All of the above info is good, scudder. There is one additional item to remember and that is HID's require a DC feed. If your scoot is the same as many 50cc and 150cc scoots, then the headlights are running on AC from the stator and not off the battery. HID's have to be connected to the battery and would add an additional load to the DC charging circuit that might be too much for the system. Changing over to an 11 pole stator and matching magneto would require a rectifier that matches the wiring connections for the stator. Some people have converted their scoots to full DC (combining the AC and DC portions of the stator), but that also requires some rewiring and a new regulator/rectifier. Scoots with 17 or 18 pole stators are usually all DC and make excellent choices for the HID conversion. Like jrryan suggested, go with LED's. This might save you enough power to run the HID's off the battery without overloading. I would try this before changing over the stator.

His picture opens up OK for me, JR. The head you linked to at BPNW is out of stock, but they suggest you use their high performance head starting at $199.99. If a head is needed, this one is available at $49.99. www.partsforscooters.com/Cylinder_head_gy6Gotta do that compression check! |

Opened her up to do the compression test. This is what I found. What is missing here? After getting the spark plug out. I tried screwing in the compression tester and it wouldn't fit. Too large. The spark plug is a wee little thing. Weird because it worked on my 2T 50cc.... To answer "What is missing here?" It looks like part of the emissions hardware. This means part of the exhaust is going right to the atmosphere and besides being loud it could cause a burnt exhaust valve as noted on earlier posts. Here is a picture of what is missing. It is the chrome tube thing with a valve device on the end of it. Did you remove it? www.partsforscooters.com/164-183_GY6_EGR_Valve_Cover?sc=9&category=613 |
