I had thought that the case as well, but when it didn't start I just put the old one back in and it turned over. I assumed the worst because I was on a time crunch.
The engine ran perfectly well when I had swapped in my old 6 pole stator last year. I had put maybe 1k miles on it since then.
I do have a test light, mulitmeter, soldering iron, wires, crimp, etc...
I am only using the 8 pole stator it came with and the 5 pin rectifier it came with because the old stator was tested bad and looked pretty rough ( almost 5k and nearly 6 years wear on it ).
The wiring from the stator will have to be rechecked to be sure( scooter broke down 10 miles from home). I do "believe" the wiring is as described - I know that when I put it back in I looked at the wiring and everything hooked up as it was in the old stator.
The old 4 pin was suspect because on putting in the new 8 pole stator all my headlights blew out and 50 volts was read as going to the lights at mid wot on stand.
I have not altered the harness. I have not made any electrical changes. I have not modded the scooter at all except to put a uni air filter and open exhaust on.

Things didnt go so well.
I followed your instructions and after installing the 5pin the scooter wouldnt start at all.
I needed to get it going for work, so i replugged in the bad 4pin and left the headlight harness off- just rode without headlights as the bike fired up again after putting it back in. (confused about this all together)
I made it 15 minutes down the rode and it cut out, but restarted.
2 minutes later it died again and wouldnt start at all- battery was dead and kickstart wouldnt do it either.
The battery was fully charged preride.
Im wondering if maybe this engine wasnt setup for dc already. The frame/electronics on the bike are definitely ac.
Not sure what to do at this point.

Thank you. Going out to get this started and crossing my fingers,

If I have to wait to order another stator of any kind, I've already lost this battle. The old 4 pin is toast at this point, since I forgot all about the regulator situation when I did the swap and ran it on the new 8 pole for a few minutes, frying it. I hope one of the guys with that experience drops by.

The scenario: I have a '96 150cc longbo scooter that the engine fails in and I have to buy a new engine off ebay. The engine arrives but with a 5 pin regulator and an 8 pole stator instead of the older stock 6 pole stator with 4 pin regulator. I play it safe and swap the old stator+regulator into the new engine and ride for a year. The old stator recently failed and due to several issues, not the least being the scooter is now my main ride, I have to put the 8 pole stator back in the engine and forgot about the regulator issue. My headlights all blow out immediately. I check the headlight's and find upwards of 50 volts coming across, and then remember about the 5 pin regulator situation. I need to get this scooter up and running post haste or risk losing my job, so this now becomes a critical situation or I would simply order a new 6 pole stator and another 4 pin regulator, but I'm back against a wall and I need to make this happen. The extra wire is a black lead I didnt have before. The 4 previous wires are green,red,yellow, white. Can anyone explain to me what I need to do to make this function? Is it as simple as running a black lead to the ignition switch and plugging the other wires directly in out of the harness? What other concerns do I need to worry about?
