gy6 150cc Jonway - keeps blowing fuses By natedoggaz (Read 1,277 times)

Hey all,

Having a major issue with my scoot blowing fuses.

The battery fuse (10a) keeps blowing or wanting to blow...

I have disconnected virtually everything - all front lights, all tail lights, starter, CDI, solenoid, voltage regulator...etc...

And the battery fuse wants to blow just by turning on the ignition..!
I would put my hand on the fuse and when it stars to get warm, I switch it off.

The only thing I found that stopped the scoot from wanting to blow the fuse was when I disconnected the STATOR.

I started snipping wires (5 wire stator) and spliced them back until I found the culprit.

The wire that made the fuse want to blow was the yellow stator wire. With the other 4 wires still connected (white and green, and the other 2 separate wires) the fuse did not want to blow...

Is it possible I have a bad stator that is causing these issues??

...Or any thoughts would be much appreciated...

Thank you!!

Over charging,,I would think the regulation is the culprit,,,

man... what a total P.I.T.A. - found the culprit... !!

A yellow wire going to the stator - and a few other things - somehow shorted out and fused with what appears to be a black ground wire...

The trick I used was to turn on the ignition for maybe 5 seconds - which gave enough time for the wires to get warm before the fuse blew. I just felt around for those warm wires and followed them to where the short was...

I cut out the short and spliced the wires back together.

Starts up great and runs now!
