yea thats pretty cool Bashan, but very complicated for the use on a scooter and I'm sure it requires a lot more power to run that system than it does a belt drive set up, seems that would be a low rpm industrial type set up not anything that could be exposed to the eliments such as any dust and such. but neat all the same, cool find.

Based on what I have read here so far I would say that if you are correct and the head light does work strictly off the charging system (Stator) when engine is running and the other lights are tied into direct current from battery when the ignition switch is on and your charging system is as discribed in your first post "There seems to be a charging problem" it seems to me that you have just about solved your problem here, if headlight isnt working and stator isnt charging battery, you either have bad connection between stator and headlight and battery or stator is fried, I would check all connections as Dr. JR has already said and then if those are all good, I would find a source for a new stator and find out if you will need a special puller for the flywheel or not and then I would go about replacing the stator, check for fuse or any open wire between stator and headlight/battery, if all good I say replace stator, thats most likely your problem.

Good Luck....hope you get this resolved quickly and it's easy to fix.

heres a link to see how this scooter is set up, has some pretty cool features...

I would paint the chrome piece also and continue to use it.

Is it a pinging metal to metal sound or is it more of a low tone growling type knocking?

I ask because some of the knocking type sounds seem to be common on the 150cc GY6 engines mine makes what seems to be a knocking noise under hard acceleration but it is actually just a deep throaty almost knocking type sound that comes from the carb. and air cleaner when the engine is under a hard load at full throttle but as RPM's increase as well as speed the load is reduced on the engine and that sound starts to go away once a good speed is acheived, if the sound you are hearing gets louder and fatser as the engine revs then I would say you do have a mechanical problem or something is lose, but if the sound goes away when the engine levels out then I would not be worried about it because it is likely just the normal sound of the air being gulped into the carb while that little engine is under load.

Someone else may have another idea that I have missed here but you may not actually have an issue for worry unless it has never done it before and it just started the "Racket on a Hard Pull"

Is your scooter NEW or do you have some miles on it?
