Good idea switching to LED bulbs. I have had starting problems lately but it could be because my battery is only 6 amp hours. I will receive an 8.6 amp hour battery next week. I will keep the charged 6 amp hour battery in my storage compartment in case I need to jump start.

Battery reads 12.8 volts at rest, and 13.4 volts with engine running. Is 13.4 volts good enough?

Was a lot tougher than my old Yamaha Riva because of different tire size. I ride a Buddy now.

Hi everyone. I am working on a 125cc 2013 Lance Havana made in Taiwan. It worked fine until recently. Now it idles fine, but once I start riding, it stalls a couple minutes later. Then it won't restart unless I walk the scooter a few feet. Then it starts and then stalls again a minute later. Sometimes, the starter turns over but does not start. I drained the gas tank and replaced with high octane. That did not help. I changed the spark plug which did not help either. Any ideas? Here is the engine....
