Someone may have tried to jumpstart the bike with a car with the engine running ( in the car),,, or hooked the battery up backwards,,, I'd bf checking fuses too as long as your going thru everything,,,,,, seems like you know your way around machinery Oliver

Check the fuse, make sure you test the side of the fuse that is away from the battery to make sure voltage is passing through it. If its a TUBE type like this one in the picture THEY make look good but they could be broken on either end where you cannot see the break in the wire. Alleyoop  |

Thank you both! I certainly would not put it past my neighbor to have tried that, jumping it with his auto. It is exactly what I suspect happened too. I know just enough to get myself into the mess, Cyborg  Alleyoop, I appreciate so much, your annotated illustrations, thank you! I have a multi meter. Can do! Looks like I'll be splicing some wires together temporarily, it fried a connector that lives next to it and damaged some of the wires.That ought to take care of some problems before I ever have to experience them I ordered the ebay rectifier that I found with all the same wire colors and indications Rectifier for 157qmj |

The fuse is good. It looks factory original. When the battery and rectifier get here in a couple of days, I'll check for voltage.

OEM chinese fuses are not to be trusted. Best to replace with blade type made in USA fuse and holder from auto parts store.
They look good, test good, and open under load, then take it out and test it again and it will still test good. That isn't the case with all of them but it has happened too many times to just be a fluke.

Oh brother ! So, I received the rectifier just now. And yes, the colors of the wires match but, the orientation of them into the rectifier , doesn't.  On the old one (So fried) the wires entered the body of the rectifier at different positions than the new one. Yet, the wire positions by color DO enter their connectors corespondent to the old connector.Is anyone sure if I should worry? Also, I've been looking at tires for the rear . I'm not sure if the tires that are on there are correct but , they are both "4.00 x 12" front and rear. Yet, when I look at tires, many of them have different criteria for sizing in their listings, for example , here Pirelli tire link . I'm tellin ya, buying this generic brand scooter sure has made each step confusing but, I'm grateful to you all for helping me along !   |

Well, at any vendor, there are several that say that they are for the Jonway 150T-2 GY6. But they list by PIN count and color combination and specify on this one, specify that it is for " Gy6 150cc Voltage Regulator Rectifier (2 plugs, 3-pin each) for 152QMI 157QMJ" and the number of pins per side and colors do match up. My engine is a 157QMJ however, the difference worries me . That's why I ask if someone here has particular knowledge. I am awaiting a reply from the vendor.

I would not worry about the colors where they come out of the rectifier the colors what is important is on the output of the plugs that the colors match where they plug into. The Red is usually the DC out to charge the battery and the White is usually the lights and the green is ground.
