal... all it takes is a 10mm socket...

electrolyte didn't come with my battery, says so online -- where can i buy this stuff??? I WANNA RIDE!!!

I have a budle of wires not hooked up, near the horn, I can tell its the ignition because the wires are not connected until the metal parts overlap and touch. There is a RED,GREEN,BLACK AND BLACK/WHITE .

Red to Black = Ignition on
Green to Black/White = Ignition off

If you don't have a key, just hook up red to black and wrap the other 2 wires in electrical tape so you dont short out anything - you dont really have to connect them I dont think.
You should install a switch between red and black so you can discconect the wires easily when the bike is off, otherwise you'll drain the battery.

Ok, got the battery acid in the battery. I hooked it up w/ the red and black ignition wires connected. The brake light came on for a second and the horn beeped(very quietly). My battery came charged so that's not the problem.

I pulled the spark plug out and pressed it against the cylinder head and used a 14mm socket to turn the drive gear since i don't have a kickstart. I got a spark but I'm not sure how strong looking it is supposed to be. The starter motor won't turn. any ideas??

Check your starter relay - you should hear a clicking sound coming from it as you hold the brake in and press the start button. Also make sure the starter motor has a good ground connection
