how to tell if a motor is seized? with pictures
i have just picked up a scooter for$ 80 they said it was seized..
so how do I tell if the motor is truly seized? also does anyone know how to tell the cc of the motor, it has no cc markings on the block. it is called Dadogs, i think it is titled as a 125cc but i cant find any markings. and the only replacement scooter motors on ebay are 150cc or 110cc. so i took everything off the motor (spark plug, exhaust,carb) then put a wrench on the output shaft and manually turned the motor and it is very difficult to turn,( i would say 50-100 ft lbs on my torque wrench. so questions is there a rebuild kit for this motor? is that what it would need? a new piston/parts or if i bought a 150cc scooter off ebay would it bolt right up to the cvt transmission on this scooter? if i got a 110cc off ebay would it bolt right up to the existing transmission? HERE ARE PICS OF THE MOTOR http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...8-06222850.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...8-06222930.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...8-06222826.jpg |
All I can say for sure is that its a 125. The marking shows up in one of your pics "124cc"
|
take the head off (the part with the valve rockers and cam chain) and take a picture of the piston and cylinder. then you may be able to tell

As far as what will bolt in, you'll need measurements of the motor-mounts from both engines to see if they match up. Here's all I could find on : FIFIC Motors And this about Dado Scooters Looks like they've not been around since '04 or '05. As FastDoc said, it's a 124, in the pic. Bill |
thanks everyone. can anyone tell me for sure what motor will bolt right in?
|
take an picture of the overall motor from further back

X2.
It looks like a horizontal Honda clone, but a total engine shot will tell us for sure. |
Here are the engine measurements:
1st set of pictures, paying specific attention to the forth (motor mount) picture: http://www.discountscooterparts.com/E1000.htm Now that we have determined a 150cc GY6 engine will fit in there, you have to measure your case length: Long case (11.25 inches) http://www.partsforscooters.com/150c...&category=8423 Short case (9.5 inches) http://www.partsforscooters.com/150c...category=84231 (there is a shorter case, but it would be a buggy motor, and not suitable for a scooter) And yes, it would be nice to put a 250cc engine in there, but it won't fit, and is water cooled. |

Thanks for the links Reveeen. I had no idea that the GY6 was available in two lengths; is the larger meant to accomodate a bigger diameter wheel?

The "preferred" one for swaps is the long case, though if you wanted stealth, the shorter one will fit better where a 50cc used to be. Quote:

Whoa! An RG500 in a Lambretta? 8O Good luck stopping.
Here's my favourite Vespa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OIl9oLGx1o It's in Spanish and Italian, but you'll get the idea. |

I like their 50cc Vespa: http://www.lambrettainnovation.co.uk...age.php?pid=23 http://www.rotax.com/en/Engine/2004/...ine.Models.htm From what I gather, scooter design does not make for reliable air cooling of big motors (big in size, or horsepower) |
How long has Wild Alaskan been building Vespas? :roll:

here are some pics of the motor
