Hi. I've had gremlins for a while on my scooter, current problem is no start (common) and headlamps not working.
My neighbor got out his fancy volt meter and we tested every connection. Battery to headlamps, work. Battery to headlamp switch, to headlamp, fail. I ordered a new switch.
Battery to starter switch, engine cranks, but does not turn over.
Battery to rectifier to starter switch, sometimes engine cranks, sometimes nothing.
I ordered a new spark plug and rectifier. While trying to see if the spark plug "sparked" I held the ignition coil with my hand, and my hand tingled, but I could not see a spark. I imagine power is going through the line, since i felt it, but the plug was bad? I don't know...
Do rectifiers go bad? my understanding is the rectifier is a solid state electronic device, and that's about all I know...I hope these new parts work.
1 year ago I replaced the CDI, solenoid, ignition coil, spark plug boot, starter and starter switch.
When we tested all the connections, we got almost zero ohms, which means there is almost no resistance in the circuits, i guess...electricity is not my thing...
