Hey guys, i joined a couple months ago after buying an x18 and got some great feedback and help getting it running pretty well. my hope was to track it, but it was gonna be too much work and $$$ to get it done so i wound up selling it (for twice what i paid for it
)
so the other nite i found and bought a 50cc 4 stroke X6 (or X8 not entirely sure) for $75!!!
prev owner said it needed a battery charge and he lost the key. i figured it would need some work for that cheap anyway but for the price it was worth a shot.
anyway, i need some more help guys: it was just listed as 50cc 4 stroke so what do you think? X6? X8? its auto elec start, no kicker.
i need to replace the charger/fuse/key box first. buy a charger second, and prob replace the battery. from the looks of it the batt in it is not the right size (does not fit in the metal walls in frame to contain the batt)
so any help is greatly appreciated:
what is the right size battery?
its a 3 prong charger plug, so do i use a 12V charger?
any suggestions on spark plug size? (i wanna replace that since it looks like the stock plug, hope they have an E3 in this size)
i also may swap out the carb, i saw a 26mm mikuni listed as for an x6 or x8 4 stroke, will that work? or is that too big? i also see 22mm.
also prob gonna need a new swingarm as this one is pretty rusty. good for some riding, but def no tracking (see pic below)
if anyone has experience w these bikes please help me out, thanks guys!
