fly wheel

There is no electrical reason why the amount of magnets will cause an installation not to work. If the diameter of the flywheel is correct and the gap between the ends of the stator poles and the inside of the flywheel is correct, then electrical current should be produced when the flywheel is spun by the engine.
An 11 magnet flywheel would produce more pulses of current for each revolution of the flywheel than would an 8 magnet flywheel. This could give a slightly greater power output. A major factor which could affect the output would be the strength of the magnets in the flywheel. Stronger magnets will give more power. Stronger magnets along with stators with more poles and more copper windings cost more and this is probably one reason why name brand (higher priced) scoots and motorcycles do not seem to have any problem with electrical capacity.

It sounds like a lean condition. Like John says, it could be a blocked pilot jet or even a vacuum leak like around the intake manifold.

It's located right above the muffler behind the plastic fender. Here's a picture:  |

JR certainly has some good ideas and a great understanding of this particular circuit. If the regulator rectifier is not working, then there will be no lights. The low DC reading on the yellow wire would make me think it's originating at the R/R and hopefully the problem is just in the connector at the output of the R/R or at the input from the stator. These connectors are prone to overheating which will mess up the charging circuit.

According to Bob the oil guy, use any name brand synthetic. No recommendation as far as using it during break in. 0W-30 would be about right for water cooled engines and 0W-40 would give a little bit better viscosity at the higher operating temperatures of air cooled engines.
If the engine does not use oil, you might want to try 0W-20 or 0W-30 which would result in better cooling and less internal friction because of higher oil flow.
I'm using 5W-40 Rotella T6 synthetic which is a good oil. I will be experimenting with the lower viscosity oil in the future.

The extra wire feeds the auto enricher or choke (liquid adding valve.)

A good diode will give the results you described. I would guess you had an open or high reading in both directions? If this is the case, your battery will not be getting charged. The normal path for the charging current is through the blocking diode when the engine is running. The modified wiring at the fuse box is the reason the lights come on with the key and it sounds like the lights are now not fused. If a short occurs in the light circuit, you will fry some wires unless the main fuse blows.

The mysterious side door to nowhere. Just remember that this bodywork is a clone of the Honda Reflex. The Honda Reflex had a horizontal engine like the Linhai except the plug is on the other side. So this panel worked for the original Honda Reflex only.

Hozer's scoot has the vertical engine. The spark plug is accessed through a removable panel in the bottom of the underseat storage area. The side panel is also on my scoot but there is nothing behind it that can be serviced.

The access panel is under the seat.

Do you have a headlight switch? If you do not have a headlight switch but the headlights come on with the key, then it sounds like you have a short in the wiring.

Have to agree with sprocket. You should never run the engine with the side stand down. If you have to run the engine for maintenance purposes, always do it while on the center stand. Neither of my scoots have a side stand switch, but I have trained myself to never run the engine with the side stand down.

Hi, cashflow. Here's a picture of the engine which shows the sparkplug in relation to all the other parts. You can reach it by removing the small plastic panel which is located in the center of the underseat storage area.  |
