Taiwan SYM GY6 150 questions

ErikTheRed · 06-30-2016, 05:43 AM

Hello all, new to the forum. I just ordered a BMS Sand Sniper 150 for my daughter, the buggy is advertised as having a "Taiwan SYM GY6 Honda clone engine". In doing my research, it seems the SYM engine is a good quality unit but I'm finding some info and forum comments that the SYM engine is different enough that many of the common GY6 clone parts won't fit. For example, after my daughter gets some experience in the new buggy, I plan to upgrade some of the common stuff like carb and/or jetting, air filter, CDI & coil, and CVT stuff.... pretty much the same simple upgrades everyone eventually does. These upgrades and the availability of parts (and the costs) are the main reasons I chose the GY6 platform. I just want to make sure all of these common upgrade parts will fit the SYM engine just as they would most Chinese clone 150's. Thanks for any help!
