with buggies, the easiest way to determine AC or DC is to turn the key on and turn the lights on. if they come on, it's a DC system. If you need to have the buggy running to get the lights to work then it's an AC system.

hope that helps.

The small 4-pin rectifier only puts out enough DC to keep the battery charged. If you plan to run a constant DC load (LED lights), use the larger rectifier off a 250cc buggy that uses two pigtails.

You will need to rewire the rectifier plugs since they do not match - Buggy Depot does have an adapter cable that does what you need if you are not comfortable with rewiring. Whether you upgrade stators depends on how much electrical load you plan to run. If you keep your total load under 75w (6A), a 6-pole stator will handle it. The 250cc rectifier allows for up to three phases of AC input. Only the 11-pole GY6 stator has three, but 2-phase 6-pole and 8-pole stators will work fine with the upgraded rectifier.

BTW: Most scooters have an 8-pole stator capable of over 100w (8A), so you may have enough capacity for what you need. There is no way to check if you eight poles or six without pulling the flywheel and counting the windings.

do the rear brakes work? fronts?

I hate to be the bearer of more bad news for you...., BUT that's why I am here ! Unless you live in a flat part of Ar.,and don't need to worry about climbing any hills. You are going to want/need to change out those scooter gears for buggy gears. Great top end,very bad low end.
