Scooter 911 !!! Thank you for doing these videos .. I have learned so much about working on and maintaining my scoot!! The way you explain the technical issues so that even I can understand is great!!! Thank you !!!!
Dude. Thank you. I now know how to change a stator. I couldn't figure out my no start issue. Finally I checked the spark plug after replacing the plug, Coil, cdi, carburetor and voltage regulator. I came across this video and got a stator boom fired up and after a little bit of carb tuning it's running good. Thank you
I followed the steps and my scoot still did not start. I put my old CDI back on because the orange one ended up not working because it was AC. This was not giving me spark to my plug. Right as I tested the plug with the CDI that was DC “original cdi” not the aftermarket orange one. My scoot started up. It’s a 2010 Sunny and now it runs and starts very easy even without carb cleaner. To think if I hadn’t rescued the scoot it would have been junked. Keep the scoots alive!!! Thank you!!!!
LOL I am working on a 1981 Honda CM 200 Twinstar and this video helped me! I really appreciate the thorough explanation and tips and tricks, it applied to my project, strangely...Thank you!
Thank you for helping us out here in scooter land. There's so much motorcycle help but not near enough scooter videos that A. Speak good English that I can understand B. Not shaking the camera like a horror movie C. Enunciate and clearly explain the part names D. the diagrams are super helpful I have a little 150cc BMS scoot and it's been a champ thanks to your help. ❤
@@Scooter_911 lol You mean, "Another scooter". I currently have a Kymco people 250, and an Aprilia sportcity Cube 250, and recently acquired a Genuine Buddy 50 for only $1. It does need a deep carpet cleaning. Thus your videos have come in very handy. Having said that, I would still like a longer version of your theme song. Thank You, Alexandra
It's very well edited, thoroughly explained without overboard into detail, and you learn the whys of things and not just the hows. That's what excellent tutorial videos are made of.
Thank you, even though I didn't need to fix my stator, I watched this and became very informed as to how it works. The wiring diagram and explanation was fantastic.
Wow, I really love your videos! Just stumbled on to you after purchasing a 2007 Honda Ruckus at a steal. It's had charging issues since I got it a couple months ago and after replacing the battery without any change... I dove into a deep RUclips Rabbit hole. You not only helped me diagnose the stator issue (Just borrowed a multimeter yesterday and cracked her open today) but you are incredibly easy to listen to and straight to the point. I LOVE the diagrams and how clear your shots are on the parts - pointing out and enunciating each as you go along. I'm a super hands on learner and the service manual makes my head spin, but after watching these videos, everything makes sense. Thank you again for taking the time to share your knowledge. It is priceless for this middle-aged, mentor-less, mechanical wannabe! I'm looking forward to watching more!
Some people are born with mechanical talent above the average , it is a gift I am among them, and so are you. That's why I watch your videos. You understand the mechanical relations among the components of the device you are working on, and it shows. We are lucky, not everyone is. But that does not stop them from posting a tutorial video. 😒Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Garret, vis e vis the no spark issue that you addressed for me, double checked per your recommendations still had the same result so I built an external CDI start box as seen on Harvey Spooner youtube channel which then I had spark so I began by using old parts with the CDI box, not to belay this story I found the coil at fault despite the ohms reading on the coil Many thanks
are you referring to the pickup coil being at fault?because I found my pickup coil was a problem only the ohms was reading okay but did you also know that you have to check for voltage?when I checked for voltage I got nothing!!! and I checked with two different meters so yeah it was bad voltage no voltage reading oh sorry by the way this was on a 50cc GY6
@@Scooter_911 my scooter has a 12 pole stator and I need to replace the motor. Do I have to get another motor with a 12 pole (not easy to find) or can I get basically any gy6 motor as long as the stator is dc? It's on a 2017 Wolf ex150
Thank you so much for your how to repair Tao Tao scooter videos. I've had lots of trouble getting reliable service work at the dealership in Myrtle Beach! Hopefully thanks to you I'll be able to make most repairs myself.
Enjoyed both the Porno and Ragtime versions of the theme song in the background. But the OEM 8-Bit Atari version is the best. And you're right, the last unrecommended method is terrible. It's an expensive part to mangle if it turns out not to be the problem, and it can be difficult to know with absolute certainty that the stator is bad.
Adjustable spanner to hold fly wheel to remove nut makes working with only hand tools so much easier, but I normally screw the screws back into the hole and use a pry bar to prevent rotation
When I do not have a puller, I put upwards pressure on one side of the flywheel with one of my pry bars and hit the opposite side of the flywheel with a hammer, or putting the flywheel nut back on the crank a few turns and whack it. I have pullers now for all Stihl chainsaws and a 6y6 scooter, so I use them, instead, with my I,pact driver to remove flywheels. Pullers make things much easier.
Garrett for starters you're a natural teacher, your videos are the best FAQ type help that people need/want and I commend you for your brilliance! Lastly it's no secret that you are one handsome dude and you have that jeneseqwa that keeps attention😅 #peanutButterJeleous!
One thing an old chainsaw guy saw that you missed was checking and setting the air gap on the pulse coil. I usually use a business card but a .010 feeler gage works fine, too. I think the general spec is .010-.025. I set mine to .010 on all my saws with a business card and check them with my brass .010 feeler gage.
Some of the most informative videos great job. Interestingly enough I came across a peace sports 50 where my universal flywheel 24/27 mm did not fit this one's more like a 26. Have never seen this.I'm going to have to use a regular type bolt spanner puller
This may be the best motorcycle/scooter repair video I’ve seen yet. Great work. It’s appreciated getting the last resort removal tips at the end. Caveat emptor.
I learned a lot from your videos. I like the way you present explanations to the problems, diagrams and actual work. I like your sense of humor. I even like the stupid music and sounds. Great job man! I've watched hundreds of scooter videos and yours are the best. I wish you could do problem solving on Vespa LX50. Anyway, looking forward for new vids. Take care.
this is why I converted my Honda Cub Clone to DC-Operated CDI i got the entire kit: Full Wave 3 phase 11 pole Stator Full Wave Regulator Rectifier and a DC Operated CDI if any of the charging system component fails, the battery would still power the scooter (hopefully until I got home before the voltage drops too much)
It would have been nice if you would have added some tips about how to gap the pickup coil to the flywheel, that's all I needed to know, in this video it's the only thing you don't tell us!!! Thanks!!!
Garret, you do a great job of explaining what, how and why you are replacing a part. My only complaint is that you added the annoying drumbeat and music to the video.
Garret, What about the gap between the pick-up and the flywheel ? you didn't mention anything about it...what should it be, is it critical, how do you check ? Also the number of poles on a stator...6, 8, 11, etc. What is the difference, etc ? Great video...i ask these questions, not because i know the answer...actually because i suspect the stator is why my scooter won't start when hot...when i did some checks on it with my meter, they didn't match up with the results another video said i should have. anyway, preparing to swap out my stator and those are real questions that i don't know the answer to. Thanks ! I am a new subscriber ! love the content !
I have 2018 kymco agility 50, it won't start using handle bar start button but will start using leg starter. After, it run for couple of minutes, then the handlebar start button works if it's warm.
So, I have looked everywhere!!! I cannot find the Stator for my 2008 Benelli Andretti x50 scooter. I have looked all around the scooter for engine identification. I've found one thing, "ex-m2". To no avail. I know for sure it's a 40qmb but as to the few characters before it. How can I find the Stator to replace it. Please and thanks if you can. 👋
@@anonyplayer0n396 the stator for that scooter should be on the bike's right side. That is the right as you are sitting on it. Under the black plastic side cover of the engine (fan shroud) you'll find the same setup as this scooter. A fan, a flywheel with trigger and behind that a stator! Good luck!
Thank you for the video. I have a problem still. The brake lights were supposedly fixed by the mechanics. The bike worked for a little bit but while driving it stopped working and then started back up again. It worked again for a little while and then stopped. I charged the battery but still the bike was literally dead. A week or so later it turned on again but stopped again mid drive and wouldn't turn on at all. There are no break lights at all. Everything is dead on it, literally everything. I tried bypassing the stator relay but that didn't work. The battery is 100% fine. If you have any idea what could be wrong please let me know.
Bought 2- 2010 TaoTao 50. Very unstable driving, have second TaoTao very stable ride. Seems you can't get balanced goes one side to the other thinking my steering may be too tight can you help me
I have the same problem with mine sometimes twice a year I have to tighten it! it's usually only a half a turn maybe 3/4 of a turn but that's enough to fix the sloppy steering issue LOL and that feeling is a little scary isn't it?
hi Garrett a bit of your time please? I've got a no spark issue on my 50cc TaoTao GY6 I couldn't find my meters!!!!!so I ordered the cheaper and easier parts to replace first haha. the CDI the starter coil or ignition coil and new spark plug . while waiting for the weeks for the parts to arrive and then install them I watched tons of videos yours is awesome thank you by the way!!! and I also found my meters so I was able to test the stator. the voltage test on the pickup coil tested bad there was no reading at all but the ohms was good reading. and thank goodness the Exciter coil tested good also on both ohms and volts is it also referred to as a charge coil?. because I don't have a stator puller and I don't have an impact driver I was really happy I didnt have to replace that! but!!!...now I think I might have to! I installed the pickup coil hooked the wiring backup and went to start the bike and oh no!!! it cranked a few times and that was it!and now it does nothing! the flywheel refuses to budge! I can't turn it by hand and of course I tried to kick-start it and no can't do that either! I couldn't see where you were placing the wire casing on the pickup coil, but when I was installing mine I could not tighten it down without the Gap going way out of Gap!! I had the wire casing running between both the bolts at first so I moved it over to the left of the bolt and it tightened down just perfectly and it's within Gap but do you think that wire casing is strong enough to jam up the flywheel from turning from having moved the wire to where it's at now? I didn't think of that until I just now watched your video so no I haven't gone out and looked at my bike yet cuz it's dark and late of course lol or...and here's where this gets stupid! before I moved the wire over to the left of the Bold my friend suggested adding a nut to see if it would tighten down and stay in gap but he dropped the damn nut!!! it's i nowhere to be found anywhere! and I have a super bad feeling that nut went behind the flywheel and the the magnets are holding it in there and jamming that flywheel tight! what do you think?if it is the nut I'm going to end up having to get a flywheel puller anyways which I was avoiding like the plague and since I have 6500 miles on the scooter I might as well replace the stator while I'm in there! lol! but please Garrett let me know if it could be anything else but the two things I mentioned about jamming up that flywheel?I've done a lot of work on my bike all by myself getting this no spark issue resolved it never had a problem before this!except for a flat tire haha and that flywheel always spend freely up until the point that I installed that pick up coil I'm really looking forward to hearing back from you soon
PS Garrett I just now noticed that you aired this video on April 20th which was my dad's birthday and even though he has long passed I hope that this means a good turn of luck for me and my little best friend scoot scoot!!! lol
Can I switch a DC stator to an ac stator and not have problems? I bought a new engine from the scooter store and after installing it, I have no spark. So I went back to scooter store and told them and they came and looked and said I have ac wiring but a DC stator In the new engine.... They told me to hook up the wires differently, which I did, bit that still didn't work. I have my old engine that has the ac stator I need but am not sure if they are interchangeable like that? Please help. Thank you for the great video.
I like scooterworks.com for OEM genuine parts (sounds redundant haha). But you might try this diagnostic video out before you buy the part, just to make extra sure ruclips.net/video/XAqhEmx8dFM/видео.html
You're video has been very helpful in my current situation. I am currently working on taking the flywheel off but I don't have that special tool mentioned. Any ideas on how to remove it without that? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have a question, I know you have the right answer. My 50cc wolf scooter have a 4 wires 8 poles stator( white, yellow, with connector and 2 more wires for spark plug system) but the wire harness in scooter have same wires plus a green one at the connector so when I plugged them together the green wire of the harness don't connect with nothing . Since I bought the scooter charging system never been working. What you recommend me to do
Watched this video when it came out. Now today I have a 125 Buddy that isn't generating spark. Well maybe once every 100 tries since quitting and then it runs for two seconds and dies out again. I took out the stator and it was filthy and also rusty inside the flywheel. Cleaned it to no avail. I think it's pooched. So I'm broke. There's an abandoned scooter near me ( Amway not sure of the cc ) . Would it's stator work temporarily on mine until I can afford the $144+ for a replacement assembly? To be honest I'm going to try it anyway but I am at my wits end with this thing. I changed the left brake lever and piston vacuum in the carb while it had a bad rear tire. It started and ran in place but took 2 - 3 seconds to cut out from the kill switch even with removing the key! Then later in the week I changed the tire and it ran for about a block and now has no spark! So downbeat right now.
I cringed at that last unrecommended method because i did the same thing to a donor motor i had.....only i used the bolts to jam against the sides if the stator to hold the flywheel while i broke the nut loose with a ratchet and breaker bar. I love my impact now 😂 #ugaduggaforever
Have a 2013 kymco people 125 EFI hard to start went bike seats for about 3 hours ..once it start, easy start & run good?? Usually I end up flooding the bike to start, waiting 15 mins then it starts
Hi! I love this videos! I have a problem with my Baotian sport 2006. It charges fine. But when I put on low beam or high Ben voltage over the battery goes down to 9.8 volts!? What can be wrong?
Only scooters with an AC powered CDI spark from the magneto winding of the stator , Scooters using a DC powered CDI use the battery to supply power for the sparkplug, yes most 50cc scooters & go karts use AC CDI, many larger models 125cc and larger use 12vdc powered CDI, (yes some use AC CDI, ) DC CDI ignition has more reliable easier starting with less hard starting problems, If your headlight comes on when you turn the key to on , Before the engine is started , you have a DC CDI, if your headlight only comes on with the engine running, and goes out if the engine dies, you have AC CDI
Hey Garret, I have a problem with my headlights. I got No power going to it. My light Switch is working fine but still no power to my headlight. I have a running lights next to it and using power from it to have my head lights work. Where does the power come from for my head lights?
Doesn't the gap between the pickup and flywheel need to be measured? I know there isn't much room to adjust, but I do think there's a specific gap measurement.
The amount of room for adjustment should be irrelevant if you have a strong pickup coil. Sometimes if your pickup coil is getting week you can compensate by sliding it a little closer to the flywheel, but that is sort of an edge case.
thats an excellent idea! we really just have the valve adjustment video and all the videos of the regular service performed in the living with a tao tao series. But that sounds like a great idea! what kind of bike do you ride? Maybe we can tailor one to your needs!
I need help! My Gy6 Scooter (BMS Heritage 150) will only start if I bridge the two posts on the starter solenoid. Once started it runs perfectly. Electric start and kick start do not do a thing, wont even attempt to turn over. I replaced the started solenoid and no better.
Garret, could you please advise me what the AC volts reading coming directly from the stator should be on a 50cc scooter with a DC Cdi box when cranking? I have a no spark situation that is driving me mad. Thank you very much I really enjoy your videos...
I bought a stator that fits in my scooter, but just has a different plug connector. Do you think it would be ok if I disconnect the little pin wire connectors and put them in my old plug that fits? The stator I bought, states that it was made for my scooter

The bike worked for a little bit but while driving it stopped working and then started back up again. It worked again for a little while and then stopped. I charged the battery but still the bike was literally dead. A week or so later it turned on again but stopped again mid drive and wouldn't turn on at all. There are no break lights at all. Everything is dead on it, literally everything. I tried bypassing the stator relay but that didn't work. The battery is 100% fine. If you have any idea what could be wrong please let me know.
so many helpful videos. thank you
Thanks for watching!
Why didn't you say the gap its support to be
Hi, I have a 2018 genuine buddy 150cc scooter. Does my scooter have the 6 coils on the stator thanks
Your bike will have the same stator as in the video! Good luck!
I like this channel .from algeria .go ahead bro
Pro job, well explained sir.
Bought 2- 2010 TaoTao 50. Very unstable driving, have second TaoTao very stable ride. Seems you can't get balanced goes one side to the other thinking my steering may be too tight can you help me
I have the same problem with mine sometimes twice a year I have to tighten it! it's usually only a half a turn maybe 3/4 of a turn but that's enough to fix the sloppy steering issue LOL and that feeling is a little scary isn't it?
I just want to know what ratcheting wrench that is. So cool!
You're just like Tim the tool man Taylor I like it
Don't forget your BINFORD 6200 impact driver. Uh oh ohh ohh
Great video. Any ideas on upgrading a stator on a 2008 yammy zuma 50cc 2t? I need more wattage lol.
your awsome you covered all the bases.
It cost me more for next day delivery (£3.50) than it did for the flywheel puller (£2.95) I ordered.
Buy the part.
hi Garrett a bit of your time please? I've got a no spark issue on my 50cc TaoTao GY6 I couldn't find my meters!!!!!so I ordered the cheaper and easier parts to replace first haha. the CDI the starter coil or ignition coil and new spark plug . while waiting for the weeks for the parts to arrive and then install them I watched tons of videos yours is awesome thank you by the way!!! and I also found my meters so I was able to test the stator. the voltage test on the pickup coil tested bad there was no reading at all but the ohms was good reading. and thank goodness the Exciter coil tested good also on both ohms and volts is it also referred to as a charge coil?. because I don't have a stator puller and I don't have an impact driver I was really happy I didnt have to replace that! but!!!...now I think I might have to! I installed the pickup coil hooked the wiring backup and went to start the bike and oh no!!! it cranked a few times and that was it!and now it does nothing! the flywheel refuses to budge! I can't turn it by hand and of course I tried to kick-start it and no can't do that either! I couldn't see where you were placing the wire casing on the pickup coil, but when I was installing mine I could not tighten it down without the Gap going way out of Gap!! I had the wire casing running between both the bolts at first so I moved it over to the left of the bolt and it tightened down just perfectly and it's within Gap but do you think that wire casing is strong enough to jam up the flywheel from turning from having moved the wire to where it's at now? I didn't think of that until I just now watched your video so no I haven't gone out and looked at my bike yet cuz it's dark and late of course lol or...and here's where this gets stupid! before I moved the wire over to the left of the Bold my friend suggested adding a nut to see if it would tighten down and stay in gap but he dropped the damn nut!!! it's i nowhere to be found anywhere! and I have a super bad feeling that nut went behind the flywheel and the the magnets are holding it in there and jamming that flywheel tight! what do you think?if it is the nut I'm going to end up having to get a flywheel puller anyways which I was avoiding like the plague and since I have 6500 miles on the scooter I might as well replace the stator while I'm in there! lol! but please Garrett let me know if it could be anything else but the two things I mentioned about jamming up that flywheel?I've done a lot of work on my bike all by myself getting this no spark issue resolved it never had a problem before this!except for a flat tire haha and that flywheel always spend freely up until the point that I installed that pick up coil I'm really looking forward to hearing back from you soon
PS Garrett I just now noticed that you aired this video on April 20th which was my dad's birthday and even though he has long passed I hope that this means a good turn of luck for me and my little best friend scoot scoot!!! lol
Can I switch a DC stator to an ac stator and not have problems? I bought a new engine from the scooter store and after installing it, I have no spark. So I went back to scooter store and told them and they came and looked and said I have ac wiring but a DC stator In the new engine.... They told me to hook up the wires differently, which I did, bit that still didn't work. I have my old engine that has the ac stator I need but am not sure if they are interchangeable like that? Please help. Thank you for the great video.
Do u have a source for an 09 Genuine Buddy starter? Thanks again for super informative videos!!
I like scooterworks.com for OEM genuine parts (sounds redundant haha). But you might try this diagnostic video out before you buy the part, just to make extra sure ruclips.net/video/XAqhEmx8dFM/видео.html
Just a simple thx for sharing the knowledge!
You're video has been very helpful in my current situation. I am currently working on taking the flywheel off but I don't have that special tool mentioned. Any ideas on how to remove it without that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a problem with my vespa LX50. It will not start up i put new oil
and stuff. And on more thing where is the cdi. U beed help bad ty
This is a great video explanation. Ima watch this while I change my stator
Hi, I have a question, I know you have the right answer. My 50cc wolf scooter have a 4 wires 8 poles stator( white, yellow, with connector and 2 more wires for spark plug system) but the wire harness in scooter have same wires plus a green one at the connector so when I plugged them together the green wire of the harness don't connect with nothing . Since I bought the scooter charging system never been working.
What you recommend me to do
Best explanation ever thanks
Watched this video when it came out.
Now today I have a 125 Buddy that isn't generating spark.
Well maybe once every 100 tries since quitting and then it runs for two seconds and dies out again.
I took out the stator and it was filthy and also rusty inside the flywheel.
Cleaned it to no avail.
I think it's pooched.
So I'm broke. There's an abandoned scooter near me ( Amway not sure of the cc ) .
Would it's stator work temporarily on mine until I can afford the $144+ for a replacement assembly?
To be honest I'm going to try it anyway but I am at my wits end with this thing.
I changed the left brake lever and piston vacuum in the carb while it had a bad rear tire.
It started and ran in place but took 2 - 3 seconds to cut out from the kill switch even with removing the key!
Then later in the week I changed the tire and it ran for about a block and now has no spark!
So downbeat right now.
I cringed at that last unrecommended method because i did the same thing to a donor motor i had.....only i used the bolts to jam against the sides if the stator to hold the flywheel while i broke the nut loose with a ratchet and breaker bar. I love my impact now 😂 #ugaduggaforever
hahah yeah its definitely about 938472 times less pleasant than just using the correct tool for sure!
Should I have continuity between green and yellow from the back plug to plug at rectifier?
Have a 2013 kymco people 125 EFI hard to start went bike seats for about 3 hours ..once it start, easy start & run good?? Usually I end up flooding the bike to start, waiting 15 mins then it starts
...
Have you performed a valve adjustment recently?
Hi, thanks for the video. Will the flywheel puller you linked is compatible for a 2015 SYM Joymax 250i? Thanks
Hi! I love this videos! I have a problem with my Baotian sport 2006. It charges fine. But when I put on low beam or high Ben voltage over the battery goes down to 9.8 volts!? What can be wrong?
Only scooters with an AC powered CDI spark from the magneto winding of the stator ,
Scooters using a DC powered CDI use the battery to supply power for the sparkplug, yes most 50cc scooters & go karts use AC CDI, many larger models 125cc and larger use 12vdc powered CDI, (yes some use AC CDI, ) DC CDI ignition has more reliable easier starting with less hard starting problems,
If your headlight comes on when you turn the key to on , Before the engine is started , you have a DC CDI, if your headlight only comes on with the engine running, and goes out if the engine dies, you have AC CDI
Thanks for the video,
Great info ,keep up the great work everyone

I have my fan cover off and now Im glad I watched this
Hey Garret, I have a problem with my headlights. I got No power going to it. My light Switch is working fine but still no power to my headlight. I have a running lights next to it and using power from it to have my head lights work. Where does the power come from for my head lights?
It's so easy.....great video
Doesn't the gap between the pickup and flywheel need to be measured?
I know there isn't much room to adjust, but I do think there's a specific gap measurement.
The amount of room for adjustment should be irrelevant if you have a strong pickup coil. Sometimes if your pickup coil is getting week you can compensate by sliding it a little closer to the flywheel, but that is sort of an edge case.
Do you have a video about regular care for a scooter?
thats an excellent idea! we really just have the valve adjustment video and all the videos of the regular service performed in the living with a tao tao series. But that sounds like a great idea! what kind of bike do you ride? Maybe we can tailor one to your needs!
I need help! My Gy6 Scooter (BMS Heritage 150) will only start if I bridge the two posts on the starter solenoid. Once started it runs perfectly. Electric start and kick start do not do a thing, wont even attempt to turn over. I replaced the started solenoid and no better.
Garret, could you please advise me what the AC volts reading coming directly from the stator should be on a 50cc scooter with a DC Cdi box when cranking? I have a no spark situation that is driving me mad. Thank you very much I really enjoy your videos...
I bought a stator that fits in my scooter, but just has a different plug connector. Do you think it would be ok if I disconnect the little pin wire connectors and put them in my old plug that fits? The stator I bought, states that it was made for my scooter
Yes it should be ok just make sure all the wires match the correct locations!
