ive got wires coming from the screen, red, blue, green, yellow, black.
Screen wires, throttle wires,
Wires don't have standard color codes in this stuff. The only way to find out what they do is to test them on a working system, note what signals and voltages you get, and then connect any new parts that have those same voltages and signals in or out (you'd also need to know the wiring for those new things already).
Without that, you'd need to open each device with the wires you need to connect, and see if they have markings on them that tell you what they are. Or if you can tell what they are by where they go, tracing them out on the PCB from the pad the wires solder to.
and i purchased a twist throttle that i dont think is compatible. its got a ton of wires coming off from it. It has a f/r switch i didnt see in the description, as well as another switch that i can only assume must be blinkers. The colors of wires coming out of the throttle are blue, green, white, black, red, brown, purple and yellow.
If you don't know what your system needs, it's tough to buy stuff to work with it. You need to find out what the system needs *first*, and *then* go find parts that can do those things / work with the available voltages, wires, signals.
The only wires coming from the controller that are disconnected is black white and red. When i first recovered the scooter the white and red wires were twisted together, to start it i beleive.
Or they twisted them together, and shorted stuff out, and blew it up, so it won't work without replacing those parts. Can't know until you find out what each of those wires are for, and what voltages / signals they *should* have on them, and then find out if they still have them.
It was my hope to just be able to wire the throttle directly to the controller bypassing the reader and screen
Did the throttle connect to the screen? Or the controller? If the former, then you probably have to have the screen to translate the throttle signals into what the controller requires.
If the latter, then you need to find out which wires on the controller that the throttle used to connect to, and then figure out which wire does which thing (power, signal, ground, etc). Then which wires on your new throttle are which, etc, then connect them up.
If you connect the wrong things, you could have anything from perfect operation to simply not working to destroying the parts that you've connected incorrectly.
Is it possible i could just use a basic thumb throttle and power switch combo just so i can get it going?
We have no way of knowing what is possible; you'd have to experiment and find out.
If it has antitheft equipment that isn't working, or present, and that equipment is correctly designed and integrated, it isn't going to work without it.
If the AT is not properly designed / integrated, and is easily bypassed, you might get it working if you figure out how to bypass it, but that means it's pretty worthless as AT.
