Not sure of the name
Everyone is copying everyone

I've found sites saying there engines are a direct copy of engine X
Only to find engine X is a copy of engine Y
And so on

If its for sale just leave it
All the reviews are bad
Stuff like is there anyone who hasn't had issues
And they all seam to require a rebuilt around 1000kms

I've been trying to chase up some info for HaM551

I got it for free so ill sell it i guess what prob 200$?

Exactly, all of these engines look really similar to eachother. It's almost impossible to tell you what it is.
Have you looked up the serial number already?

@Topicstarter, it appears you have a wrong starter. The + connection is with mine on the side, close the the gear. Yours is at the top, almost under the carburetor. I guess you'll start to have a look at another one. I'll post a picture of mine as soon as possible so you know what to look for.

Oh, ok. You could make some sort of hub to get it connected to your engine. Goodluck!

Unless the sale price can get u something good

This is the worse engine I have ever come across think I'll make a bracket of some sort to hold it in place fits nicely just the dam bolt holes lol note to everyone that comes across thes engines AVOID and pick something you no ov BUT I will not give up till my kart is built and running big thanks to you guys for your usefull info and advice I'll keep yous posted on how I get on just got to work out the collar exhaust as it needs a CG125 exhaust that's the only one that fits in so far

Well I fired my engine up today and guess what didn't start up been googling for months on end and all I get is a zongshen 5 speed indecator guy said I need a ECU bord to power it up because its a safty neutral switch but on the other hand my wiring loom don't have anymore wires to connect a gear sensor :/

My engine is working perfectly without the gear sensor cable attach to anything...
I haven't tried the electric start, as the cables aren't hooked up yet, but as far as I can see, there is a slight chance the starter won't start when you're not in neutral...
There's a cable connected to the starter solenoid which I don't know where it's coming from.

Safty switch need the gear sensor wiring to a gear display and light
