Charging issue on 250 chinese! By F2rgk (Read 686 times)

I need a wiring diagram for a 250cc 4-stroke scoooter,...looks like the honda but it's a 2007 Genmar? Silver with big storage bin. Someone hacked into the wiring and I see 2 regulator rectifiers? The Scoot isn't charging and I found nealry 50 volts coming out of the rectifier and even blew the headlights out! SpeedRacer has a pic of the scooter I'm working on. Any help would be appreciated!

resistance on 3 yel wires from stator: 1.0
A/C voltage from stator 25-70 upon revving

Thanks for the help everyone! I finally figured out what happened. First, never assume something that someone tells you. Secondly, start with the basics! Third, found out that the battery was dead in about every cell, the wiring harness was so bad that the grounds weren't even wroking, and one rectifier was the actual one needed; however, the second one was tied in for the stereo? Don't ask why, it doesn't have a radio! This thing was a big pile of Chinese POOP! Anyway, corrected the wiring, replaced the rectifier and stator, life is good,..it runs!
