Other Simplexes, such as Sportsman Senior & Jr, scooter / New from Iowa
« on: May 15, 2015, 09:30:19 AM »
Hi, new from Iowa and need help with a 65 Senior wiring problem. Picked up the same Senior my father bought 50 years ago and sold while I was in the service in 68. Engine runs, but the kill portion of the switch doesn't work. Also I have no tail, brake, or headlights. Previous owner took the bike apart for restoration just to show so I don't think wires were put back as original. New wires spliced in and only one wire to tail light. Haven't found any diagrams on line for this machine. Anybody have a wiring diagram, or could walk me through the wiring? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope I'm doing this right. Just joined this forum, I live in from NW Iowa. Bought a 65 Senior off Craig's List last week. It's in really good shape as it has been repainted with springs, handle bars, ad even the chain being chromed. Has the 175cc Continental Red Seal engine. Missing grips, but still has the original throttle. Engine starts, but no lights and kill portion of switch doesn't work. After I saw the picture on Craig's List I pretty much knew I was going to buy it. Certain things looked familiar. It just happened to be the same one my father brought back from Minn. fifty years ago. He traded it and some cash for a smooth concrete floor when I went in the service in 68. I now have it back.
