My little 50cc Chinese scooter will not charge the battery. It kick starts just fine and runs just fine, but the battery will not charge. I disconnected all my wiring, installed a new regulator and started my scooter. The output of the regulator was reading around 14-15 volts. Once I started plugging in my other components the voltage output from the regulator went to 0. I believe it burned the regulator out as it was very high when I took it out. I disconnected all my wiring again, installed the old regulator and started the scooter. The regulator was putting out only around 11 volts, 12 max, with high RPMs. I then plugged my other wiring back in and the output of the regulator dropped to 7 volts. I check the stator output and it reads about 20-30 volts at idle and 40-60 volts at high RPMs. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Is my stator just undersized to power all my accessories and charge the battery, or is there maybe a short somewhere?
