Hey Everyone! I'm a gearhead who loves breaking down, modifying , and reassembling pretty much any engine. I've been thinking about messing around with a scooter for some time, and I think I might have a chance now. I have the opportunity to buy a Xingyue "XY 150T" 150cc scooter for $100 - $200 (we are still haggling over a final price). It doesn't run well, when you pull back on the throttle the engine bogs down like it's not getting any fuel or it doesn't have any compression, it basically has no power. The owner had a tire blowout and was forced to ride it home. I think under the stress of trying to go up a mountain with a flat tire for 15 miles the motor got hot and he burned up a ring or a valve? So here's my question: Does anybody know about the motor in this thing? It says "XY150T" as the engine model (I'll include pictures). Is this a GY6 clone? I know nothing about scooters, but I do know GY6 is a popular engine design and there are lots of big bore kits and performance parts to beef them up. So yeah, is this XY150T motor a GY6 clone, and if so it should accept a GY6 180cc big bore kit and GY6 performance parts, right? I'm thinking if it has a burned up valve or something I'll just go ahead and put a big bore kit on it. Thank you guys in advance, looking forward to learning a lot from all of you

yes it is a gy6 based chinese scooter the motor code should be on the side of the motor near where the center stand connects left side that will tell you what exact motor you have

Well I ended up buying the scooter, so I'm sure I'm going to have many, many questions down the road as I build and tinker on it. Thank you guys for all your help.
