Hello everyone I have here a 2008 lancer Venice 150cc scooter. I have a problem with the wiring as you can see in the picture. That wire goes directly to the magneto. Every time i try to start it it glows hot red and it even melted the plastic cover as you can see. Can someone help me with this problem. Or can you send me a wiring diagram to see where this wire leads to so i can try to figure out the problem. Thank you in advance. Attachments:

start at the - battery and follow the black wire it should mount to the frame and at that point it shouls meet another black wire that goes to the engine .remove the bolt holding the wire and clean it up to bare metal make sure it tightens up good . and do the same where it bolts to the engine .

I just followed the wire from the battery and it dose bot to the frame. But at the same spot that it bolts on to the frame there is a green wire not black. Should I follow the green wire to make sure it goes to the engine or should there be a black wire

I also found these two wires there and they weren't connected to anything. Its green and red one. I followed them and the green one leads to the positive side of the battery and the green on to the negative side to the battery. I don't know were these should go. Can someone tell me. Attachments:

Well I painted the body on my scooter because the color faded away and yes i took a the fan cover off but i didn't take any wires off. Or at least I don't think so. And I tried to start it up again And this happen. I still haven't Put the body back on and I don't want to put it back until its running again. So yea it started after i pulled off the body. Do you think i might off pulled those wires off by accident.
