btw, I'll be selling the new 8 coil stator and rotor if anyone is interested. I'll post it in the for sale section later. Thanks!

Going back to a 6 coil stator with the 4 pin regulator worked. Scooter runs great now! Thanks again for pointing out the floating ground on the 8 coil stator. That was definitely my problem. Ride safe!

Thanks Silverfox. That's what I suspected. So, is it safe to assume the regulators I have are bad or do you think they will still work with the 6 pole stator? Thank you.

How much voltage should be going to the plugs for the lights in a 6 coil vs. 8 coil setup. I was seeing over 90 volts with the 8 coil setup (no lights connected, so no load distribution).

Out of curiosity, I'm a bit confused when I hear people say to get a 7 pin regulator. My harness doesn't have a 7 pin plug (it only has the 4 pin plug). Am I missing something?

Thanks Alley, but I'm going to try to bring it back to original working condition first.
John, I have already ordered a new 6 pole stator, but if I need anything else, I will let you know. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I will order a new 6 pole stator. Much appreciated!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help with replacing my stator. I'm working on a 150cc Longbo scooter that wasn't starting and it turned out to be the stator. It originally came with a 6 pole stator and I replaced it with an 8 coil. The scooter now starts, but blows headlights. I've tried three regulators and still have the problem. I just performed an additional test on the stator itself and noticed there is no coil resistance except between the white and yellow wires. If I understand correctly, there should be resistance between white and ground, as well as between yellow and ground, but I get "OL" on my meter when I test those.
In short, I have two questions:
1. Could the fact that there's no coil resistance be the cause of the excessive power blowing the headlights?
2. Is there a difference between an 8 coil stator and a 6 coil stator where the 8 coil is supplying significantly more power and therefore blowing the headlights?
I'm wondering if I should just look for another 6 pole stator to try instead of another 8.
Thank you very much!

I'm working on my brother's scooter (Longbo 150cc), which also has an overcharging problem (and blowing headlights) and after replacing a few electronic components and having two bad regulators, I decided to check the wiring once more. Turns out I had a short. The yellow wire going from the stator to the regulator had continuity with ground. I didn't think that was good so I 'unwrapped' all the wires in the harness and looked for damaged wires. I found some bundles of yellow wires soldered together which led to check what they all branched out to. I discovered that unplugging the enricher solved my problem. I checked continuity between the two terminals on the enricher plug and it was present, so it appears there's a short in my enriched wiring. I ordered a new enricher and regulator so I'll know for sure when they come in.
Quick question, this scooter has a center light in the front that uses a small bulb, similar to the license plate bulb. The bulb holder was rubber that hardened and broke so it no longer holds the bulb. I decided to just disconnect it. Do you think that alone will decrease the load enough to cause problems? I wouldn't think so, but if it does, perhaps adding one of these resistors would help. The scooter didn't come with one originally. Then again, it was bought second hand so I don't really know for sure.

The scooter is a 2005 Longbo LB150T-19 and it's using a 4 pin regulator. If possible, I would like to simply return it to a stable running condition without having to rewire it. Below are links to pictures of the original 6 pole stator, and the new 8 pole stator (that has no resistance at the coil), along with the regulator.
