hopefully i can find parts cheap because i found site that selling oem parts and they wants $$$$ more than i gave for whole bike
Nice, yeah, I would keep it, especially since it runs. Basic maintenance should be all you need.this is the engine and gear box off of scooter
Dude, I always wanted to find one of those scooters and swap in a 125cc(same setup w/trans) Saw those on ebay a few years ago.That's a Chinese D1E41QMB 2 stroke scooter engine it's a long drive and they always crack in that same spot lol without the cowling cover and the side cover it's going to run extremely hot it's one of the most popular Chinese 2 stroke scooter engines they came in a scooter that I call the butterfly scooter because the front headlight emblem thing looks like a butterfly back in 2003 to 2008 you could buy the entire scooter for about $700 new they literally run forever it's common for people to get over 10,000/15,000 miles on those engines without having to do anything to them.
The carburetors are really funky with variable fuel rate and set up for an automatic oil mixing system they get about 50 to 75 miles to a gallon![]()
I had one back in the day I bought it new on eBay for $700 shipped ( this was before eBay was a scam site ) they are department of transportation approved and are clearly labeled D.O.T. on all the lights and tires and brakes ( unlike pocket bikes ) being under 50cc in most states they did not require to be licensed or titled. I took really good care of it back then I was renting a duplex and it did not have a garage so I kept it in my living room I put about 4,000 miles on it and when I bought my house I ended up selling it for $900 and got a motorcycle.Dude, I always wanted to find one of those scooters and swap in a 125cc(same setup w/trans) Saw those on ebay a few years ago.
Problem, everyone wants $500-$700 for a used one, with no title.
