Thanks, guys. Alley I did ask the DMV when I registered the 250, and without an MCO, they won't do anything.
Cruiser, that's a good idea. I was also thinking of selling it for what it is, then using that money to cover the LED/HID upgrade on the 250.
JR, you brought up a good point about the 20A feeding the remote. With the key switch on, and the kill switch energized, perhaps that provided the path that backfed the 15A fuse with 20A of current.

Hello, everyone. Jason from Davenport, FL checking in after lurking for a bit. Davenport is just south of Disneyworld. I've got a Wahoo 50cc GY6(I think it's a GY6, never had to work on it), and a JCL 250a Linhai. The 50 I bought from Craigslist back in GA, and never got any paperwork with it, as GA doesn't have to register or insure a 50 or smaller. Florida does require it, and since I have no Certificate of Origin, I can't register it, so it sits in the garage. The 250a though, is a different story. It's a 2007, originally purchased by a fellow nearby who did the PDI, changed all the fluids, then developed cancer and passed away. His parents sold it to me, and it's run great since. It's over 500 miles now, time for another oil change. I did have one other issue with the 250a. Once I realized what that little lightning bolt was on the remote, I was amazed that something this inexpensive had a remote start. The bike started just fine, but would only start with the remote start, and would no longer work with the key/starter button. I tested and found the 15 amp fuse had blown. Somehow the remote start back fed current through the fuse and blew it. Changed the fuse and disconnected the alarm box, and everything works great. I'll get some pics for the site up later, as soon as my camera battery charges. I'll be converting the lamps over to LED's in the future. Then, we'll see where it takes me. I've worked on cars for years, and find the scoot a little easier to work with. I'll have to get used to carbs again, unless I convert to FI. Hopefully, I can help out now and then.
