1986 Spree (stock other than intake mod and larger main jet)
Ok, so I got a new piston, rings, cylinder, wrist pin, circlips, gaskets... got them all on and everything there is good...
Starts just fine and idles well... but for some strange reason, when I got it all back together, my headlight and instrument panel lights do not come on. Gas gauge, Tail light, horn, and turn signals work fine. Everything worked 2 weeks ago. Now, no headlight or dash lights.
The headlight is good... in fact, I rode it around the block and the lights started to flicker a bit but never came fully on.
Sounds like a wire is loose or a ground isn't connected, but I've checked them and they are all hooked up. Did I miss an elusive wire? My battery is freshly charged, fuse is fine, and I can start the scoot with a push of a button... but no lights.
Any insight? Guesses? Wild theories?

Keep chasing grounds. If it flickered something is askew. Tou just need to find it.

Re: A quandry about Spree Light
I agree with Marty. You have a connection issue, be it ground or a power wire. FYI the headlight and dash lights are run off AC from the stator and not the battery like the rest of the lights that are working.

Re: A quandry about Spree Light
is there a way to run the head lights off of the battery?
Re: A quandry about Spree Light
I got it... guess my stator went bad...there's one of the coil wires that is broken. Not sure how that happened, but it's definitely broken.
So, I'm looking for a stator... cheep
