Kymco Sento 50cc engine swap
« on: October 19, 2015, 07:44:10 AM »
The variator on my 2010 Kymco Sento 50cc 4T exploded, puncturing the crankcase.  Kymco lists a  replacement crankcase at over $700, and a complete engine for $1500.  I took a chance and ordered a complete gy6 50cc Chinese engine from ScrappyDog scooter parts for $329. The engine came 2 days later by FedEx, and it fit my Kymco perfectly.  The gy6 came with a generic stator which I swapped for the Kymco stator & flywheel, and it fired up no problem.

Actually it looks just the same as the old one, except it doesn't say "KYMCO" on the left side.  It also has a "QMB139" serial number now instead of the Kymco "SD10E" serial number.  I've attached a photo of the crankcase behind the variator after the variator exploded.  You can see the gash in the crankcase around the crankshaft.
