Hello there I'm new to the moped scene I bought a 150cc GY6 moped from a friend at work for $100 so my girl could have a way to get around and so far I put $350 worth of Parts into it it had a lot of safety issues bolts missing in critical areas (swing arm was banging into the motor) horn didn't work no front turn signals, back turn signals stayed on solid. (had a bad turn signal flasher) put a new carburetor new starter front brakes didn't work at all replace the whole front brake system didn't come with a battery had to get a new battery for it. No exhaust so I put one on. The back wheel was wobbling because of 5mm bushing was missing from it just a big mess but I got it running.(it is a miracle my co-worker is still alive)
Anyway on to the main point of my posting here I think the stator is bad but I am not sure I have taken it out only three or four times since I've got it and I've had to trickle charge the battery twice I know that mostly has to do with another problem I'm having where the starter doesn't quite grab and turn over the engine it makes a grinding sound and then it'll sound like it's grabbing and then it'll just make that grinding sound pretty sure it's the starter clutch but I'm also wondering if the stator is properly charging the battery I tried running it without the battery and the headlights are dim and the horn didn't work then I tested the battery with a multimeter with it both off and on and the voltage was about the same (although the voltage did go up by half a volt when I revved it) then I tested the power coming from the rectifier on both the white and yellow wires it has a 4 pin rectifier by the way one wire was testing 13 volt AC the other was only testing 6 so I'm just wondering if I need to swap out the stator or not. I drove it for about an hour earlier today. I made 3 stops. Btw i noticed it starts easier after driving it if I start it back up after only 5-10 minutes of being turned off. And I tested the voltage on the battery after I got home with it off and only lost .10 volts.
