Hello all, I am working through trouble on an eton viper 90r
It has spark and will fire but something kills the engine within a few seconds. I believe I have confirmed that the brake lever and gear selector switch are working properly. I have confirmed that the gear shifter motor is working.
my question areas are:
1. maybe the gear motor isnt actually turning the shifter into neutral? how do i manually put it in neutral.
2. there is some electrical kill switch activating to kill after it starts.
there are many unhooked connections in the harness and am hoping someone can sort them out with me.

if anyone has an eton like mine and can walk through the harness with me pls let me know

the light bar with the R N F is not there so I cant see if its flashing or not... unless someone can instruct me on how to test that with a meter IE: which wires to probe for 12v.
I will get some pics of my question wires and post.
thanks for looking and being there to help
cheers

I assume this would connect to the FNR light



not sure what this is on the front end





or this one






or...this one...







this is off to the side above the starter infront of the solonoid. Its fused but not connected to anything. any idea?








this is the other fused wire which is connected but not sure where it goes. any info is helpful.

 

If nobody on here can help, I would contact Alpha Sports. They hold all the remaining stocks of spares for Taiwanese Etons (pre 2012). As you may know Eton had a good reputation regarding spares back up etc, but went broke in about 2012. A Chinese firm bought the name, but Alpha seem to be the go-to for old Etons, they may be able to supply a wiring diagram etc.

 

Hey Merryman!
I will contact them tmr and see if they have any insight,
thanks for reaching out.
cheers

well, I did reach out to alpha sports.
they had a good suggestion
BUY THE SERVICE MANUAL!
ha....
I found it online and did find a few of the unhooked wires were from
remote kill switches etc.
I think there may be a part of the transmission shifter missing,
gonna look into it tonight.
cheers

I was wondering what all these wires go to also. I have 2 wires connected together that makes everything work fine except for the fact that the taillights stay on all the time . These are the 2 wires that were cut and twisted together ,would love to know how they should be correctly if anyone could help.if I unplug those wires the quad gets no power to anything
