Well, like many, I joined for some help.
I have a 2011 Dong Fang MP1, which is a Honda Ruckus Clone with a 150cc GY6. I upgraded the headlights and tail lights with LED units. And this has been fine for months. I recently installed an eleven pole stator and rectifier and my problems began.
My clone originally had a 8 pole stator with matching rectifier, the rectifier was a 5 pin unit. However, the eleven pole setup has a seven pin regulator.
I wired the three yellows from the stator to the three yellows on the rectifier. I put red to the battery + terminal. There was a red/white tracer in a bullet connector that I put to the autochoke. The only two wires left were a green and black. I tied the green and black together and put it to ground. I followed a diagram I found from BDX Buggies, but instead of having two greens, I had a green and black, but I just assumed that green and black were both ground.
Everything was fine, and it was charging 14 volts at the battery. Rode it for a few minutes and everything seemed fine. I parked it, and today I tried to ride it and it blew the 10 amp fuse. I put another fuse in and it was fine. I rode it down the street and it blew the fuse again. I was driving to an autoparts store to get more fuses, but I left it running when I was inside. I rode back to my place, and took it all apart.
The fuse melted on one side and blown. I replaced it and checked for power on both ends (which there is), electric start and horn still work, however; head lights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, hazards no longer work, gauges also no longer work either. I was only able to check so much without knowing where everything went. I don't know what's actually going on really.
When it's running I'm getting 16v (strangely it still runs). I believe this is overcharging, but the other day it was at 14v, however, I also checked in two different places. I checked at the starter solenoid when I first got it running, and today I checked at the wires going to the battery positive, and grounded at the chassis. I didn't check at the battery since I was frustrated. I checked for grounds, and they were all good and secured.
I've been going over the rectifier wiring, and it seems all right, when I remove the green wire, it stops charging, and when I reground it, it goes back to 16v. I've looked at a few other diagrams, and it SEEMS black actually goes to 12+ Ignition, not ground....it's so silly everything I've worked on prior to this black is ground, but I guess it's my own fault for assuming things.
However even if black is 12+ IGN, I could simulate it by attaching it to battery power after it runs, but that still doesn't solve the whole not having power anywhere else problem. Well I don't think anyway.
