I've been told that if the the headlight glows as soon as you turn on the key, its a DC system. If it doesn't light up until the engine is running, you have an AC system. True. Get a higher wattage bulbs(55w for 150cc i beleve), if those blow, replace regulator/rectifier. I read the same thing.. tried brighter bulbs with same result. I looked into this rectifier thing at one point, thinking maybe there was a resistor or something I could install. Not sure if there is one on the 50cc scooter's wiring system. I'll hafta look into that. Thanks! |

Alot faster than the 50cc... I had tried an 80cc big bore kit installed by a shop in the beginning, but it kept going through alot of oil.. so I just ordered a 150 and welded new mounts. I'll get my gps on it sometime and see if I can get an accurate speed. |

Hey all, been a few years... I was trying to find an answer over at scootdawg lol
I have a wildfire 50cc, and did an engine swap to a 150cc oh, about 5 years ago. It ran fine, except the headlights would get so hot, they'd start to melt the lenses and then burn out. I bought a motorcycle and forgot about it.
Fixin to dig it out of storage and fix it for the youngin, lol
I'm guessing this is a stator problem. Not sure if I should put in a 6 coil stator, or if perhaps I need an 8 coil, AC stator?
I dont wanna wire the headlights to the battery.
Any ideas?
