Jincheng JC50 intake valve

[WeBeGone]

I am having a heck of a time locating an intake valve for my Jincheng 50cc Monkey Bike with a horizontal engine (mine was bent)....Any links or suggestions?

Dear WeBeGone,

Greetings and welcome to the forum. Is there no support from your dealer, or perhaps this bike came from an online retailer with no service? These parts are easily available in taobao.com, but to search you need help with Chinese, which I'm guessing you don't have. Try this: browse to www.taobaofocus.com, and type in the name of the part you are looking for in the translation window on the right. The translation will appear in the taobao search box below that. They'll find it in taobao, and quote back to you the price plus their shipping and handling fees. Because these parts are small and light, they should not be expensive to obtain in this manner.

Here's a link for a search I just did for Jincheng intake valve in Chinese. Do you see what you need in there? If you use Google's Chrome browser, it will offer to translate the entire page for you. Translations are not always pretty, but usually do the trick.

Oh, and the unwritten rule in MCM is that without pictures, your bike doesn't exist. Vaporbike. There. Now it's a written rule!

Good luck!

JC50 are based from '78 model http://www.moto8.net/thread-77245-1-1.html
Genuine parts from JC + KOK seal http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10662398973 According to that page, it seems some <90cc valve that based on horizontal Honda also fits.
Measure & compare. 5.5 or 5.0 ??? http://www.tkrj.co.jp/product/m-engine-valve.html. http://www.ycpiston.com.tw/p5-11.html
