Aliexpress.com has many kinds of parts (and other things)... from cylinder heads to carburators for GY6... even a cylinder assay.  It's a chinese company but they ship.  Watch the shipping costs (some things are free shipping but not all) and the minimum number to purchase... sometimes you have to buy 10 of an item.  Just go to their website and do a search for "GY6 motor" and see what they carry.

Did you need the whole engine? What is broken? Did you want a larger cylinder? Is the cylinder assay broken? Is the carburator any good?  The GY6 engine is extremely common in China and the Phillipinnes but there are a few places stateside that carry parts... you local scooter shop for one.

Good luck.

thanks for ur reply skishades-i need a new engine (camshaft/one of the bearings broke/came apart) since it would be cheaper to get a new one rather than rebuild it.

just sucks that its out of mfr warranty...

im not sure-people say its a taiwanese engine, so im going to basically need an engine that can handle 14" wheels :-\

i can get one for the 16" wheel one-but im going to need to re-wire and all this other crap that is simply not worth it-imho

you do know the 150cc engine is the same engine regardless of wheels.  I think the 14" wheel may have a 125cc engine but then you need a 125cc engine... it won't go up to 150 if you put new wheels on it too.
