I had a pretty good shake on my front wheel. I took off the weights and put balancing beads in them. It rode smooth as silk. This was common procedure in the early days of the lesser expensive scoots. How much dynabeads do you put in per size tire? Chris |

Chriss , I will be around in the morning , let me know if you want to come . John Continuing with the story, Long story short it's running and stronger than it's previous situation. The problem lay within the wiring; with a melted ground, bad stator pickup, ground pole on the stator winding, and insufficient gauge positive side wiring to plugs. All this from just a bad stator meltdown. So what I did was, A lot of pinout testing and I installed a good sourced 8 pole stator, a DC ignition/AC charging performance CDI.. (Yes there are dual phase scooters out there). and a new high brow Gel battery and the scooter fired up and idled stable throughout the 10 min warm up. Gauge is a bit off as is states charging at 13.6 but on an actual meter reads 14.4V. Not a big concern of mine now. With everything I replaced parts wise... This thing is pretty much new sans the body!!! LOL Thanks, Chris M. Black Art Bikes |

Get your meter and start looking for a short to ground. Also, do you have a starter relay? No starter relay just a solenoid in the circuit. I removed the kill switch on the side stand and rewired a few things. I made new grounds and cleaned up the existing contacts for the old ones. I will try to start it tomorrow.. |
