Ok, I was out riding when my headlight went out. I figured it had just burned out but then my back lights on the speedometer and fuel gauge got really bright, then went out couple minute later, and I just replaced those at the end of summer. All the other lights work, just not these. So, how can I tell if this is some sort of electrical issue besides burnt out bulbs?

Ok, update, its not the throttle itself, I took it apart and the cable doesn't move if the temperature is below freezing for a few hours, but everything else looks right. I'm guessing water got into the throttle cable and is freezing it in place, so I need to fix that.... as soon as it stops snowing for a while.

Good news, I left the scooter sitting while it warmed up above freezing today, and the throttle now works just fine. The headlight and gas gas/speedometer lights aren't coming on though, so I still have to resolve that problem.

I have a 2007 TGB Laser 150cc scooter with an issue. Took it to a meeting this evening and it ran fine most of the way there, but the headlight went out about halfway. I figured no problem, I'm only 10 minutes from home and there are streetlights all the way back. But when I started the scooter up after the meeting first the throttle wouldn't move. I used a little more force and it roared wide open. Now I can't get it unstuck. It goes full throttle every time I turn it on, and I can't get any response from the throttle, its completely loose. I tried seeing if the carburetor throttle cable gap had a bolt loose, but that's not the case this time. So what can I try next?
