Does anyone have experience with the xingyue ita 150? I am at my wits end here. I cannot find the right head for this. It's engine number is xy157qmj-3
I've tried 2 heads from scrappy. One fit bolt wise but the rocker arm assembly didn't fit. The standard b case heads bolts dont line up. Nobody else seems to have anything near what I need. Is it a lost cause? I'm exhausted from looking. I suppose I could buy a new engine but there may be electrical conflicts (I think I have a DC system).
I don't have the original head to compare it to so I'm poking around in the dark pretty much. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Next time you are in St. Louis I'll buy you a beer.

New engines are cheap, cheaper than buying a new scooter. The basic 150cc engines can have different quirks (like your head bolt pattern, rocker arms, ignition), but they all have the same motor mounts, exhaust, intake, etc and can be swapped easily. Note you'll have to keep your original ignition system (the stuff behind the flywheel)

My donor engine is a long case but still too short to be a drop in solution. In the world of B cases there is no standard I have discovered. And considering they don't manufacturer this particular style of scooter and all but abandoned the design, I have my work cut out for me. Rare is great for steaks and books but not for scooters. |

A wee bit too spend for me.
Hack and weld is the route I'm going

I had a similar problem. With a B motor ugg it's no fun just a lot of head scratching futile interweb sourcing and reengineering
And at the end of it all I got a standard gy6 150
It's much better to work on

I'm trading it to a guy for a honda spree. I figure I'll kit it, up the gearing and get a good pipe for it. I'll pop around on all that Japanese 2 stroke goodness or sell it and get a standard 150. But if the spree works out and I don't look too silly on a tiny scooter, I may keep it. |

I just sat on the back seat @6'3" it's more comfortable than knocking my knees on the dash.

The Spree is a challenge. It's cute, but too limited in what you can do, and the brakes are hopeless. It also doesn't have a variator, so it's top-speed limited to about 25mph or 45km/hr no matter what you do to it. Try to get something with at least a disc brake on the front.
