i have a 2011 jonway 150 and for the life of me I can’t figure this out. I over filled it after an oil change and had a nasty drip but it ran fine for a couple days. Then one night I turned it on and the head and running lights dimmed and went out. The turn and brake lights worked fine though. Then a week ago the starter just started whining. I could kick start it and it ran fine but the starter wasn’t engaging. I rode it one day like that because it’s my only ride right now. The next day, all the lights died except for the headlamps which all of a sudden working directly off the battery. So I changed the stator and the regulator. I went to start and the starter still didn’t engage. I took out all the wiring and checked every inch and found no cuts or exposed wires. I connected everything back up and the only thing that worked was the horn which is new too. As a test I turned on a turn signal and fried my new regulator. Now I’m completely stumped. Does anyone have a clue what might be the issue? Please, this is my only ride and taking the bus everywhere in my town is more than I can take. 😒

Disconnect the wires to the turn signal switch. Check the continuity from each switch wire to ground. Do you have and know how to use a elec meter and the wiring diagram?

I took the wire harness out and took it out of it’s plastic wrap and found the wires were completely wet. I dried them all off and reconnected everything. At first everything worked then the brake light went out with I replaced and it works fine, along with the signals. But I’m still have no running or headlights. I replaced the headlight bulbs and started it up. They came on and seemed ok until I revved up the rpm, then they slowly faded and went out. Now when ever I start the bike up they come on then fade out, could it be the regulator now charging enough or being drained or something like that? Other than this issue the bike runs great but I’d like to be able to ride at night too. 😒

not an electrical guy . learn as I go ; I bought aux lights , mounted em on the same circuit as my headlights but in place of headlights. Turns out I bought DC headlights . My system is DC except headlights which are AC . So when I turn on my key everything has power except headlights which come on after I start it . when I hooked up the DC lights to my AC circuit I blew the rectifier but not immediately . The lights worked , I patted myself on the back . Next morning I cranked it up everything worked for about 5 minutes then the lights went off . I read up on stuff here on 49cc scoot and watched this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2fL5DOSK-w&list=PL1_JDBt1LSiJQETjZiOFXBKtv-ZzfqEx0&index=3&t=0s . Found out I had blown my regulator/ rectifier . Even though our circumstances are different it seems like we have some similarities. I wonder if you maybe got the wrong regulator or a defective one . Hope theres something useful here . |

When this problem first started, the headlights were running straight off the battery. Even when it wasn’t on. Anyway, thx for the link. I’ll see about getting a different style regulator.

All the power circuits are regulated. Some headlights run directly off the battery and come on as soon as the ignition is turned on. Other headlights come on when the engine runs. They are all regulated or they would blow when the engine was revved up.
Wolf, you have several problems and they probably are not related. The starter spinning is a stuck bendix mechanism. You can find directions for fixing it in the tech section.
Some scoots have complex regulation systems. You will need to check the schematics and service manual for you scoot.
