If the stator was the problem why would it light up when the brake is applied that's the bit I can't work out.... My mates put a multimeter on it and it shows roughly 2 volts without brake applied then 12v with brake on he's leaning towards the control switch what do you think don't really want to order the parts till I'm sure what's causing it??

Hi guys I posted last week regarding power problem on a baotian 50cc scooter I thought I had found the problem with a split o ring in the inlet manifold but still only getting 8mph, so just bought the Haynes manual and discovered that the battery I replaced that was on the scoot ytx4l-bs (50cca/3ah) should be a ytx5l-bs (80cca/4ah) would this cause the power problem??

Think I've found the culprit in respect to the power a split I ring on the inlet manifold I think the lack of power is what's causing the lighting problem too as checked all the electrics and they seem fine apart from someone butchering them!! Little bit of work and she should be back on the road  cheers for the help lads!! |

It does seem as if it's a fueling problem that's why I asked if there is a vacuum pipe to the air box from the carb it's the same sort of bogging down when the pipe pops of a car or bigger bike, cheers will strip the carb off and check the inlet manifold hopefully it's something simple also I've noticed when the side lights are on front and back light up as they should but when dip beam is on the light is really dim but when you apply the brake the lights come on as they should I'm assuming its a bad earth?? Any suggestions??

thanks alleyoop will take pics and upload them, yes it is a 4 stroke 58 plate with 2800 miles guy i bought it from said he washed it and then it wouldnt start no spark im not sure if he was being honest or not as i would have assumed it would have run ok now the spark problem is sorted also not sure what hes messed around with as it was obvious he had tried to sort the problem himself judging by the loose bolts and missing airbox etc!!
