So I acquired a Chinese 150cc ATV. Someone had just absolutely butchered the wiring harness, I think in an attempt to bypass the kill switches.

I bought a new harness on eBay, installed it yesterday but there's just a couple things I'm unsure of.

1. The green ground wire that I'm assuming connects to the battery, where does the other end connect at? The solenoid?

2. There's a plug coming from the shifter that someone snipped a white/black wire on it.

3. If I connect the green ground wire to the battery and to the solenoid and connect that plug coming from the shifter into a plug on the harness.. the bike will start cranking o.O

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thick ground wires connect to the battery and ground. A thin earth wire will go to the small connector on the solenoid if the other thin wire to the solenoid is live only when you press the start button. Wires from the shifter are for either a safety lockout which prevents starting in gear, or a display of what gear it is in on the dash, maybe both.

 

thanks a lot for the help! Issue is solved, running fine now.
