Well didn't wait until tomorrow. Got it to fire up and she sounds great. Tried the kick starter due to the one on my old motor did not work it would not engage until about halfway thru the down stroke and then didn't give enough to turn the motor over. This motor 3 kicks and she started, was already warm but still glad to have the kick starter if needed.

Then you have nothing to worry about. On another note IT LIVES. I couldn't wait till tomorrow, had to redo vacuum lines didn't have enough just off carb, so uncapped the intake and connected with a T cranked and she fired up. Only thing I noticed is at an idle it seems to idle than drop about 5 rpm then recover, carb seems to be adjusted correctly, if I richen it rpms drop, when I twist the throttle it revs up nicely no hesitation or popping. Granted I did not let the rpms go over 4.5k just a quick twist and let go, when released motor did not pop or stutter, settled down nice and fast to idle. Going to change oil tomorrow and put plastics back on and take for a little slow cruise thru the neighborhood.

Update so far so good how ever TMS does not state the motor came with a 5pin regulator, also make sure to check the wires coming from solenoid to harness, mine were in the plug backwards. Going for first start up tomorrow. At least if its not raining.

So an update, wife made me walk the dog, so I made her let me do something to the scooter. So went to change the solenoid and first thing I noticed the wires from the solenoid to the harness are backwards. The wires in the plug are switched. Put the old solenoid on hit starter button and it cranked. So tomorrow is going to put gas and adjust carb, then change oil and gear oil.

I would have to dig through my saved info to find the actual numbers, but if memory serves, yes, that's fine... Did you test the stator unplugged from the R/R? You will get false readings if the R/R is plugged in. I searched through the wiring and nothing seems bad , so to keep me from getting a headache I'm going to switch the headlights to DC , run the lights straight to the battery . I'll have a separate switch for high and low beams. My dash lights will still run off of the regulator since its putting enough volts out for them . I hooked up the h4 headlight bulbs and they are bright as heck. Also I won't have to run my head lights during the daytime ! I'll keep the small led bulbs hooked up to the RR also " the small bulbs beside the headlight bulbs". Make sure to check your states laws on scooters and motorcycles male sure they don't have a law that must have a headlight on at all times. Some states do require that |

I have a rear tire on the front of my scooter, had 130/60/13 and I went to 130/70/13 and am using the Michelin City Grip, have the tire installed the way the arrow points, have noticed I have better grip and maneuverability with these tires on than I did with the original tires and they were going bald after only about 2500 miles. Like oldchopperguy stated unless you are on an actual motorcycle going faster than these scooters can go I don't see any issues running a rear on the front.

No the battery is sitting at just over 12 volts after sitting on my floor for the past week, don't think it is the battery as not getting a click or anything from solenoid. I do have a kick starter have not tried to start with the kick starter, due to there being no gas in it right now, wanted to get it to turn over, then was going to fill with gas and start and adjust carb. So going to try the different solenoid, if that doesn't work going to try jumping the solenoid and if that works may be a loose or broken wire at starter button.

Yes I can read a wiring diagram. They usually make my head want to explode so the simpler the better  This should allow you to trace your starting circuit.... BTW, Did you remember to ground your motor to the frame?  yes I put the ground wire back onto the valve cover bolt it was on on the old motor |

and if the polarity doesnt matter then its not the solonoid I know the plug to harness is correct, when I said backwards I may have put on the rail backwards so wires are going to outside then to harness instead of them facing into the engine compartment. If that makes sense to you lol,
