This regulator part ive orderd still hasnt arrived from the kymco dealership and with this royal wedding (i live in england) that no one is arsed about its gonna take even longer to turn up, so ive decided to put it back together for the time being.

So I was just wondering if I can run my scooter with no Regulator in it? Im sure the Alternator is wired into the regulator and wont charge the battery if it is in place, so would it be okay to run my scooter with this part missing? I know it runs fine without it but would it cause any damage?

Cheers

Done all the wiring and taped up bad bits of other wires, fired up the engine and it ran fine, all electrics apart from the headlights (that wernt connected) worked :)

Just need to put the rectifier in and put all the panels back on :) Thanks for your help :D

Thank you helps a lot, does this mean the engine will run without the regulator? Im guessing it wont be safe as it may over charge the battery.

Just a few questions :)

Is the rectifier the unit in the front of the bike with a sort of heat sink on the top and a black connector?
If it is its the cause of my bike nearly catching fire, theres lots of black/brown gooey stuff leaking from it and the red wire going into it has melted (thanks to me) if i replaced this and the wire is there anychance of it blowning my fuses again?

Thanks :D

Super 8 / Bike Caught Fire!

Brilliant this isnt it, the other day i was on my bike when my dash and all electrics died, luckily with my handy tool kit you get with this bike i noticed it was a fuse, but the case holding the fuse had a hole burnt through it and i noticed that the (red) wire fuse was dangerously close to the negative terminal, which i can only imagine its arked and burnt a hole through the casing, so I changed the fuse and its been fine for 2 -3 days.

Got it out before ready to go out and all my dash was dead again (fuse) and there was no more fuses in my battery compartment, so like a dickhead i just put the two metal wires together and NEARLY set off to get a 10A fuse. Looked up and there was smoke pouring out the front of my ped, so i turned the engine off and it carried on, took off the battery casing and there was the red wire melting in front of me, after taking off the terminals from the battery id realised now (because me scooters in pieces) that the red wire has melted all through the wiring loom.

Turns out (I recon) we traced the fuse to a 'regulator rectifier'? which had black gung pouring out of it, so ive orderd a new one of them, hopefully doing this and replacing the wire will get it running again!

Turns out it was the tappets, one was holding a valve open all the time! Got it back today, has had a new plug put in aswell, runs soo much smoother but can hear the tappets quite loudly now :/ I was told that the Kymcos use a special version of the GY6 Chinese sh**e 4 stroke engine and they need the tappets re doing every 1000 miles, and this has gone 5000, so was to be expected really!

I always use my electric starter when its cold, but then my kick start when its warm.... dont no why I just do :)

A Friend of mine has a Peugeot Speedfight MK1 Which the electric start works, but when its warm it still turns the engine but the coil wont generate a spark, so he has to used to kick start :)
