Hello!
I have a 49cc scooter, not exactly sure what the brand is, but the model # is YB50QT-6. I recently replaced the broke down motor with a GY6 49cc engine. Ever since the motor was replaced, the engine starts fine and everything seems to work with one exception. The headlights start off working, but as the engine runs, they dim to where they're not on, BUT when I use the brake, or the signals they work as they do (for example, if I use the signals, the headlight flashes with them). I figure it may be something I fudged with the wiring, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone knows the specifics so I'm not blindly poking around in there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your old engine probably had the 8 pole stator with the floating ground. Your new one probably has the 6 pole stator. Your headlights are sucking a lot of juice, and your stator isn't making enough to run them and charge the battery. Those lights run on AC voltage straight from the stator. I would get an 11 pole stator and 7 wire regulator, and run all of your lights off the battery via a relay.
