I confess -- I'd forgotten about this forum. And, when my google search brought me here I found I've been a member. I posted the following to another forum (2+ years since I had to use the forum) and little help with this issue. Bashan's post has already given me some ideas I am going to try once I send this.
Soooo -- I am seeking some help with a 50cc TaoTao ATM wiring issue.
Customer says the seller will not help. He brings the scooter in stating it will not start. It has 750 km on it, ran fine the first 500 then he could only kick start it. We find the fuse wire melted at the battery and all the wires just below the ignition connection melted and fuse blown. So - we electrical taped the wires and they still heat up (key on 20 seconds). We've tried a new ignition with same results. Battery is 12.5volts.
The mechanic's thought is he needs a new wiring harness. But - I am wondering if it's some component. If so, I see us just melting the new harness.
Please tell me what you would try.
