:'(OK! I'll admit to the Dumb A. title  . Late night raining and a dead batt. Went to jump start and when I hit the start button I saw I was hooked up backwards. I found the 15A fuse on the + wire blown, no pwr. changed out the fuse on the - neg wire no pwr. I mean NADA ZIP nothing. where do I go next? Is there more fuse some where. This is on a Roketa MC 74 150 also known as a 150T-10C  |

[replyingto=renegade]renegade[/replyingto]Well good news/bad news. It's running again. I had replaced the OEM fuse with a AG buss American and it did not hold. Used the spare F15 all good. Got a little smoke when I hook it all back up from the right hand side but could find nothing but a lose nut on the Solenoid. Seems no damage done. Now I have no head or tail lights.. Turn and brake fine. No head and tail. Pulled the front pod off but found no fuse there. Any help where another fuse might be??  |

Check for blown bulbs. Your stator might be fried.

[replyingto=gatekeeper]gatekeeper[/replyingto]  Thanks I'll look in to the stator suggestion ;D |

check the bulbs first... if they are ok... check the voltage regulator... then move to the stator. The stator is the hardest of the three to replace.

Urban--Good advice. If the stator was fried and I unhooked the battery would the bike still run? Old school did this to check generators on pre alternator cars. Did this on the scoot this AM and the bike stayed running.. Still can't figure why I have brake and turn but no tail or head unless there is a second circuit in there. Well I'll go to the bulbs first then the regulator.
Thx for all of the good trouble shooting advice I am sure one of us will hit the cause soon.......

hmmm.... Someone with a bit more experience on the electrical can chime in, but I do have a theory. I think the ignition is fired off a different set of windings in the stator.

Most of the scooters run the headlights, tail lights, and other lights off of the stator directly as AC. The turn signals, ignition system etc. use DC power. So when the engine is running the headlights should work. There is a voltage regulator and a bridge rectifier in there for recharging the battery and providing DC power of course.

Well I have the 150 fixed. it was the voltage regulator The shop I took it to was quick and priced right. Took it in on Thursday they called Fri. and I rode it home today...Their work was clean and they made sure all was ready when I got there...
