Get a test light/multimeter out and cheack for power at the relay then see if the relay get power when you hit the start button, thne see if the realy is giving the starter power.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

your starter is probably fine.

you NEED a NEW battery, if its been sitting.

you can jump start from a car battery with jumper cables directly to the scoots battery wires, just make sure the car is NOT on!

I did this many times when I had my spree
projects galore :nerd:

to all of you:
Thank you for your help. I found a wire that got disconnected by the speedometer area, I had to take all the covers to conect it back. I believe that could be the problem.
I have not try to start it, because when working in that area, I discover that the two cables for the front and rear brakes are stuck, meaning they don't have the "action" requiered, they do not move inside their casing. So I took them out and tried mannually to unstuck them. Do any of you know a trick to free them, they are heavily"set".
Thank you
Julio

just get new ones. it's easier and safer to install new brake lines than to try and fix stuck ones.

Yea, ever think of what could happen if your rear brake cable snapped?
