You've got a GY6 designation on your 250? I have no explanation. Is it in the serial number or what? It's definitely not a GY6 though. Yes, CF Moto and Honda struck an agreement years ago and CF took over the manufacturing of that engine. If I remember right CF even made some of the engines Honda used for various applications. Cookees knows a lot more about this whole deal than I do. I'll send him a PM and see if he can add anything. Rich[/quote]

Yup. I have a GY6 on my engine. Could not remember where I saw that but went out for a look. Found it on my oil drain plug. No special designations or on paper work, but there it is for sure.

Oh yes, I forgot to say my Honda clone is water cooled same as the Linhai engine is water cooled.

Cruiser is correct, but have you checked the engine style and Vehical Emissions Control tags for personal satisfaction? Done your homework and know what you have for sure knowledge.

Enjoy your ride. It is ridding time most every where now. At least on some days.

A last suggestion. Have you tried other forums? If not try this one. Lots of folks from this forum also show up over there but you might also get others that don't come here so it opens up the chances of getting some experienced help.

Bed time for me. I will look at my latch tomorrow. Those latches have some strong spring driven parts so I would be very careful about putting fingers in there. Maybe as you suggested, a wire. Or maybe a screw driver. If that rubber piece was pushing up then maybe a bit of lift on the seat, a wedge or something, while activating the latch would help.

Tomorrow for me.

I just looked at my machine. If I look up from under the left side panel I can see the two cables, lock to front latch and front latch to rear latch. Assuming that our scoot bodies are the same I think you can remove a couple of the side screws. One at the rear of the bottom panel and one behind the rider peg. Then flex the panel, and maybe find a cable end going to the side latch. Grab with vice grips and pull to open the latch.

Just a wild guess.

Hope someone more knowledgeable shows up.

Interesting times today. I have read in places that this JCL 250A was a Honda driven machine. Then I went to the JCL USA web site and looked into things there. I pulled down the parts manual and clicked on the engine assembly and it showed a Linhai engine. So I asked for the valve adjustment film. This looked also like a Linhai engine with the intake valve on top and the other valve on the bottom. I have never adjusted valves on either engine but I thought the Honda clone could be adjusted just from the top.

Time to go back to the engine look and see just what you have.

He also showed how to remove the back plastics and when he was at the battery area I looked but could not tell from his pictures if there was a fuse box in there. The wiring drawing was just as crude as the one for my scooter too.

I sure wish these designations could be sorted out and made more constant. Several distributors seem to all buy from the same factories but with slight changes and different numbers.

Watch this film about this Honda scoot.



But is it really a Honda driven machine.

OK, I am assuming you took off the battery cover first. It is in a box about 1 1/2 inch size, left side of battery at the rear of the battery. I had to use a screwdriver to pry the cover off.

My radio will only work if the key is switched to the run position. It works with the engine running or kill switch off, engine not running. If you don't find the fuse box where I said mine is, then I am as lost as you.
