Hi guys! Changed engine, runs very well but now issue is that no lights working at all. Vespa stood for 5 months so the battery probably dead but when stood at idle bit longer fuel level and horn started working, but still no headlight, taillight and stops. I don't have multimeter and battery charger and can't buy now so maybe something else you can advise me? Is the stator is only issue? Thanks!

P.S. I have fully working stator from previous engine but most bolts ale totally f*ckd, any advises how to remove them without drilling?

The headlights (and the hi-beam tally light) are regulated AC, the other lights are DC. If the battery was dead, the stator and regulator will be struggling to get the voltage (both AC and DC) to rise enough to get the lights to work.

The horn and fuel level will work with lower voltage.

See if you can borrow a battery charger - the battery might come back to life if it wasn't too discharged. If it had become completely flat it's probably beyond resurrection though.
