I bought a $200 Chinese Scooter - Getting It Running!
Looking for a fun little project, get yourself a scooter! I picked this up for $200, spend some time and a few dollars on it and got a good, reliable scooter.
Parts I used:
GY6 Fuel Pump: amzn.to/4egZ2IT
GY6 Spark Plugs: amzn.to/4fDeQH7
Didn't need a new one, but this is a best cheap GY6 carb I've used: amzn.to/40B1qqx
Fuel Level Sender: amzn.to/3CpgeOY
Battery: amzn.to/4eimIwx
Tire Valves: amzn.to/4eimIwx
Fuel Lines and Filter: amzn.to/4eimIwx
Carburator Cleaner: amzn.to/4eimIwx
Vinegar is going to be cheaper at the grocery store
2 stroke oil is going to be cheaper at your local auto store.

If you dont know the difference between a inverter and a converter, dont make youtube videos giving advise.
Stop calling it an inverter!!!
good video was looking for this. does the screws hit the body underneath the plastic
sideways gets absolutely no glug
Excellent pre explanation. Video. Audio quality. Everything. Work of DIY art. :)) EDIT: Would have been better to say what size Ratchet to handle the special wrench tool. It's 3/8's? it seems from a Amazon Review but I'm not sure.
Is it safe to purchase a converter from amazon for $80 or do i need to pay $200 from a different sourse.
I almost gave up till I watched this video. It worked like a magic. A big thank you for helping me out.
Thanks for the tip
Spray silicone or WD 40 with Silicone is much easier- no blade required!
But it’s a PITA to get off glass…
It can be pretty misleading because even though it says to use 5w-30 those Duramax 2.8l engines use a specific light duty diesel oil. I know because at the dealer they make us put in those bottles of 5w-30 oil that are for light duty diesel engines. Don’t use the ones rated for gasoline engines.
Correct, they need dexos2 oil…. It’s harder to come by than I’d like.
There's this crazy thing called memory if you learn to use it it might help a bit
How many cars/trucks/motos you got eh?
@CarDoItYourself 4 vehicles and 1 dirt bike 2001 f150 2002 audi tt 2014 ford taurus 2003 vw jetta
@ cool, so half of what I have to remember
@CarDoItYourself i was an auto tech for 7 yrs. My memory has always been pretty good Hondas usually 17mm ford's can be 16mm or 19mm dodges use 13mm and same with kia and hyundai Ford modular v8 carry 6qts v6 5.5 Dodge 4 cyl 5 qts v8 7qts My apologies didn't mean to cause any frustration
@@joshua22099 I can’t remember what I had for breakfast…. No way I’m remembering the capacity of everything I own.
I just google it on my way to the toolbox and keep sharpie off my classic collection
@@Shenkosky sharpies don’t touch the nice cars, my daily’s and my truck have seen worse than a sharpie…. They’ve seen kids.
Never thought of this. Great tip
That's why there is something called the handbook, usually in the glovebox.
and?
@CarDoItYourself if you have to ask that 'question' then you should not be talking about anything to do with vehicles.
lol… I’m not digging through my glovebox, flipping though a 100 page manual that tells me not to drink the contents of the battery to find the page that has oil capacity when I can just look at the top of my core support…. But you do you keyboard commando 😂
O woooow😐😕thanks for this!!
It sounds so obvious when you say it out loud like howd I not think if it
Noice
i use an ez drain
Had those on other cars, liked them, but it won’t clear the skid plates on my truck, and my Supra’s already low enough…
5W30 in a diesel ? Is it the 4 cyl, or 6
4, 2.8LWN
6 infinity t. Got it.
If you change your oil on a regular basis, the shit becomes memorized. I think I memorized mine after the first time I changed my oil. Lol.
I’ve got 9 things that need oil changes and can’t even remember what I had for lunch….
My japanese rigs all have a 14mm drain bolt, my jeep has a 13mm, and my 2 gms both have a 15mm. Yet i still bring all three sockets everytime i go under any of them lol
I feel that
90% of gm cars use a 15mm or in rare cases will use a 10mm never seen anything else for a gm car.
15mm quarts got it
68t. Quarts. Got it
😂
I think mericans use gallons
Wow I'm not a car person that makes perfect sense
I am looking at the flexible style for my sprinter. I think that might be better
Plowing in the back of you is just CRAZY TALK Mann. 😒😣 Freaky Lul Dude
Great video x1000 better than any 10 min useless video online to deal with this issues ! Efficient, straight to the point ! Love it
you keep saying BREAK LIGHT WIRE, it is the REVERSE WIRE you are hooking up
That's what I get for trying to film, narrate and work at the same time!
thank you youtube algorithm this video was actually interesting
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
If you don’t have angry police the Coleman mini bikes are pretty awesome
I live in California.... Im pretty sure I'd do jail time 😂
good vido
Thank you!
Id be cool to cram a briggs & stratton vanguard vtwin
Nah, this ones staying electric.
@CarDoItYourself fair enough id have been funny though with the engine being called vanguard
@@thundermite1241 definitely would be funny, have you checked out Vasily Builds? He Hayabusa swapped one of these!
Really good video!
Thank You!!
That's not an inverter, that's a converter.
Dont you mean, Converter?
Thanks from Chicago
Just subscribed to both channels. I have a 1980 Comuta Car. Running and driving. Upgraded controller and 10 6 VDC golf cart batteries.
just watched you lithium conversion. Where did you get a battery box that would accommodate a larger lithium battery?
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm on a huge difficult sticker on my window
Very nice video 100% worth it❤
Thank you :)
I appreciate the hell out of this video 🤙🏼🙏🏼
lol this was pitched as "the easy way". its not, it is the cheap way tho which is plenty good enough. very helpful vid thank you
Show how you install them how you got the wiring cables through inside the interior
Here’s how we did it: How To Install An Auxbeam Switch - 6 Gang or 8 Gang ua-cam.com/video/HaGgstjLna4/v-deo.html
did this on my PC, and it worked amazingly! Left no marks, no residue, and a 100% happy camper. Thanks for the tips!
Something I've been using to weld cracks on my citicar body is a soldering iron with a wide flat tip borrowed from my wood burning kit. I also suggest when possible putting some JB weld on the interior of the body where you fix the cracks from the exterior. Like you mentioned, it's pretty this plastic and most of these cracks are from structural strain so they could pop right back up if you drive it often. Keep it up! I really need to get back to rewiring mine lol
Good advice on the JB weld, I’ve also started using abs cement and a thinner cement that’s closer to the viscosity of water to penetrate cracks.
I did a video on this subject and found that the WIFCO converter does a poor job of charging my lithium ion batteries. I put the jumper cable to cause the 8955AD converter for lithium battery parameters. I just did one week boon docking. The WIFCO 8955AD never reached near 14.5-.6 volts to properly charge my batteries. I only got 13.6 volts out of converter. This resulted my batteries reaching a 13.2 volt settled charge. This is only a 50% LiTime charge capacity. Go Victron. My WIFCO upgrade was $200 wasted.
Thank you for sharing this tip. It works! My brother was able to remove the barcode decal from the side window of my car in just one minute using your method. We like the way you presented your instruction: simple but easy to understand.
Can't wait...
