Hello Mike,
Looking at a C70M wiring diagram, see
http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/WiringDiagrams/MCwiring.php#class
choose C70M
The starter should work, if the ignition switch is on and battery power is supplied to the ignition and starter solenoid (starter magnetic switch). It is easier on the ignition if you use the kick starter:)

Second question, if there is a short somewhere causing this, can I disconnect all the wires to the rectifier to see if this scoot will start with the kick starter? Should the electric start work without the rectifier wires hooked up? I don't care about any lights right now, just want t check engine to see if it will run.
