wont start wont crank wolf rx-50
regularly driven 2-4 times a week.
wolf rx-50 with 49cc gy6 qmb139 engine.
battery 12.x volts.
full voltage at the starter push button.
no voltage at the starter when starter push button is pressed.
ideas?
tks,
paul

That's a QMB139 engine, roughly the same bike as the Chicago Scooter Company "Go" model. Aside from the engine, it is not that different from the genuine models in terms of layout/wiring. I'm going to guess that your starter relay is bad. Trace the wire back from the starter up to the relay, and make sure you have a good connection there. Then, take a voltage reading on the line that is supposed to go down to the starter. If you have no power, backtrack to the line that supplies power to the relay and repeat the test. Keep going backwards till you find where the interruption is.

Im looking for the starter relay. Is this it? https://imgur.com/a/HfYIOXe

Your first image is the CDI. Your second image is the starter relay.

The thinner gauge wires that come from it go to the starter switch. If you apply 12V across those, but no clicky-clicky from the relay, then the relay is bad.
The lug terminals are for feeding the battery voltage directly to the starter, and should be a short circuit when the relay is engaged. I'm a bit confused by your resistance measurements... not sure what you are measuring where... one red wire goes to the battery, the other goes to the starter. The latter will have a low impedance to ground (i.e. under 10 Ohms) always.
