Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi, I picked up my 1st scooter, needs lots of work, and I'm non-mechanical. The starter on my Aero does not work, brake and all switches and engaged on per manual. I noticed 1 wire is free as can see on attached picture. Where does it need to attach to, and how?
Thanks! Bill

Im not familiar with the Aero enough to pinpoint where on the scoot this spot is...is it up at the handbrake? Starter? Ignition? Alternator? Heres the manual for the 85’ which should shed some light. Section 15 has the wiring diagram and all wires are color coded. Hope this helps!

THanks Meatball. I still can't figure out where the loose wire goes. I don't want to blow any fuses or short anything. Also, this is by the throttle. On same piece with run/stop switch.

GREEN is GROUND. Basically every component will have some sort of ground wire to it. LOOK AT PICTURE. The start button has a GREEN & YELLOW/RED STRIPE to it. From your picture it seems that is correct and connected.

However, the RUN/STOP switch needs a GREEN & BLACK/WHITE STRIPE....see picture again. So, the loose wire goes to the RUN/STOP switch. Without it being connected, its an open loop and your scooter will not start.

Exactly WHERE does the wire connect, you ask? Its gotta be somewhere at the RUN/STOP button area. Look around...there isnt always a handy screw to attach. Sometimes connections have bullet plugs, soldered or simply jammed into a pinch connection.

The switch is all one piece to the plug and the wires are not intended to be removed. Seems as if you need to solder the connection back together or find a replacement for entire switch assembly. Ebay is a place to look if you cant repair.

Thanks Meatball I'll try it after work.

Still not working. Could it be the other end of wiring?

It certainly COULD be 50 different things.
