Tom24 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi all I brought a go kart with a ybr 125 engine fitted but doesn't start up as it's not wired and I think parts are missing there is no spark when kick starting. Does anyone no what wire gives the spark of and anyone tell me what to do to get it running thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt502001 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 First Tom you should say high in the new members setion,neat little toy you have. You need the cdi ,voltage regulator,ignition coil and then ignition switch and a good wireing diagram to hook it all up ,,or a harness from a bike to shorten would be the easy way. I assume that you have all the internal electrics,pick up coil and stator. as it has a starter attached might as well hook it up with a battery and I can see in that mess of wireing you have the selonoid. but the placement of the motor will be a problem as your going to get burnt. and where is the seat going to fit?

Noise Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Also are you getting full travel on that kick start? As it looks like your going to be hitting the drive shaft before you get a full travel. As DT said you need all that stuff for more reliable starting as if you're in the middle of a race and stall it are you willing to get out try and kick it over, jump back in strap up and race off again?

Tom24 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 hi dt502001 i am not sure mate if i have all the electrics thats all that come with it i am new to this stuff and all those wires are very confusing lol i am going to fit a normal seat but try and move the engine over a fraction to allow me to do this if not then ile have to find a solution to fit in. thanks tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Wires on yams are easy as one plug only goes into one plug (all matched up) so as long as the plugs haven't been cut off that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted September 25, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2014 I suggest you dowload an owners manual for a YBR125, perhaps that will give info on certain things...the battery spec for example Here http://ymenvom.crestec.nl/new/manuals/U5YJE0.PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
