150cc Jonway - keeps blowing fuses
 

Hey all,

Having a major issue with my scoot blowing fuses.

The battery fuse (10a) keeps blowing like a flash bulb or wanting to blow...

I have disconnected virtually everything - all front lights, all tail lights, starter, CDI, solenoid, voltage regulator...etc...

And the battery fuse wants to blow just by turning on the ignition..! The motor is not running at all...
I would put my hand on the fuse and when it stars to get warm, I switch it off.

The only thing I found that stopped the scoot from wanting to blow the fuse was when I disconnected the STATOR.

I started snipping wires (5 wire stator) and spliced them back until I found the culprit.

The wire that made the fuse want to blow was the yellow stator wire. With the other 4 wires still connected (white and green, and the other 2 separate wires) the fuse did not want to blow...

Is it possible I have a bad stator that is causing these issues??

I also noticed that a red wire that went into the ignition (4 wires from ignition - red, green, black, and black with white stripe) the red wire also got a bit warm with just the ignition on...

So is it possible that the ignition went bad??

...Or any thoughts would be much appreciated...

Thank you!!

man... what a total P.I.T.A. - found the culprit... !!

A yellow wire going to the stator - and a few other things - somehow shorted out and fused with what appears to be a black ground wire...

The trick I used was to turn on the ignition for maybe 5 seconds - which gave enough time for the wires to get warm before the fuse blew. I just felt around for those warm wires and followed them to where the short was...

I cut out the short and spliced the wires back together.

Starts up great and runs now!
