I just bought a NB50 aka "Melody Deluxe" and was wondering what you all thought about what I should do. Whether I should part it out or fix it. It currently isn't running and may need a complete engine teardown and rebuild without knowing anything at this moment. The PO said he had changed the cylinders a few times already and he thought it may need the same. But I'm thinking this guy didn't know what he was doing and I may blow another cylinder and piston if I don't check the crankshaft, crankcase, etc. Would be really interested in what you all think!

If I own it, I like to see them run. However I do own 2 Aero 125 parts bikes so that I have a supply of parts for my other 3 Aero 125 but I do not habitually sell parts off the parts bikes. I might need them some day. Besides that the Aero 50 is a fun scooter to ride, even stock or near stock.
