I am still not good at searching on here as after an hour I did not find what I needed. Soooo -- I am seeking some help with a 50cc TaoTao ATM wiring issue.
Customer says the seller will not help. He brings the scooter in stating it will not start. It has 750 km on it, ran fine the first 500 then he could only kick start it. We find the fuse wire melted at the battery and all the wires just below the ignition connection melted and fuse blown. So - we electrical taped the wires and they still heat up (key on 20 seconds). We've tried a new ignition with same results. Battery is 12.5volts.
The thought is he needs a new wiring harness. But - I am wondering if it's some component. If so, I see us just melting the new harness.
Please tell me what you would try.

Test parasitic draw. Start with disconnecting stator . . if regulator/rectifier one-way diode function has failed, stator charging coils become a load. What are charging volts?

1- I watched your video on parasitic draw. Interesting for future issue. This battery does not drain overnight. This was not this customer's concern.
2- Re: charging voltage --- scooter does Not start.
3- Are you saying disconnect the stator and see if wires still get hot and if it blows another fuse?
Note: We have just connected the wire without the fuse for short tests (hand on wires)
