Welcome
You are right. Green noramlly means it is a ground wire. It is possible the former owner did some custome wiring. You should check for spliced wires. There is some wiring diagrams in the help area if you need a reference. I am on my phone or I would put a link here for you.

You can just use a multimeter and see how many volts it has while running for a general idea.

Is this a 50cc?
Just asking because they have fairly weak charging systems. But running you need to get at least 12 volts.

Nice, while the plastics are off be sure to look for other burned wires and loose connections.

Another thought. Does the idle need adjusting? Set it up to just under where the rear wheel moves.

follow the throttle cable to the carb. You should be able to see a adjusting screw on the bracket it goes to.
