I found the problem

Being that it was only getting hot and melting at that connector, and no where else on those wires, that it HAD to be the connection. I cut that wire, stripped it, and reconnected it as good as I could. Result? No more melting wire!!!!

Again, thanks a million for everyones help.

Wow, I found the problem fast. Check out my picture below to see where I found a connector loose!!



I am now presented with a problem that arose a month or so ago when I did my full PDI. After changing all of my vacuum and fuel lines last month I started the scooter up and after a minute or so I had smoke coming from the right rear of the scooter. I seen that the plastic connector was roasted so I re-routed the wire. After re routing the wire, I let it run for 10 minutes or so with no smoking and/or melting. Well when I stumbled upon the headlight solution, I looked at this wire I re-routed and it is again melting and smoking (see pic). I know these three yellow wires go to the top of the engine oil crankcase (??) but what are the other ends of this connected to? Oh, and these 3 wires aren't normal electrical wires with plastic coating its a different type of coating, kind of like its insulated.

What can I do to stop this and where does it go to? I finally got my headlight/taillight/cooling fan issue fixed but I dont feel safe riding until I get the burnt wire issue repaired.

Thanks,
Chas

OK, I posted this over at scootdawg with no luck. Maybe I can get some luck here.

My headlights wouldnt work the other day. I played around with it and they will work when I keep the "passling light" button pushed. My tail lights and cooling fan works when Im on high beam only. Headlights dont work on either high or low beam, only when the "passing lights" button is pushed.

The 15A fuse at the battery is good. Any idea what i can do? I have the MC54-250B clone.

Thanks guys!
