I. D. ing Lin Hai scooter By frog (Read 845 times)

[frog]

My neighbor does bodywork and I do the mechanical work for him. He came up with a Lin Hai scooter in nice shape that does not run. It has some throttle issues. I ride motorcycles and am a fair mechanic, but know nothing about this machine. It has no markings except Lin Hai. I am struggling to get the body work off to get to the mechanics of this scooter.Do you have any online scematics or break downs of how this should come apart so I don"t break up any bodywork? Any way to I.D. what size it is? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Look for a vin , also the engine number is near the oil drain plug . That should be a good start .

First of all welcome to the forum and here is a site that sells and works on the linhai:

.scootertronics.com/liaesc15.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.scootertronics.com/liaesc15.html

As you can see they have a good selection of linhais and just click on the one you may think it is and you can then see several pictures and the specs of each scooter like the 260 for instance:

.scootertronics.com/liae260.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.scootertronics.com/liae260.html

Now here is a manual that will help a little as Chinese manuals are not that good sometimes but it does have a breakdown somewhat of the panels if it is a 260.

Also in our tech section is a panel breakdown on a typical scooter even though it's generic it still can be of some help to take the panels off, just remember lots of screws and for the first time I recommend putting each set of screws with each panel until you get familiar with them and a battery powered screw gun sure helps.

Get back with us and lastly if you can post a picture of the scooter and the engine it would be most helpful in us identifying it.

Thanks guys. If I get this one up and running he has a 81 Honda Express that his son in law tore apart that he will give me. Clean little Honda and it will be good for the kids to start on.

[JR]

Yes it will and we have manuals and such for it and I'm going to get them in the non-Chineses section soon and for sure we want to help any way we can fixing it up!

Did you figure out which scooter and engine this one was? Curiousity has got me1 LOL

Here's a photo:



The VIN is :

LLBMA1T283T163129

[JR]

We have a VIN number locator in the general tech section but are you sure it's LLB and not LL8? We don't have a LLB listed but the LL* is linhai.

I'm thinking this is your scooter?

Wheres the vin locator in the General Tech?

Nevermind I found it.

[frog]

Sorry for the delay. My real job is driving a truck and it takes me away. You are right, the vin isLL8. I believe this is an Aeollus 50. It is a 2 stroke. Got it fired up and throttle sticks. After I get it to idle down it will run but then die like it's running out of fuel. I'm gonna check out the throttle cable and clean this carb out. Frog

[JR]

Alright frog nice find and the LL8 is linhai and I also think you're right it's a Aeoilus 50 and we have several good carb cleaning how to's in the tech section and please keep us informed on your progress and if we can help let us know.

Got this Lin Hai going and it is a nice scooter. I buzzed into town with it and on it's speedo was close to50! Everything works great, lights etc. What can we use for 2-stroke oil? I have some Spectro for dirt bikes but it's not sold around here anymore. The store in town sells Penzoil 2-stroke oil for general use. Would that be ok? What NGK plug will work in this? We are out in the boonies and the auto parts store doesn't have alot of information.
Thanks for your help JR and I'm gonna drag that Honda express home and start on it soon. They said it had reed valve problem but took the head and barrel off. I thought the reed valve was in the intake manifold. Will probably contact you about that. Your board has been a great help.

Linhai is a fairly decent scooter... certainly a cut above the average Chinese efforts

[JR]

Frog I have to confess two storkers are not my strong point and one can get in the oil debate quickly and I know a lot of guys like the Amosil and Lucas brands generally priced decent and available at a lot of auto parts stores and know what you mean on living in the booonies and not having a lot places to buy stuff. Some stick to dino oil and others swear by the synthetics and some by racing oils, heck on @t some even look for a bettrer smelling oil! LOL

Not sure on the plug but I'll look it up, did you get a manual for it? Should list the plug if you did.

Never got a manual. Just your info you have posted and looking around on the internet.
