and now own 2 150cc Scooters.. a Baron Vintage retro, and a schwinn 150cc Newport 150.

I love them so much.. but the info on these two is very rare and sporadic...

So, im going to combine my hello, with a little.. Wtf is up with my scooter....

My Schwinn 150cc Newport 150 has what looks like 2 Regulator/rectifiers....

The stator runs great, but wont charge the battery. (also did enough tests on the battery to find its pretty much dead. holds a charge for a few minutes only)

But seriously, i cannot figure out why i have a 4 pin lateral Reg/rect and a 6 pin Reg/Rect... if i have one bad one, will it fry a new one? do i have to change both at the same time? and is that another reason why my headlamps keep popping?

I'm going to impart something (That I found , the hard way) that MOST people already know. A sulfated battery , will Take a charge but will NOT hold one! That might explain you're "holds a charge for a few minutes only" Just trying to help! Welcome! Irish
