People 150 - won't shut off and now won't start
« on: May 22, 2016, 01:31:06 AM »
So I recently bought a 2009 people 150 scooter and had absolutely no problems riding it. Now it's been a couple of weeks. I left it in the rain for the first time (covered it with 2 jackets). When I come back to start it about 7 hours later, it wouldn't shut off. The starter would keep clicking even after I turn off the key and turn the kill switch to off. I believe the battery finally drained out completely, because now when I turn the key nothing turns on. I tried to kickstart it as well and got nothing. Any ideas??

WD-40 into the ignition switch and work it with the key a whole buncha times. Battery dead: charge and/or replace. Get the problem solved before leaving battery hooked up.

Fixed the issue, seems to be a stuck starter relay. Charged up the battery and knocked on the solenoid (starter relay) seems to have fixed the issue.
