NM! Thanks guys. Turns out there are fuses attached to the front of the battery box, AND hidden on the side of the battery box. Who knew? But I'm glad I went out and looked. 10A fuse was blown.

My 150i started running rough and throwing an engine light a few weeks ago. After checking the air and spark portions of the fuel-air-spark equation I decided it was a fuel problem and decided to troubleshoot the injector.

First I pulled the injector off the throttle body turned on the key with the injector pointed into a can. No gas. Then I pulled the fuel line off the injector and did the same thing. GAS! And plenty of it! OK, the fuel pump is working.

Next I checked injector function by removing it and connecting it to a 9-volt battery on the workbench. I could hear the injector click and I could shoot carb cleaner through the injector with the circuit completed. So the injector was good-to-go.

Then I used a 12-volt check light to see if the injector was getting power. It was, at key on and start button pushed.

I was stumped. I had power, fuel, and a functioning injector. But it wouldn't work when it was all connected to the bike. I decided to look at the wires going to the injector. Maybe the negative was bad or broken. And sure enough, it was. The negative wire was broken, right at the connector. No way to rewire it, but I found a matched connector on Amazon. Wired it in this morning and "VROOOM!" Yay!

In any event, you might have a similar problem some day. Maybe you can use one or all of these tricks to isolate it and get your scooter back on the road.

Hi Guys,

I have a 150i. I'd like to start contributing to the forum. Where are the 150i posts? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I spent an entire day searching for a drive belt on Monday. It was almost impossible to find. To save you the trouble I'm here to reveal my findings. A Bando 781 / 20 / 30 will work. $50 on Amazon. Apparently an 800 Malossi will work too.

Hi. I need a drive belt for a Movie 150. I'm sure the belt from other scooters would work, but I can't figure out the nomenclature. Does anyone know which belt would work on my scooter?

Thanks,

Hi Folks,

I just did my first valve adjustment to the 4-vlave head on the Movie 150. I'm happy to report that it is almost as simple as doing a valve adjustment on a two-valve head, except for the extra valves. All the usual stuff has to come off, plus the floorboards. There is a cross member in front of the valve cover that you should also remove. It's not mentioned in the instructions, but it makes the job a heck of a lot easier.

You find tdc just like on the two valve head. Turn the engine until the big hole in the cam sprocket is visible, then line up the little holes with the edge of the engine. The spec is 0.12 mm for intake and exhaust. I found that each of my valves had tightened up. I waited to check them until 4000 miles, which I now think is too long. I'm going to check them at 2500 miles next time. I'm also going to buy a 3 mm open face wrench (hard to find!). I turned (and held) the adjusters with a pair of pliers this time, but having the actual correct tool would make it a little easier.

Hi Guys,

After five years on an A125 I just picked up a 2013 Movie 150. I love it already. It's about the same size, but it's a little faster, the brakes are better, and the suspension is better. I think it's gonna be  a lot of fun.

I'm looking to download a service manual . Does anyone have a virus-free recommendation?

Thanks,

I'd replace the fuel filter and the spark plug first. They're both easy and cheap. It sounds kinda like the fuel filter.
