Typhoon 50 question please help

Postby stanleyoutdoors on Wed Oct 21, 2009 10:28 pm

I bought a crashed Typhoon 50 2stroke. My 1st scooter ever after 35 years of dirtbikes/street motorcycles. I love it! I am always making excuses to take it up to the store or something. But it came with no dashboard or switches (crashed). Just bare wires sticking out. I figured out which ones work the lights, horn, turn signals. But I could not figure out which wires control the on/off and the electric start. The key is good enough to kick start it. But when I tried to find the electric start wires, I killed the computer. i don't want to repeat the $120 mistake!

Could someone please tell me what color wires go to the electric start button? Also the kill switch on the dash? my dealer ship is NO help.

I bought a Honda dash cheap on Ebay, just need to know what wires to plug into the starter switch.

THANKS

PS
I am thinking of hopping it up over the winter, on the cheap...

You could try looking at the wiring diagrams in some of the repair manuals for other models of Piaggio. A lot of times, they'll keep the same color codes from model to model.

Here's the Piaggio manuals:

Thanks, but no help. None of the color combos listed are there. I am pretty sure I know which ones they are, but I was pretty sure I knew before, and I fried the computer somehow- not necessarily by connecting those 2 wires, but I don't want to risk it again.

I think I need someone to take apart their dash and check the wires to the start button. Anyone?
