Spree runs only with rear brake applied....Help
A change of subject was needed and the old topic buried. If I let go of the rear brake after my spree starts it will quit. I am quite sure this is an electrical issue. Does the kickstand need to be up? Is there a switch that needs to be adjusted? Can I just disable needing the brake to start?

Any double filiment bulb (that fits)? Also, in connecting the wires to the taillight there is a brown wire and a green w/ yellow stripe that was easy enough to connect. But there are two plain green wires from the tail light going to a plain green and green w/ black stripe. Getting close but still can use assistance.

I did that. No need to be angry. Couldn't find anything disconnected. I was NOT jumping to any short conclusions. But I do have a wire from where the taillight is coming from that I am not sure what it is. It looks like a ground wire from the wiring diagram but I am not sure. It has a connection then goes up into the frame above the rear tire.
I've heard of this happening before (not running without brake apply)... the taillight is an interesting insight. If you can't figure out the bulb, d/l the service manual and look the number up. Wiring diagram is also there.
Otherwise, check your chassis grounds (also listed in manual.) They are the most likely suspect. If that isn't it, we'll have to work through the wiring diagram to diagnose.
