bwhigham · Post by **bwhigham** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 7:05 pm

I have an 89 SB50P Elite 50 E scooter... Tonight I was driving the scooter to the store and it shut off fine with the red engine toggle switch at my first stop...10 minutes later, i went to walmart and it would not shut down with either the red toggle switch or with the key area.. what would cause this to happen? I had to shut it down my turning the idle adjust screw out till it shut down..

most likely the kill (black/white) wire near the key switch came loose.

I agree with traffic. Unless both switches failed at the same time, very unlikely at best, it has to be the connector on the black/white wire came loose.

Thank You all for your help...I will check the wiring on the switch now..

I tested both switches and they both checked out...I made sure that they were connected properly and they were....what else could it be?

Both switches are fine? what else could it be? where does the black and white wire go to? its connected at the switches?
Thanks anyone for your help...

Black/white wire goes to the CDI. Did you check for a ground on the other side of the switch. If you do not ground the black/white wire, the motor will never shut off.

Have you bothered to look at the wiring diagram in the service manual?

I can't follow the wiring diagram...its too complicated for me..

I appreciate your honesty

Do you have a digital volt meter?

There is a wire plug near the key switch that has four wires.

Find it and get back to me.

Is there a grounding block on the scooter? Where is it located? Its not shown on the equipment diagrams..I followed the wiring diagram...there seems to be a block, but Id like to know where it is so I don't have to take off all the body panels to find it..
Thank You,
Benjamin
