[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 170046, member: 8785"] I don't have any experience with Piranha, Lifan or any of the aftermarket engines, but I'll try to help. I've looked at some some of the wiring diagrams at Tbolt and I'm not quite sure what you have. So with that, I've got a few basic questions. How many wires do you have coming out of the Stator? I would assume a wire for the ignition, and maybe 2 for the lighting/charging? Regarding lighting/charging, I've seen 2 diagrams where both wires were yellow. However, in one wiring diagram I saw, it was a single coil with neither side grounded. Another shows a coil with the center tap grounded....and 2 yellow wires coming out. Do you have access to MultiMeter? It's easy to find out out what you have in the stator by taking a few resistance measurements. Unplug the stator from the harness and measure the resistance (lowest scale) from each yellow wire to ground. If it's a single coil, it should read "open" as in very high/infinity resistance. If it's center tapped, you'll probably see about 1 ohm or less. If I can better understand your stator, maybe I'll be able to help you with the other stuff. Allen [/QUOTE]
