New with a 150cc scooter that has 0 electrical working.

[brokedowngy6]

Scooter had been running great for the last 2 years and still runs great but has 0 electrical working.

No headlights, tail lights, dash lights, Turn signals, brake lights, tach, electrical start.

Still runs great when I kick start it, even starts on first kick every time.

Now I get to spend some time hunting for causes of this issue and the cheapest way to fix it.

brokedowngy6, Welcome to SD. :cheers:

Sounds like the main fuse is blown.

[brokedowngy6]

I'll take a look. But they went one by one. First headlight and tail light. Then dash light. Then 2 weeks later break lights popped when I hit brakes then add I used turn signal they burnt out too. Then 5 miles later tach went.

What year/make/model is your scoot ?

[brokedowngy6]

It's a 2007 Chinese "velocity" 150cc gy6

Never even figured out who made it. Bought used. Had almost 6k miles.

Nice scoot !! :tup:, Did you find the problem yet ?.

Sounds like the R/R (Rectifier/Regulator) is going south on you. High voltage is killing the bulbs and will overcharge the battery. Not a hard part to change.

[brokedowngy6]

No resolution yet. Been working overnight so no time yet.

Question. Is the rectifier/regulator interchangeable between different models/years? Have a scrap scooter
