ellpee I think I done that test before... but my test was like the following I unplugged and ground the wire and it peg the Temp. gauge ( the connection was two wire connected to a metal piece that plugs onto the thermostat temp. sensor) so did I test that wire right? ![]()  that pic shows what I am talking about that wire connection. Thanks

Another point I forgot to point out maybe that would help... When I crank the scooter and take it for a test when I give it gas my gas gauge drop low when I break is raises up.... Is that because of acceleration and sudden stops? .... It wasn't doing that before all of the above problems....

JR How should I step up my multi meter so I can do that reading ? Do you think installing a new temperature gauge would be a better choice then trying to trace all those crazy wire... That wire harness is a miss and it's driving me crazy... ellpee, when you mentioned cylinder temperature sensor... I got confused... Is there a way you could explain by picture? i only know two temperature on by the radiator and the other by the thermostat.... I am sorry guys I am new to scooters in general ... And sometimes I just get stranded... i am starting to put the body cover back on... I thinking about riding it like that without temp. Gauge "can I do that" JR ellpeethanks DP |

okay I worked for 12 hrs today on my scooter trying to find out why the scooter is acting up like that so JR ....on the bike frame I found three connection the screw on: two are black lines the third one was green, but the green was cut off and not connected at all... when I connected it: I could start my scooter by the start button... and that lead to a discovered that my Rely (solenoid start) is working fine... ( I thought it was not working) also that green wire was the cuz of the fan not picking up to work during standby mode..... so now everything is working fine... but for some reason the temp gauge still not working... but there is something wired I discovered... the tempo gauge has three wires as JR mentioned... when I ground the dark green wire the gauge boost up and then drop back to low... when I crank the scooter is does the same thing... but there is a weird thing I discovered.. when I turn the scooter off and leaving it on standby mode (right before pushing the start button to crank it ) and ground that dark green wire ( one of the three wires that connects to the temp gauge ) the gauge boost up but all of the sudden it reads the temp. of the engine but when I crank the scooter it drop off... this just driving me crazy... now i am very closeeeee...... so I think everything is working fine on my scooter...... except that temp gauge reading.... so to recap everything : 1. radiator fan is working fine... ( after ground a green wire to the scooter frame) 2. radiator temp. sensor is working fine ( fan turns on when the radiator temp. sensor reaches the required temp) 3. engine thermostat is working ( because the radiator both pipes (top pipe which connects to engine & bottom pipe connects to water pump ) they get soft and hot... 4. engine thermostat is working fine ( I think because of #3 ) 5. rely working fine..
so why my temp gauge is acting up like that....
danielphil10,JR,ellpee  picture of the temp gauge connection.. as Jr mentioned... Please review and advice... we are very close |

Okay, here are some updates.... The temp gauge is working fine when I ground it... Some how the cooling fan is working now too... So that means my radiator temp sensor is good... I check the wire that connects from the engine thermostat sensor to the temp gauge and it working fine... So now my only hope is the engine thermostat... I am very close to fix this scooter... Please advice me... Thanks

  I post this two pics to see if I am talking about the right thing or not First pic is the radiator sensor and that was taking out and done a test to it... second pic is the thermostat... and that will be my last step to check... |

Ellpee, I check the radiator temp, by unscrewing it out, heat it, and did a meter test to when it was hot, it read from 600 oms going down to zero.. SO I think the radiator temp sensor is working fine.. I need to check if the temp gage is woking fine or not before I check the thermostat on the engine.... I just don't know how can I check the temp gage with the meter test.... danielphil10, JR, ellpee |

Hello guys,
I know that most of you are expert on Chinese scooter..
So here is my story ( I never had a Scooter or a bike before I do not know a lot about scooter or any mechanical background)...I just bought a used 2011 250cc (244c) Jonway and it has 800 miles on it, which is no a lot at all ( I bought for a fun cruise during weekend with my wife).. I bought it and drove it for couple of days.. After that one day for some reason the temp gage starts to rise up to the red line (Overheating), also I notice the cooling fan is not working anymore so I would stop every now and then to cool it off... at night the scooter runs on 3/4 temp gage reading... but if the scooter is on and not running, it get overheated quickly... long story short... one day I decide to start the scooter for a quick ride, scooter wouldn't start.... I thought the relay was bad and wouldn't kick start the scooter, so I decide to take the relay out and paypass it by sparking the positive of my battery to the red line that connect to the engine starting.. and it sparked engine and it starts running AGAIN !!!!!.. I start to ride it for a quick coupe of mins I notice the Temp Gage is not working anymore and I guess it got hot and the coolant expansion tank suddenly started to burst coolant out!!! turned the scooter off and left it for day... then the next day I decide to start the scooter to see if still running and it works fine so i left the scooter alone... so I did some search and I start taking the scooter covers off so I could reach in and see where that coolant came from... so I stripped the entire scooter!!!!... now I am able to see the entire scooter from the inside and it still runs (somehow haha)... so I did more search to see why my temp gage is not working how did my coolant burst out... here are some tests I been doing.. I check the radiator thermostat by a meter reader and its working fine.. I flushed out the entire cooling system and put a new coolant liquid (50/50) and I air bleed it
very good to make sure no air trap..... I tested the radiator fan and it works fine too... I checked the water pump and its clean..... I don't know why my Scooter is acting like that... I need some help on how can I fix my Temp gage and get it back to work so I can ride it? please advise, also a pics will help a lot me to understand since I am new to this.. working on that scooter taught me a lot and I enjoyed.. I just need a guide.. Thanks
