Can anyone explain why you can only go up to 150cc big bore from a 50cc stock gy6? How come I cant put a 180cc big bore kit on the 50cc motor?
Just wondering if i should buy a scooter w/ a 50cc that is $500 less than the 150cc version and then put a big bore kit on it.
Any and all input is welcome and encouraged!

I have this scooter that im trying to get running and it hasnt started in years. I have established that it has spark. I also took off the carburator and gave it a quick spray w/ carb cleaner and an air compressor. It had rust in the gas tank so i have to get a new one. The question/questions is/are:
Are there any steps I should take before trying to start it besides the above mentioned? ie. should I get a new fuel petcock, new hoses, and new fuel filter?
Is there any way to know if it is a short case or long case engine?
If it is a short case, can I still stretch it on a ruckus frame?
Should I take the motor apart and what should it be cleaned with?
Any feedback is appreciated

For the record, once I pulled the break the scooter wanted to turn over. So it should work after some TLC
Thanks all

Ok didnt know that I might need to hold the brake to start it. Battery is fine, and I havent tried kickstarting it yet. Ill try the brake idea. I am wondering if it is a faulty kill switch or ignition switch. I have no idea if it could be the starter as well.
Would the blown fuse prevent the scooter from being kickstarted?

OK SO! I found one problem. The fuse was blown. I replaced it and all the accessories came on. I pressed the ignition switch and NADA. I did check the killswitch and it was set to run. Any ideas on the next step?

So I have a gy6 50cc and it dosen't run. I bought it for 60 bucks. The guy who sold it to me was moving out of the house i was moving into and said it just needed a new battery (apparently that was a load of crap). After hooking up a battery I got nothing when turning the ignition. So, Here is what i know.
1. spark plug does spark when i kickstart. (does this mean my coil and stator are good??)
2. when i hooked up the battery and pressed the horn, it worked 1x then stopped. (i used a 12v 12ah battery, did this fry the fuses?) Is that battery a problem?
My instinct tells me it could be either the ignition, fuses, and possibly the starter. Any help or ideas?
Thanks,
GyGuy
