Buddy Italia Blinkers won't blink

I just got my first scooter, the Buddy Italia 150, and I'm very excited about it. I picked it up used and there are a few minor bugs that I have to get worked out. The turn signals light up but they don't blink. I've done a little research and have seen the voodooscooter video about installing a new universal flasher relay but two problems: 1. they are out of business and 2. I haven't changed the bulbs to LED they are still the stock ones. Will changing the relay fix my problem or could it be something else???

Was the scooter bought new from a dealer or used?

The issue is still probably the relay—there's one in there somewhere, but I'm not sure where it's located. Inside the legshield, probably.

You can get a replacement for the OEM one from Scooterworks.com. If they don't list it online, call them. They're very helpful!

Before you go too crazy - is the battery good? If the battery is weak, the blinkers ... won't. On the other hand, if your scoot starts via the electric starter, the battery's probably fine.

The flasher relay is indeed up under the front cowl, and is very easy to get to.

I believe this is the part.
