No headlight, tail light, or left blinker

Since I have gotten my Roketa I have learned one hard line fact. It shoddy work, cheap parts and even cheaper labor build these scooters.

I have found wires pinched, screws driven through wire and even a (+) wire for the headlights left hanging inches from the switch. It was never connected.

You are most likely looking for a wire that been cut or not even connected at all.

Thanks. Everything has worked. I know about the shoddy stuff on some of these. I have replaced brake switches, master cylinder, carb enricher, and I can't think of what else. Owned it since 2007 when I bought it new to haul on back of our GMC coach. But, this has been toughest diagnosis for me. Installed the new headlight today. Now I am at least able to put plastic back on before I forget how it goes. Down to waiting on the flywheel puller. Even have the nut removed. Have to pull it to count the number of coils. There is nothing anywhere that tells me which stator to buy without looking at it. So, I am down to at least another week before I can get the stator. If that does not fix this light issue then these lights are going to be re wired to dc and I will go on. Should have done that in the beginning but did not realize what a snake pit I was in. I now think about the stinking headlight on this thing when I am trying to go to sleep sometimes, ha.
I will close this thread out next week or so hoping that I have helped someone on down the road.
Dan,
Took me two days to figure out the old forum was closed and had been moved

Got the 15 dollar wheel puller today. Used it for 20 seconds and snatched the flywheel. 6 coils, 3 wires, in a 4 wire plug, and two female single wires. Ordered. So, hoping later next week I get the 24 dollar stator and it fits and works. No other parts can be replaced. All connections were good. Promised my 4 year old grandson that we will be back on the road by next weekend. Will report back for the last report next weekend.

The six coil stator arrived yesterday. We are away in the motorhome. Hope to be home this weekend to install it and get the scooter back on the roads with lights.

Well, think it is time to start a new thread on this. I have lights when I am cranking but the engine will not start with new stator. So, now what? Will check all connections again tomorrow. Started and ran good on old stator, just no lights. I guess I might put old one back on to see if it will start. If it does, they sent me a bad part. Dog gone this has been a headache. At least I know the old stator was the problem with no lights.
I did get one back fire while cranking.

Got it going. Had the two wires crossed going from pick up to cdi.
Hope this thread helps someone down the road. It helped me just thinking things through. I think I spent about 70 bux for all of the new parts. If I had started with stator instead of ending there it would have only cost 24.00 plus five for new headlight and five for the flasher which was bad. Oh, still would have had to bought the wheel puller for 15.00. So, 49.00 was good money spent. Wasted was headlight switch, cdi, and voltage regulator, totaling 21.00. Still a lot less than taking it to a shop and I have some spare parts and a wheel puller for next time. I think the stator has always been weak. It never showed over half charge on the meter, now it reads almost full charge. Was hard to start, fires right up now, very little cranking. Would not start from elec starter after warmed up, just turned over. I had to kick it to start when it was hot. Now it fires right up just like when it's cold. So, this seems to have solved several issues.
