Guy just called me wanting to swap motors on a united motors xspeed 2t to a 139qmb 4t
are the mounting points the same? what all would need to be done electrical wise?
i can get the 4t motor for 279 and for a final price installed, 400
is this worth doing? (considering what might be involved electrical wise.)

I'd never swap the 2T for the 4T unless I had a GY6 around and really needed a ride with some major wrong with the 2T. Motor mounts are different. There will be lots of electrical work, I suggest knowing the system before attempting this sort of stuff. Throttle cable will need to be replaced. Prob more that I'm missing at the moment. PITA to make it simple.
Find out what's wrong with the 2T and maybe you can get some work repairing it instead.

dig this
Remember the bike like mine i sold?
I have 2 more, black and blue. I can get a pink one even cheaper, and it comes assembled except the mirrors and battery.
I thought what the hell, put it on craigslist, if i get a bite, i can have it here in 3 days.
The damn PINK scooter ad is getting TWICE as many inquiries as the others!
lol Goosey I hope you read this lol
(the guy that inquired about the pink one needs a scoot so bad he is ready to buy anything i guess lol)

I have seen a few deals on pink scoots. I almost bought a pink Venus. It was super low miles and asking $400. I would have gladly put $10 in flat black to have another Venus if I had the money and coulda got another 50-100 off from the seller. Coulda had T1 and T2 plus V1 and V2. lol Just didn't have the cash.

ok so i called back and asked for the kid. he said "it was running fine yesterday then my lights and guages and clock went crazy then the motor would cut on and off during riding, now it wont run at all"
are you all thinking what I am thinking?
Electrical.
cdi
coil
stator
something
he said he would pay me $35 for an hour of just checking over the electricals and if we find it the prob my parts markup has always been x 2.5
so..sound electrical to you all? he said it kicks over fine, not locked up. was running great yesterday.
I asked him if he knew how to verify spark..he said uh no but I have a new spark plug if that will help
lol
well i guess we all have to learn.
ok anything crazy i need to look for on this 2t electrical system?

The electrical system is similar enough that if you can figure out your 4T, you can figure it out. It's just not similar enough for an easy swap.

:zap: Yes it sounds like something electrical came loose. Check the grounds like off the battery. For everything to go wonky like that, be the first place I'de look...you never know though, with electrical. Hmm, pink is really not my first choice in color schemes. A few years back the neighbor boys, big strapping football players, rode around on their moms pink scooter all over town. it was kinda cute  |
