I'm new to scooting and my neighbor gave me and old one with some parts missing that I've been rebuilding. i have the majority of the wiring system under wraps but i still cant figure out what the circled part in the attached picture is. one wire that leads to it is green and black that leads to a connector with nothing attached to it. the other lead coming off of it does go anywhere just kind of free hanging on the front. please help!!

it is a ballast resistor . I bet it is a 2007 or older scooter ? I would think it goes to the headlight power wire to help hold the acv feeding the headlight from getting too high .

Here is a wiring diagram of an older model Roketa 50cc scoot.

You can see the resistor on the left side just above the headlight.

thank you guys so much! it ran for the first time today!!! but when i give it steady gas it starts to die unless i pump the throttle? it also dies if i let it drop to an idle. its a new carb i dont know if that will help with the troubleshooting

and yes i think its an 06

You need to adjust the air/fuel mix ratio screw you will find it under a cap looking thing on the left side of the carb. What I did on mine was turn it in all the way then I backed it out 1(1/4) turns then went from there. I'm no expert but that might fix the problem
