Are you saying it's a 50cc with EFI ?
If so, I guess it would need an ECU flash.

If it's a CDI system, it might be simpler. Maybe the 150cc engine comes with a carb and peripherals like CDI/coil.

Since the manual indicates the larger engine, I am sure you can swap in that 150, if you can get away with it. It's not an expensive engine. Displacement is the most effective mod possible, and it...
