Hey all! Cool forum!
i just got a used (and not running) Baja SC 125. I have charged it up but can't get it to turn over unless I pour gas directly into the carb. It runs for a short minute then dies. Also it looks like the poor thing has taken a few spills. Needs new plastics, fender, body pieces, turning signals, and mirrors. I have scoured the net and found a PDF parts list but can't seem to find parts anywhere. Thought this might be a fun project toy for getting around town this summer but maybe I just threw away my money. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Not a mechanic by any means but I have tools and like to tinker. Thanks!

 We will love to tinker with you! This is a good scooter and I know there are places one can get parts but like you said sometimes it's hard. Sounds like the carb is topped up or needs a little work and Alley is the carb man. Start a thread in the 50 to 200CC section and let's get started! JR

Welcome Wild, good to have you on the forum, and yes it sounds like the carb needs a little TLC(Tender Loviing Cleaning).
The pilot jet and its passage are probably all clogged and is just running off the ENRICHER when cold, then when the Enricher shuts off the extra fuel for cold starts no more gas due to the Pilot jet and its passage are clogged.

Thanks JR, Alleyoop, and Luke. Excited to get this one running and start saving some gas. Any parts places you would recommend?

Okay guys. Got this scooter running like a champ. Yes, It was a gunked up carb jet..the lower one. Seems like a ton of people have this issue after the scooter sits too long.
Now I need to find some body plastics to replace some of the cracked ones on here. I am not necessarily trying to go back to stock...I just want good body pieces that fit this model. I have heard that this scooter was a purchase from Zongshen by Pep Boys. I have seen some pictures of the Zongshen Spy 125 and it is nearly the same. Of course they stopped making it or providing parts. Any ideas? Will plastics for other GY6 scooters fit?
Would love to get it in all black then chrome out the engine parts...trunk...etc. like really deck it out nicely. Thanks!
