People 150 engine identification code placement

[larks]

Hi folks,

Thinking about non oem parts for my 2004 scoot and reading about Gy6 engines. Finally got around to looking for the code on my engine just to verify but can't find it!

Story is that the GY6 moniker, "157QMJ", is stamped on bottom of cvt cover next to gear oil drain. Nada. Or anywhere else.

So where? Hope you don't have to turn bike upside down

Okay, my bad. Realized there is an engine code below front corner of cvt cover But it says BA30, which is what this p150 engine is.

Several posts refer to it as a GY6 engine so was looking for that Id and ignored the BA30. Not true! I guess it's foundation is similar to Gy6 but have already discovered several differences. Parts transfer ain't going to be so easy.
