Because the people at RIMO CARTS have specialized in parts and technical support for nearly 20 years. The other guys specialize in selling vehicles. Thus they want to be done with that vehicle as soon as possible. They don’t have the parts and they don’t have the knowledge. Thus the sooner they can be done with the vehicle the better.
Typically it will take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks but there are many variables including weather time of year, holiday season. We will send you a tracking number if shipped in crate.
The tracking number will become active once the truck picks up your vehicle.

As the Chinese vehicles grow in popularity more and more repair shops are gaining the ability to repair them. Our estimate is more than 50% of repair shops are not competent with Chinese vehicles. We have provided tech support for hundreds of repair shops in the past two decades and we have repaired some vehicles after other repair shops failed and it was not pretty. If you are not going to do your own repair work, before buying a vehicle, check around and make sure there is someone local who can repair your vehicle.

FAQs - Technical Questions
GY6 engines take nearly a quart of 10W-40 motor oil. We do not recommend synthetic during the break-in period. Check using your dip stick until full. The rear transmission takes 80W 90 gear oil. There is an oil plug at the rear of the engine that looks similar to the CTV cover bolts. It is on the same side as the CVT cover bolts. Fill until oil comes out of the hole. Do not over fill.
Use a dremel tool to cut slots for a screw driver. Then use a screw driver to remove the screws. The second method is to use the dremel to cut off the head of the screw. One you remove the bowl you than then use needle nose grip pliers to remove the screw. If you don’t have replacement screws get a used carb here..
You likely need a new gas tank. Look inside of your gas tank with a flash light (do not use a match as some have done). If you see corrosion and junk floating around time for a new tank. You likely also will need a new gas filter.
You may have a leak in your intake. If your vehicle is several years old the intake may have dryrotted and have cracks it is. While idling spray some starter fluid around the intake. If it the revs up then you are sucking in air though cracks and the engine is getting too much air and causing the bog down.
Likely your CVT belt broke and you need to replace it. If your CVT cover is in a difficult location we recommend a PowerLink Belt. If the belt is easy to change we recommend the standard belt.
Look at your CVT cover at the top. Do you have two or three bolts in the center at the top. Three bolts is a long case and two bolts is a short case.
Your sales person or their website lied. There is no such thing as a 200cc GY6 engine. You have a 169cc engine which could be rounded to say 170cc. Sellers do this so that you think you are getting more HP than the seller who is honestly listing the same vehicle as 170cc.
