Pop a multimeter across your battery to check if you`ve still got voltage in there. I put the wires on the wrong way once and it popped a cell in the battery leaving it dead as a dodo. If you`ve got voltage in the battery, check if you`ve got voltage to the red wire at the key switch. If you have, then check voltage at the black wire on the key switch with the switch on. The feed (red) wire is normally straight from the battery to the key switch with a fuse inline, CDI has nothing to do with it.

I`m not totally certain on this but I think the B engine is for 16 inch wheels. There are more informed members of the forum who hopefully will be along to answer your question.

So you`ve got six wires coming from the ignition switch ? How many from the loom and what colours are they ? Also is this the original ignition switch ?

The black wire is the accessory wire, it feeds things like your horn, gauges etc. On the diagram the wires coming from the ignition seem to be the same colour going into the loom. If charging is your problem then have a look at the battery, on the positive post there will be a thick red and thin red wire. The thick wire goes to the starter solenoid, the thin wire goes through a fuse to the regulator/rectifier (called a manostat in the diagram). This thin wire is what charges the battery, check the fuse in this wire, check that you have continuity in the wire from the reg/rect end to the battery.

Honest answer would be 'not sure buddy', but they certainly look the same from the pics. Given that a lot of Chinese scoots share the same parts there`s a good chance that these will match. On the Rocketa site they give measurements for their forks at 30mm diameter, which will be the diameter of the chrome sliders, and 470mm length. It might be worth shooting a question off to the chap on ebay to see if he can measure the forks he has to see if they`re the same measurements.

The wire with the fuse is black. Not sure on the antitheft device. What colours do you have on the ignition switch, and what colours do you have on loom end ?

Looks like my old garage in the 1990s. A bloke in Somerset gave me about 4 scoots and tons of spares after I restored his Lambretta. Had to hire a van to get the stuff back home.

Sounds like a poor connection issue, is there a multiplug on the back of the dash, if so try removing it and squirting with light oil then replacing ? Could really do with someone chipping in who is familiar with your model.

Cheers buddy. It`s a bit cramped in under the seat so probably wouldn`t be able to get a decent pic. The engine mount is just a normal 125 gy6 type very similar to this....

We get a lot of this on the scoots at work. Normally just drill a small hole in each panel and connect them with a suitably coloured cable tie.

I ended up just purchasing a whole new ignition cylinder with all the other locks and new keys. along with a cheap vibration alarm and a rotor wheel lock. Hopefully it won't get stolen again... Thats the sensible option buddy

Nope, the system will already have a ground on the frame and the engine, all it does in the ignition switch is ground out the kill wire to stop the engine when the ignition switch is turned off.

It`s a case of checking each one manually, or if you`ve got a multimeter check between the ends of each fuse for continuity. Last ditch method is to get a piece of silver baking foil and twist it into a thin stick, turn on ignition, then touch each end of the foil to the ends of the fuse, effectively bridging it. If suddenly your gauges start working then you`ve found the blown fuse. If you do find a blown one, don`t hold the foil on for more than a couple of seconds though in case you have a shorted wire somewhere. Just replace that fuse and see if it blows again.

Ah well if you`ve got a separate kill switch, and as long as you can identify which of the black wires is the kill wire, then simply tape off the end of the green wire and the kill wire separately so they are not connected to your ignition toggle (effectively rendering them redundant until you get a new ignition switch). Then just connect the red to the feed on the toggle and black accessory to another terminal on the toggle and see if the system works.
