Are brake lights and taillights the same bulb? By lennie11b (Read 2,103 times)

Give us a picture of the engine right and left side and we'll know if it's a 150 or been swapped lennie.

Ok i checked the blocking diode plugged in heres what we have with the engine off i read battery voltage on both wires also the same with engine on. I also read 26acv on the red with engine off and on so whats up with that WELL maybe if i unhook what me and JR talked about before and see what happens since im reading battery voltage from this thing any idea's

As setup to run on a 250cc scoot, what you described would result in a headlights on all the time condition - even with the key off. In your case, it could be reversed wires or even a shorted diode. No AC should be present with the engine off. You have to be careful about grounding the negative meter lead when making voltage measurements, unless it's phase to phase measurements for AC.

Like JR said, we need some pictures under the hood or at least each side of the engine.

OK lennie for sure you have a odd animal here, I still believe the scooter has been modified but that doesn't matter.

Let's try to make this simplier. Let's try to just get the charging system going right first. We'll worry about the lights and such later. Here is the diagram for the 250 linhai and this is how we are going to wire this scooter;

Now pay attention to the R/R and the wires from the stator, (3 yellows) and how it is wired. Then look at how this system is wired up through the blocking diode to the battery. Take note of the black wire from the R/R and wire it the same along with the green ground wire.

Don't worry about the lights or anything else. trace these wires out and make sure they are wired exactly like this diagram. Also here's a simple way to test the blocking diode to be very sure it is good.

Unplug it and hook the red wire to the positive terminal of the battery and put your volt meter on DC and one lead of your meter on the black wire or the diode. Put your other lead of the volt meter to the negative battery terminal. You should read 12Vdc or whatever your battery is.

Then reverse it put the black lead on the battery positive terminal and the volt meter lead on the red wire of the diode and you should get 0 volts.

After you wire this scooter exactly like in this diagram start it and you should read 13Vdc plus on the battery with it idling and it should go higher when you rev it up if all is good.

So i looked at the diagram and this is what i came up with the r/r green to the negitive side of battery and red r/r to red diode and red diode to positve side of battery. what about black that one is confusing me a little

[lennie11b]

i know it should be tied in to the cdi but which one red/white , black/yellow, black/red, black/white, green?

lennie sent you a pm, proboards is having trouble and the forum is on and off, I'll be home.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED we have a charging battery i run red r/r to the fuse on batt and black from the R/R to black key switch black and green r/r to negitive side of battery and also i wired my lights off the batt through a toggle switch and they work awesome thank everyone who helped i learned alot and will be hanging around to tell you guys of my ride's and troubles OH yeah i tossed the blocking diode did'nt need it ;D

[JR]

Awesome job leannie! Sorry I missed you on the phone today got your message. Was gone until noon with grandson's football camp and then got home and had to re-work the netting on my green beans. A storm cme through with 50 MPH+ winds and knocked them down!

Was glad to meet you on the phone the day before and I just knew the blocking diode wasn't necessary.

We're so we could help you get it going and don't be a stranger.
