The seal may need to be replaced.

Yes rectifiers sometimes fail.
Barrow your neighbor's voltmeter and go step by step with the video below. If you do, you will probably find the problem.

So it wouldn't damage the stator? How could the setup overcharge if each regulator is outputting correct voltage? With the 3 phase (3 yellow wire connection) stator, each wire will have electricity going from the stator to R/R. I think it's around 14volts. But don't quote me on that. One job of the R/R is to take those 3 streams of electricity and funnel them into one consistent stream as an output. So if you have 3 R/R directing electricity to the battery, I would think that would be 3 times the electricity. It's a very interesting concept, but practically it makes no sense to wire a scooter that way. It would create a whole spider webs mess of wires and a pain in the butt finding mounting points for the 3 R/Rs. Plus you would have 2 additional points of possible failure in your electrical system. |

For a 50cc, I would do .003inch intake and .004 exhaust.
As for removing the plastic panels, it's just something you have to do. Your engine will thank you with reliable operation for taking the time to check on it. My taotao is the same way. But after removing and installing the plastics several times, you will be able to do it in a very short amount of time.

Technically the setup may work, but the setup could overcharge the battery and damage it.

We have several trusted vendors advertising on the forums main page. Amazon and eBay are other options.
Scrappy dog scooters and partsforscooters are two of the main sellers.

First off, welcome to the forum!
As for the gas, after sitting for two years that should be the first thing to go. I would drain it and put some fresh gas in.
Next would be cleaning the carb. If the carb wasn't drained before storage, it probably would be easier just to buy a new one.
Then I would change all the fluids, checks the valves, and change the tires. At that point you should have a reliable ride.

Would I be correct in thinking that this is a petcock?  Yes, that is the fuel petcock. The vacuum operated ones are know to fail. Try replacing it, or installing a manual shutoff petcock. |

Since you installed a new cylinder are you sure your timing is correct?

That alumaloy looks like a really useful product and easy to use. I'm thinking about getting some for myself.

As for the carb, check scrapys or Amazon. I have seen carb rebuild kits on both. It will come with a new float and several other prices to keep as spares.
