2008 bashan 150cc

engine died while stopped, will not start again, no power/electricity to accessories (eg headlights)

day before this happened, while driving, gas gauge dropped to "empty" (plenty of gas) and then returned to proper level. this occurred 2-3 times.

battery charge 12.73. auto store that checked battery didnt know what cca to test at, neither did i, checked at 209 cca.

fuse ok.

what next?

thanks

Sounds like you have a short somewhere in the wiring, or, one of the electrical connectors has come unplugged. So, check all the connections and if that does not work start looking for a shorted out wire, or a loose grounding wire.

Also check your fuses, they may have blown.
