Ok here is an update !! It has been an eventful couple of weeks. After several checks I found my voltage regulator was also not working properly. During checks with the multimeter I got 15vDC or higher at the turn signal flash module and was the same in a few other areas especially at the dc out on the regulator . With this info I ordered a new 5 pin regulator off Ebay and told the seller I needed it by the end of the month . Usual shipping time from India is 2 weeks minimum. They sent the regulator via DHL. Once the package got here I discovered a big screw up by the seller. I got sent a 3 pin regulator when it was supposed to be a 5 pin. Needless to say I'm stuck waiting for the seller to send the right 5 pin regulator . My scoot has a battery (and had a electric starter on the previous 150cc engine) and takes the 5 pin to power the ac headlight system , dc turn signal's ,horn etc. The 3 pin regulator doesn't have the dc out I need. As a temporary "Band-Aid" for the turn signals so I can ride the scoot I have wired them in a direct voltage connection to the battery. I have not had any further issues doing this . With it wired to the battery ( with fuse) I have to make sure the signals are off especially when the scoot is not running. The engine is a kick start only . More will come as things progress. The scoot is ride able and with the sunny warm weather I would rather scoot than drive ! That's a rundown on things at this point. The new ignition switch finally came in today and is now on the scoot.
Cheers !!

I wish they would update my Pistons and Pistons rank. I'm definantly not no D@#% novice mechanic anymore !! Especially when it comes to Vespa P and PX series scoots !

I have attempted to make repairs to the switch tonight. I'll know more Tuesday when I can reinstall the d@#$ thing. Either way I'm ordering another just to be safe ! More fun and meowhem to come !

The 2T runs but has an electrical issue of some sort with the turn signals . What is it doing ? Not sure just yet . After spending Wed-Friday volunteering and helping set up a Chabad Passover Seder for 50+ people, I still have not had the time or chance to pull the head set apart to look for any kind of an electrical short inside. Early last week I replaced the battery with a new one hoping that would solve the issue . It didn't . Right now I still don't have a gas gauge and my turn signals are screwy. Screwy as in turn signal on , the rear light flashes as does the neutral light on the dash. Unlike a GY6 scoot, the wiring harness for the speedometer and controls on my 2T, comes up through a narrow opening in the steering shaft. I'll be posting more on this thread as time moves along and am also hoping the weather will start cooperating better than it has.
Cheers !

Sorry for being abit late : And u paid total for the stock 150cc 4t scoot ?? If you need the larger engine power then go for it!! You would still have your stock 150 engine as a backup . I went to the tx-200 for 1 reason : more power . My gas mileage with the 200cc isn't as good as the stock 150 but it gives me more get up and go when I need it.
