Technical | How To / Engine Swap questions... 150cc stator (AC or DC?) and Stator replacement

« on: April 12, 2021, 01:01:42 AM »

I will try to make this as clear as I can...

I have a Kymco 150cc extended case motor that I purchased for a project, I have no wiring harness, sadly. I have a chinese gy6 150cc scooter that has a dead engine, crank seized.

The Kymco engine has 3 wires from the stator, Yellow and White, the pulser is Blue.

The busted engine has 5 wires, Yellow, White, Green, Red/black, and Yellow/blue.

I am guessing the Kymco is a DC stator, probably 8 poles.

Question is: Can I replace the Kymco DC stator with an AC stator? If so, do I have to replace it with the same number of poles? Or, can I 'upgrade' to 11? Does this also mean a flywheel change?

I don't want to have to redo all the wiring, regulater/rectifier, CDI to make a DC stator work in this now frankensteined scooter. Hoping the AC stator replacement will be the easy way to make this work.

Thank you for any insights!!

Yep, Herbiedriver is due to my fondness for VW's...

I currently have three in the stable, a '64, '68 and a '73 convertible...

I fixed the revving while brake is pulled, seems the wiring needed to be sorted out, cleaned and reattached grounds and added a ground strap to the engine from the frame, once that was done the bike will rev like normal. Now I need to drain the old oil, I think the PO put some synthetic outboard motor crap in there, it smokes like a mosquito fogger and has that smell... but it runs!

Just wanted to jump in and say hello...

Picked up a 2001 People 50 2t over the weekend for $50. Didn't run, needs work but not too bad. Got it running after cleaning the carb and fixing the kick starter (the C clip popped out and allowed the entire mechanism to slide in).

Runs pretty good, need to clean the carb again and trace some electrical gremlins, one of which I am guessing might be a ground issue. Bike won't rev on the stand unless I hit the brake lever, then it will rev and drop off.

Not too new to scoots, I have 3 Honda Sprees that I have rebuilt from the ground up and several Chinese GY6 50cc that are general beaters.
