2008 Bashan eagle w/ oil leak & charging/light pro By seanstr (Read 2,350 times)

I got 2 problems, oil leak here under where carb is (took it out to show you where, left is front of scooter, right is rear). It is some kind of cover but why all the oil?

& the other problem is the headlight, & charging system aren't functioning.

Also, I've got a new noise. It is a strange noise that shows up around 30mph, & gets worse until I get past 40mph or so

& there isn't a performance problem, just a worrisome noise coming from the thing on the right that is in front of the muffler, that looks like a lawnmower pull cord thing. I don't know what it's called, but the vibration from the noise is very strong, & really is noticable if you get it on the stands, then get it up to speed, & get that noise going, & put your foot/shoe on the muffler.

Are you getting any voltage from the stator besides just the spark ? You need a multimeter and access to your CDI . The Black and red stripe wire is voltage out from the stator that is part of the plug that goes into the cdi. The black white is your kill switch. There is a pdf under diagnostics : no spark pdf in the electrical reference area of the forum. That should help with diagnostics . Your voltage regulator is also a prime suspect at this point because of the lack of lights . Have you checked the voltage at the battery when your scoots running ?

Only voltage is battery voltage. The wiring diagram makes the rectifier the most likely culprit

Hey man, I'm sorry we couldn't get organized on that e-mail photo. I wasn't dodging you, it just never came through. Anyway, from what I can see in that picture that's your timing chain tensioner. See if you can tighten those little bolts on the side up some, not the bigger one in the middle! Don't get too carried away, they can strip, just give them a good snug. Rich

Here's a video for a quick charging and rectifier check:

See if that tells you anything and if not let us know and we'll have to do more multimetering as Will said. Rich

Well I hate to bother you for another picture but I'm going to have to look at what you're talking about. You really need to get organized with Photobucket, the attachments are very hard to discern anything. Rich

The rectifier & lights wiring harness connection was unplugged. Don't know when that happened but I have lights & plenty of charging voltage. As for oil leak I replaced the tube filter that comes off vacuum that gets plugged into the air intake. Most of the oil leak fixed. Now I've still got some so I'll trouble shoot again another day.

I think the PULL Looking thing that looks like a lawnmover is the The Fan Cover. Hey Seanstr
Is this what you are talking about that you think is vibrating?

Man Alley....that's a nice pic! Where'd you get that? I've never seen it before. That's a short case isn't it? I'm going to put that in the tech image library if you haven't already. Rich.

It's in there now Bro, Rich

Not sure if that is a scooter motor.. no rear brake unless it is for a disc brakes only.. also has a gear shift by the look of it...

[seanstr]

That is exactly like my scooter engine.

[sprocket]

With a gear shift? How are your rear brakes done..calliper?
