OK. I went to a Roketa dealer here in my little Town and inquired about the voltage regulators he has in stock. He just happened to have a regulator for a GY6 150 that got stripped off of a used bike. He was sure that it was working. He told to me take and try it and I could have it if it worked. He also had a couple of new ones. I tried it and it worked. Kind of. I have 4.5 volts at idle at the yellow wire but at cruse speeds I have around 11v. Lights are good and bright and I can drive at night. But, my charging volts are 16v as soon as the rpms come up and stay steady at that until I let up off the throttle and ad a load like brake lights. Then, the charging v are closer to 13v. 16v seems a little high. I ordered your regulator and it acts exactly the same way. So, I am assuming I should use the resistor you sent with it but I am not sure where to install it. Thanks for the quick delivery.

Let me ask you this. If the voltage regulators I bought only let out 4.5 acv at idle on my 150cc gy6, what do think these regulators are actually for? Are the meant for a bigger engine where the stator can produce more ac voltage than the 150 or is it for some other type of electrical system all together?

No worries. Sorry if anyone thought I wasn't playing nice. I am just trying to get to bottom of my little problem. It seems that when you go to try and buy a part for these scooters, it is a guessing game in what you will actually get. All regulators must not be equal even though it looks like the part that came off, the store says it is for your scooter, but in reality, it doesn't work. I just want the correct part so I can ride my little scooter. If anyone can tell me what rectifier/voltage regulator will actually work for my scoot, please chime in. I would hate to spend 30+ dollars for a part that won't work or even worse, find out a 15 dollar part would had work just as well. Thanks for any real help.

John,
I looked at the link and it looks exactly like the one I took off but it says it is for a 50cc gy6. If it was not recommended by an expert, I would have never tried that one. So, are you confident it will work on 150cc gy6? Just double checking. Thanks.

dw,
That is the problem. My lights are dim and only have a little over 4v at the lights and auto richer. With everything hooked up I have a little over 4v at the white and yellow wire and over 14v to batt. When I disconnect the stator to check idle voltage and reved at the white and yellow wires voltage it is acting as it should, 11-20acv depending on rpms with more at the yellow. I'm not interested in destroying anything else on this scooter so I don't run it with anything disconnected. I know better, but thanks for the heads up anyway.

I,ve never been to Tested Scooter parts before. I just checked it out and went to my specific scooter for parts and looked at the regulator. It looks like what I took off. Think I would be safe trying that one or might I have some other problem?

I have an 08 Roketa bali MC 13 150. I recently replaced the stator and voltage regulator. It seems that the voltage regulator may not be the same as the old or not the correct one. Is there a difference? I am only getting a little over 4 acv on my white and yellow wires. I am getting 11 to 20+ acv at my stator when I disconnect my stator to check voltage. If I go to the Roketa site to check for parts they want over 30.00 for the regulator. I paid under 5.00 for the one I ordered, bought 2, and it looks like what I took off. Both  regulators give me the same results. Can someone help me out? |
