Hello all! 
So, I have joined in hopes that someone, somewhere can help me on my quest! I have recently purchased, secondhand, a Geely JL50QT-16 moped in need of repair. My husband and I were thrilled to have a little project and I was thrilled to have something fun to cruise around on. Trouble is, it didn't come with an owner's manual and it's been somewhat of a struggle to find the parts we need to fix it to be running and functional again.
Needless to say, my husband is now slightly upset with the purchase and of course saying we must have made a mistake in buying it. I, myself am not quick to give up, so I'm hoping that someone can help me get this up and running!! (I hope...pretty, pretty please!!!)
As if it isn't obvious, I am new to all of this.
And if it helps, I am going to list all the parts we need to repair/fix the moped.
*Mirrors (I think we found some, but want to be sure they're correct...they are univeral 8mm....but I've found some that are also REVERSE thread...what does that mean?!)
*Air filter housing and air filter
*Battery (It didn't come with one, so we didn't have any to compare to, and without a manual, it's been hard to figure out which one it is. The best I can find is a 12V 4aH....)
*Gas cap cover (Not sure what else to call this. It's the part that covers the gas cap and the lock so that way the lock is actually functional and not just an option....)
*Right front wheel bar cover (Again, unsure what to call it. It's the plastic bit that just covers the bar that holds the wheel. More cosmetic than functional.)
*And if at all possible, an ACTUAL manual for this darn thing! I have found one online, but unsure if it is actually going to be any benefit to us in working on this....
I can say, I didn't think repairing this moped into working order would be such a hard process, but it has been. Any information on any of the parts I need would be much appreciated and VERY awesome!!
