My friend is selling a 250cc scooter with a blown engine for dirt cheap. I have a 150cc engine that is good I want to put in it. Before I buy it though I want to know if anyone else has ever put a 150cc engine into a 250cc scooter frame? It looks like the same mounting but I can't exactly lug around a 150cc engine on my own scooter to go and see if it fits lol, just not realistic.

Fix the 250 engine.
BTW - you never even thanked me.
First you were riding a little child's 50cc scooter. Then you thought about BBK'ing it. I urged you to get a big boy toy. You sneered at me! Then you GOT a big boy toy, and never even said "thanks for the advice!". Now you are fooling around with a 250.
BTW - the 250 is WAY more engine in evetry way. of course more power. But, probably ewater cooled, way more stator, way bigger variator, way better clutch. FIX THE 250 @%)!!!!

It's not worth it. It's rusted completely on the inside and full of rain and other junk from sitting around with the topend and transmission torn apart for years. It's also a 2 stroke and I don't mess with those really if I don't have to. Not to mention I have a completely good low mile 150cc engine waiting to be used. There's really not much worth anything on it as it has been stripped of all good parts beforehand, besides a police siren and lights set lol.
It kind of looks like I could mount the 150cc engine in it if I find one of those curvey engine mount things that doesn't get in the way of the carb and just attach the engine to the rear shocks.

That's a really good deal. If I was in PA my bid would already be in. |

The scooter I'm grabbing looks sort of like that but with a flat seat. From what I've seen so far what I know about it is it is a kymco, liquid cooled with 12 inch tires. The frame is in good shape, most things are missing but that's not a big deal if I can put a new engine in it since I would need to change everything anyways. rcq92130 Not sure what you're talking about if you remember I joined this forum and already had installed a BBK, look at my first posts lol. But hey thanks for the advice nonetheless |

Seems it wasn't a 250cc it is actually a 150cc kymco super 9 liquid cooled 2 stroke. The part to put the engine mounting arm thing seems to be off by about half an inch for a 4 stroke but I'm thinking I can find a way to work around that, otherwise it looks like I can just drop in a 4 stroke 150cc engine and strip all of the unused crud off of it.

So the mounting arm thing that connects to the frame and to the top of the engine is too wide for the 4 stroke engine. Also I tried a 4 stroke mounting arm with the curve in it for the carb but it was too short to connect to the frame. Is there a nice mounting arm I could buy that would solve this problem by mounting to the frame like a 2 stroke but mounting to the engine like a 4 stroke?

Call the guys at monstergy6, they mostly do ruckus stuff, but are very knowledgeable about swapping engines and how to mount them.
