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...

As well as it's own fuse.

Your go kart has headlights....?

I'd wire up the bare minimal to get it cranking.....

I had one of those......when you can't get it started, it's because the carbs gunk up really easy........
