Wow, that thing looks awesome! I don’t even own a scooter but I love watching these and always appreciate your fearlessness is tearing everything apart! Oh, and that gas tank is super cool! 👍
You might want to rethink the fuel feed. You've got a hose between the tank and the shut-off valve. If that hose fails, the entire tank will drain out creating a very dangerous situation if the scooter is parked in the garage where there are ignition sources such as the hot water heater. It would be better to attach the petcock directly to the outlet of the fuel tank, so there is no hose failure hazard.
You're right. There wasn't clearance to the tire for the straight shutoff valve I ordered. I should install a 90 degree valve at the tank. Good advice fore sure. Thank you.
Great content Paul! I’m curious to know what you used and what you did to give the frame such a refresh. I have a similar vintage looking bike that needs a lot of work.
I talk about it a bit more in this video: th-cam.com/video/NtSNROF_KsM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jRTTMQMXeTV_zRfx I just cleaned the frame a bit and spray painted it.
HI Paul, another great video, I left you a note on another video but this one shows it much more in this one, I have almost this exact scooter, I cannot find the CDI, I see yours clearly here, but on mine I dont see anythin in the spot where it should be, how can I identify the CDI wires and attach a CDI to this scooter? I think thats the last thing holding me up, TY again!
@ Paul, Great video! Good timing of things, I like the arrows. I like how you fast forward to certain parts, and you camera composition is on point. Just a question to you and anyone else here who would like to help me out. I want to dissemble my Hyosung Prima 50cc Scooter and fit the parts into 4 large boxes reinforced with wood beams (to protect it during delivery). Now, how should I disemble my scooter into so that it would not be too much labor when I have to resassemble it once I have shipped it to my destination?
My recommendation: box 1: all the light weight plastic parts box 2: engine, exhaust, rear wheel box 3: leave the wiring on the frame, take the handlebars off, set them by the fork box 4: front wheel, air box, any other parts you removed
dude you cracked me up when you said and this shitty piece of rubber! so caught me off guard. your so pro bro! seriously thanks for all the videos you have made. if you only knew how much I refer back to you for information. wish I could pick your brain Ive two scooters I cant get either running and I am about ready to throw them across the room or just smash them and call it a lose.
Unbolting the engine is easy, but the whole project including dealing with the plastic will take at least a whole day. You might be able to do it in 6 hours if nothing goes wrong.
I bought a 150, GY6 I'd like to change it to a 49cc. Does it depend on crank case size? it's a 2011 Jonway. or would it be easier to just sell it, and buy a Honda? Any help would be appreciated.
Getting a Honda is always a better idea. I would never recommend a 50cc over a 150. They're brutally slow and you're likely to get run over by a car. Even when the scooter is running perfectly, a 50cc engine will give you 2 horsepower. The 150 gives you about 9hp. It's less sensitive to tuning, so if it doesn't run quite right or the temperature changes, you don't have to re-jet the carburetor to ride it.
I’ve got a moped I’ve been trying to get running. The dash and tail lights stopped receiving electricity from battery before I could get it started. I tested the battery and checked the fuse. Where should I go from here? Would appreciate some direction
Make sure your battery is fully charged. Does the starter work? You'll need to check for power at the ignition switch, and at the headlight switch. Do a google image search for GY6 wiring diagram, and start testing stuff with a voltmeter.
@@LabCoatPaul so I have located the problem wire in the harness. I cannot find a wiring harness online that looks like it would fit. Do you have any recommended parts distributors? It’s an unbranded Chinese scooter
@@mipc-dm8ij I don't know any place that sells a generic GY6 wiring harness, but you should be able to fix yours by doing a google image search for "GY6 wiring diagram" My favorite scooter parts store is www.partsforscooters.com/
The 150cc carburetors have a weird little vacuum operated pump on the side of the carburetor that helps with the idle. Check out this video if you want to know more: th-cam.com/video/0m13eJrfwOw/w-d-xo.html
@@LabCoatPaul I know you don't the fuel pump now because you're gravity feeding the carburetor but was there any other reason to delete the fuel pump? Will you make a video about the body modifications too?
@@EbonyPope The full video with the modifications is here: th-cam.com/video/NtSNROF_KsM/w-d-xo.html The fuel pump isn't needed when the gas tank is higher than the carburetor. I might end up putting it back in if I have a problem riding up steep hills.
Fantastic step by step, inspired me to work on my PMX 150cc, got the engine out and ready to order a new one 😀

You actually probably saved my home from being leveled…. did NOT know a water heater can light gas fumes 🙏🏼
@@wezwop Of course, I'm referring to gas-fired water heaters, not electric ones. Ditto for furnaces.
That looks easy enough. About to do some DIY to my scooter since I can't get any help. Wish me luck.
Good luck! Here's my Chinese scooter playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL1_JDBt1LSiJQETjZiOFXBKtv-ZzfqEx0.html

How were you able to remove all of the push pins from the wire harness for the stator

help me please I'm having an issue taking it off 1:54 which way do you turn the screw right or left motor scooter
The bolts are normal thread. Turn them counter-clockwise to remove them.
Great video man!🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥

Are most gy6 Chinese scooters carrying the same engine or are they specific to the brand? Thanks
How long does it take to swap out the engines? This is an old video but how long does it take to swap them out for a new engine???
Unbolting the engine is easy, but the whole project including dealing with the plastic will take at least a whole day. You might be able to do it in 6 hours if nothing goes wrong.
Awesome video thx
thanks m8 very nice ..it help me......
got the same scooter

@@LabCoatPaul it's specifically for riding in Key West... Traffic is slow, I should ride a bike. Thanks

@@LabCoatPaul will do, I Appreciate the help. I’ve got a new starter motor to put in because it sounded rough before the loss of electricity

Paul why do some scooters have a vacuum line going to the carb? I have a 50cc Chinese gy6 and mine doesn't have one.

Can you make videos of removing all unnecessary things on a gy6 scooter
Yes. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/li95pzfhAnM/w-d-xo.html
@@LabCoatPaul thanks, one question, is it bad for the engine to run without the pcv hose? Right now I don’t have a hose it’s just nothing on there.
@@tommylundberg9463 It's just for emissions. It won't hurt the engine to not have a PCV hose.
