Ok it appears the original fuse should have been 10amps not 1 amp. No problem with a 10 amp, works fine.

Ok I'm an idiot tried something I saw on Youtube and now I'm screwed! I have a GY6 150cc chinese piece of crap that was running fine until I decided to add a panel with voltmeter, 2 usb ports, a cigarette lighter socket and an off/on switch. I followed instructions on Youtube and piggybacked the power wire on the black wire coming from the ignition then wired the four components as per the wiring diagram. Everything seemed to work OK except it appeared the off/on switch was operating the wrong way and so I switched the ground and power wire that went to first component around. Then it stopped working but worse when I tried to start the bike it would start and then the 1 amp fuse from the battery blew but the bike kept running. So I replaced it and it blew again and again and again. Tried a 2 amp same thing and I went through a dozen fuses. I removed all of my new wiring so the bike was back to the way it was but the fuse keeps blowing. I have checked the wiring no signs of a short or melted wires so now I believe it could be one of two things the regulator/rectifier or the stator. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Can I test the regulator/rectifier to see if it is fried? I'm at a loss and so is my retired electrician friend. I have learned one lesson... don't watch youtube videos. Please help.

I'm new to trying to fix my scooter but I am learning rapidly. It's a 150cc chinese SAGA (Jonway is US equivalent) and it isn't idling too well. It was suggested that I upgrade/replace my CDI; however, I am now confused as to whether it is a 6 or 5 pin CDI I need. While there are 6 wires on mine there are only 5 connections. I only have 1 ground.
Do I order a 6 pin or a 5 pin CDI?

I have a 2011 150 cc Saga that has stopped working. Not used for 18 mos, tried to start 2 months ago, turned over but wouldn't start. Drained gas last week and put in new gas, went to start and nothing, no power, no lights, horn, dials. Battery is good, tested 12.8 volts. After some research tried bypassing starter relay with screwdriver and it turns over and starts until i remove screwdriver. Also near the battery I found two wires which look like they are disconected from each other but one is green with male baynet end and the other is grey and white with female connector. Traced green wire back to ignition and tested continuity and good. No idea where other wire goes but when I bypass starter relay it only starts when these wires are not connected. When connected turns over but doesnt start. Fuse by battery is good but cant find any other fuses. I'm not that mechanically inclined but im willing to try and figure out what problem is. Does anyone have any idea what could be problem and fix. Thanks
