Hi jeb
Unfortunately the WC-1 engine is a problem. The valve seats were pressed into the cylinder instead of cast in place like the 2005 and later engines. It is a pretty sure bet that the valve seats will loosen up and fail. Usually at around 500 miles or so. There are still some upgrade parts available but they are getting harder to find as they are no longer being made. If you do have a Cruzzer it is still all Whizzer as far as the parts are concerned. I have a 2000 Cruzzer but I still call it a Whizzer. They were made by the same mfg in Taiwan. Any other questions just ask. We have a couple very knowledgeable Whizzer experts here.

Vin Plate

Hi again.
You should have a Vin Plate next to the key switch on the neck. Here is a picture. It will have the date of mfg.
As far as upgrade parts. Quenton Guenther may still have some. He is a member here. Send him a private message and I'm sure he will help you.
