Any help finding parts for this thing?
My neighbor's been pestering me forever to tune this scooter up for him. I've worked on it once before but finding parts for this is a royal PITA. Googling Rally USA Grido 50 gets me nowhere fast but looking at the type badges it seems this thing is a rebranded Longjia B2. The problem with this is according to the internet they started making the B2 at 2004 and this is a 2002 and if I'm not completely mistaken this one has a different engine than the 2004. At least the electronics are different as the CDi doesn't match. From what I can gather this engine's type is LJ1PE40QMB. The Finnish retailer of Rally USA, Modularbox oy has proven wholly uninterested in aiding us with this project. Any info or help greatly appreciated. Looking for a big bore cylinder kit possibly 80cc, suitable carb to go with it, power exhaust, the works.

This is what I've gathered so far; the scooter is known as a Longjia Grido 50 around europe, but that doesn't take me too far as the info found with that name gives me the 2010-onwards version with the LJ50QT-H engine whereas the older B2 Grido has the LJ1PE40QMB engine which can also be found, for example, from a TNT Otto retro scooter.

I know the guy who used to distribute TGB 2T scooters here in the US, but he no longer deals with TGB, but may have some parts. However, It does not appear as though TGB uses a Minarelli design, and come to think of it, I think they are related to the Suzuki 2T engine, not the Yamaha, and I forget the name of it.

Found some more leads in europe like scootershack in UK and Maxiscoot in germany. It's just a royal PITA that you cannot order anything by make or model but need to cross reference everything by engine type or via other vehicles that use the same motor. Already found a 70cc Minarelli cylinder kit for a bargain but still need to source a carb, an exhaust and a few other bits n bobs but at least I now know what to look for
