1988 honda elite 50

[fumanshew]

I was working on my moped. I charged the battery put it in the elite and all I get is the starter relay makes a buzzing noise and the start won't spin. I didn't change anything can't find out what the problem is. If someone can help me that would be great. Thank you for any help I can get.

Your battery is bad. Not enough voltage causes the relay to buss like that. OH and I don't care that you just charged the battery. Put a voltmeter on it. After the charge, if it does not read 12.6 to 12.8 volts it is bad. If it does, leave the meter on it and hit the start button. If the voltage drops below 10.5 volts, the battery is bad. If it doesn't you have a bad connection either on the +12 volt side, on the ground side or a missing ground.
