How do I fix this headlight problem on my scooter?

by Brian
(Houston, TX)

I put a Baja 150cc engine in a Jonway 150cc scooter. Wires and plugs are the same. I put a better regulator/rectifier in it. The engine runs great, charges great, but as soon as I give it gas,

the headlights and marker lights blow out. It even has a new high/low beam switch.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting this issue?

You've got a rectifier problem check a.c voltage going in should be around 35_40. Then check d.c voltage coming out should be at least 11 no more than 14 if you have less than 11it is probably your stator if it is over 14 it's most likely your rectifier

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
