Go-Kart Wiring
Ok,
I got a Go-Kart "project" from my in-laws for practically nothing and all I have to do is rewire what looks to be a rather gruesome meltdown that took place at some point. This is a garden variety Chinese Go-Kart with a 150cc aircooled 4 stroke that's about 9 yrs old. I was able to find a wiring diagram for this thing online:  In order to make it easier to read, I went out and compared the diagram to my harness and found that it is probably 90% correct (with regard to the wire colors). I used MS Paint and colored it to make it easier to read:  Please take a look at the starter solenoid relay and tell me if I'm crazy or if there is a boo-boo in the drawing...

Yeah, you want your lights to turn on when you try to start it right?

I think the coil and contacts are crossed...

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought.
How's this?

That's a poor relay drawing. Presumably the bottom side of the starter solenoid is the coil...
