It's hard to explain to most customers that Chinese scooters can be weird junk. They think you're making excuses. I'd just go with whoever has the pics and specs that look the most like what you have. If it's a little more, so be it. It ain't worth guessing and having a customer wait long periods of time to send parts back and stuff like that. Just make 'em pay a few bucks more if it means you get it right the first time.

I agree. I don't care how cheap the customer is, when they deal with me they have to pay my labor rate and whatever the right part(s) cost or they can take it somewhere else. Everybody wants their scooter fixed as cheap as possible so I always call them and tell them how much the parts and labor are before I order parts to give them the option of backing out of the whole thing if they want. When I first started out I didn't work that way and I would get people that wanted to try and negotiate the total when I returned their scooter to them. Getting prior approval on the work over the phone avoids all that.

Definately not worth the hastle to experiment , more so as you have a customer waiting on you. Think regulators and light bulbs added to the list of parts I ended up with the stator that had the best pictures showing me that it looked like my old stator and paid a middle price range on Ebay. Now, I never mentioned that the electrical connector was different did I? The 3 plug was made for a wider pin and didn't fit. (couldn't see that in the pictures)I had some connectors left from putting plugs on my headlights, and swapped the 3 plug out from the bad stator. Could have been worse.
