Got a Carter Striker Ace, I think...

[frostyflammable]

The reason I say I think is that I cannot find much on it. This is from my friends father in law who bought it brand new in about seven years ago and it has been ridden a total of three times on his property. It has been sitting for quite some time so the carb needs cleaning, it will crank and start but shut down right after.

I’m not sure what these ran when new but I got it for $400 and I’m excited. Looks to be a GY6 with FNR box, disk brakes on both front wheels and back axle. All electronics seems to work will just need to do some carb work I hope to get it running.

Anyone know much about them can’t find much on the web.

Thanks.

PS the most powerfull 150cc gy6 so far (13hp) if it's a 250cc we need to check back on the specs..
(best if you can tell us it's model number)

Thanks you sir, I’ll try and get the model number next time I’m out on the property.

I know that the Carter Bros Talon 150cc ran for around $2000 I think when they were being sold at Northern Hydraulics/Northern Tool. So I would say probably close to $2500 brand new for this one. Trying to find any GY6 engine that's not for a scooter/moped is quite difficult.

Finally got to digging in and it is in fact a 150cc GY6 type of engine. I never cleaned this type of carb before but took my time and methodically cleaned every crevice and reassembled and she roared to life with no time.

I am debating if I want to get any performance CDI or stage 1 kits since it is nice and quiet now and it does get up and go. Just need to adjust the parking brake lever and all will be well and she will be ready for a trial run at Rocky Ridge here in Denton, TX. Only been to Rocky Ridge once but it seems to be a nice property to go and have fun.

I am also trying to find a PDF of the parts diagram if anyone has any clue where I could get one.
