Hi guys,
I can start my bike once on the electric start, ride for a while, stop and then when I go to start again - the fuse has blown. Any ideas what's causing this please? Also, what actually runs on this circuit?
Thanks, Ali

Pretty sure I'm using a brown 7.5 amp fuse, need to check when I get home. This could be the reason then, I'll check the manual out see if it says what rating I need. Cheers H

Just searched up on google and found this www.vespagenuineparts.co.uk/component-vespa... I know it's for a different vespa but it lists number 1 as being a rem control switch which looks like a relay, so it could be one of the relays that lives behind the battery on a PX. Still haven't investigated this problem.

There is a high chance of rubbing wiring somewhere, considering its all been moved around during the rebuild! One of the cables was trapped between the top cover of the handles bars and the metal beneath which caused the electric start button not to work, I think it was shorting out, the fuse wasn't blowing but the button wouldn't work, could be related. Thanks for the help.
