Kind of new to scooters and engines, but obviously I've knocked something lose or misconnected. After the winter, it was really sluggish to start so I charged the battery, replaced the spark plug, and cleaned up the carb, drained and put in fresh fuel, and replaced the fuel filter.
Now it starts ok, I have no power to any of the gauges, but the lights, turn signals, and brake light work fine. I've checked all the visible connectors (near the engine where I was working) but everything there seems fine. I checked the fuse coming off the positive terminal of the battery and that seemed ok (tried the spare one too with no luck). Thoughts on what would take out all three gauges and specifically where to check?

Did you check the connection up front where everything plugs in?
It might not have anything to do with the work you did.

I suppose it's worth a try. We'll see if it just fell off or something. If nothing else, removing the front panel will let me trace the whole pathway.

[replyingto=beldorx]beldorx[/replyingto]Well, I think it was all unrelated. After messing with the float in the tank, I think it was rubbing on the wall. Moving fixed that. The RPM gauge needle is bent down a bit and I think it was/it getting stuck on the screw that is around the 2k mark.
So now back to getting the engine running right and not stalling.
