Forza Just stopped
Please help
today I stopped off at a takeaway to get dinner after picking up my wife from work, up to now everything was fine. Got our dinner started scooter and drove away after about 100-150 yards the dashboard lights and fuel gauge all started to flash irrationally. I pulled over to stop scooter and see what was wrong but the scooter just cut off. I can't restart it at all the speedometer is stuck at 20mph.
Could this be battery related, fuse related or something else ??

Re: Forza Just stopped
Good one -- the kicker is the business about the speedo being stuck at 20mph. That sounds like a short to me, so I'd start with the fuses and then look at the battery.

Re: Forza Just stopped
It does sound like a power supply fault. Check the battery terminals are tight.

Re: Forza Just stopped
I removed the seat to work on putting a solar battery tender connector in to the battery. More room.

Re: Forza Just stopped
That's really interesting that the speedo stuck right where it was when the cable broke. I'd never thought about that before. I guess most batteries die when the scoot is sitting still, so the speedo wouldn't be affected. Ya learn something new every day.

Re: Forza Just stopped
The whole battery cover is easy to remove.
