[hnm3355]

hello every one im in need of some advice i recently got my 2nd scooter running  and im having trouble with the lights, at first the low beams would only come on after accelerating and flicker alot when ideling, after a short ride those dam things went out, mainly all light  tail  low/high,   only thing working was turn signal and stop light.

what do i need to do,,, fox can u help me out   ps i fixed the first one it was the air/fuel mixture screw

Blinkers working ok?
You will probably find it is the stator that needs replacing. You can try changing out the regulator first, it's easier to get to, but my bet is on the stator.

To replace the stator, you need to find out what the one you have looks like. How many coils coming off of it, and what wire set up it has. Replace it with the same. The stator is behind the fan and flywheel. The flywheel removal requires a impact wrench, and flywheel remover tool.

A wrench like this is real handy, w a 17mm impact socket, can be found local and should never cost more than $35-$50

Flywheel puller like this one for the 150cc, I don't know what your scooter engine is.....

well ill go ahead and swap out the regulator from m y first one and see if that makes a diffrence but if not then i guess ill be getting a new tool and stator


thanks for the quick reply

its not the regulator but the scooter drives like a champ during the day, im going to swap out the stator but need to know which one it is i don;t have the tools to remove the stator yet but i don;t want to order the wrong one, i was looking around and i think i need to order the 8 coil stator.    if any one can help out with this that would help out alot.   its a 150cc adventure scooter.

It not really a good idea to buy one before you look at the old one but I'd be willing to bet you have an 8 coil. Look at the harness coming from the stator. Some have a 3 prong plug with two loose wires. Some have a 4 prong plug. They vary. Make sure you get one with the right plug.

well i didn't want to order the wrong one so we remove the fan and was able to count the coils and its a 6 coil with a  3 wired plug and 2 loose, fox thanks so much for the fast reply

Never actually seen a 6 coil in person before. An 8 coil should work if the plug connectors are the same. I've seen people upgrade from an 8 coil to an 11 coil before.

thanks so much for the info we actually ordered it after my friend looked threw the fly wheel. and for removing the flywheel and simple steering wheel puler and a nut was simple. but after the new stator we had to spend 20 buxs on ne light bulbs.

thanks again for all the help and now were just going to upgrade them and make them faster.

 The steering wheel puller is nice in a pinch, till you work on that one flywheel that just won't come off Then you buy the the flywheel puller. I used to recommend it  as a cheap tool you can get off the shelf at any auto parts store. Worked on 2 differrent engines, engine No. 3 not so much
