50cc Multi Issues

[ratmaz313]

 Hello I have a Jonway Sunny 50cc. And over the past few weeks I've had so issues that just keep getting worse. First my push button start stopped working, but I could kick start it just fine. Then my turn signals stopped working. Now my gas gauge shows only half a tank even when full and if I press the brakes down my gas gauge goes down also. This seems like a elect. issue but not sure if its just a fuse or even worse issue. 

 I have replaced the CDI and Coil with a after market ones but that was a few months back.

Sounds likea bad ground for most of your issues, the fuel gauge, well those are frequent problems with these scooters.

First thing to check is the charge on the battery
sounds like a zuma with a dead battery

If the battery is fully charged then it's time to trouble shoot the ele system

If it's weak charge then trouble shoot the ele system

 Thank You! Its my first scooter and still learning a lot about them. It was the battery, got it fully charged and now everything is back to normal. 

 On a side note...has anybody heard anything about the Rukus clones the Maddogs..was thinking about getting a 150cc one next year.

The clones are chinese made with a gy6 motor, the 150 would be the way to go but do not expect Honda quality, but then you won't be paying a Honda price either. If you can work on them it may be a good deal for you, if you can not, it could be trying.
