Default Restoring a Chinese Quad

I only just joined the connection, mostly because there is a serious lack of support for ATV owners where I live (That would be Pakistan). A few days ago I purchased a used Chinese 110cc quad, it's in decent running condition, and a steal at $280. The engine is smooth, just some issues with worn out bearings and old rusty washers. The paint is faded and the body has a little rust damage.

So basically I took the whole thing apart today and I intend to make it brand spanking new. I'll keep uploading pictures to show everyone the progress, any feedback/advice would be much appreciated.

Also, if anyone has an idea as to what brand this is etc.

Here it is:

Is it really a 110cc? Never seen a 110cc with a CVT.. most GY6 style engines are 150cc and larger. Very cool if it is a 110cc with a CVT on it.. no clue who made it though.. Looking forward to more pics..

Looks like a Dinli to me. My wife, now my sons, has a 90cc. Plastics looks very similar.

@mywifesquad Upon closer inspection, I've realised it is a 150cc. The person who I bought it from claimed so, but to me it felt a bit slow which is why I assumed it was a smaller engine. Here are some close ups of the engine and carburetor:

I also have two more Chinese quads. The red one is great, it's 125cc manual, so it's very very quick off the line. The orange one is the runt of the litter, I hardly ever use it. These boys are next in line for complete restoration.

The red one looks like a 200cc or 250 cc. Is it a 4 speed fwd with reverse?

You going to be doing a frame up resto?

Again, the person claimed the red one to be a 250cc. And again I suppose you are right. The local motorcycle mechanic I showed it to claimed it was the same 125cc engine as some of the Chinese motorcycles being sold here. Guess he was wrong. And yes, 4 forward 1 reverse.

Also I'm new to this restoration stuff, what do you mean when you say 'doing a frame up resto'? Basically I've stripped it down to the frame, gonna repaint and fit new parts where necessary.

Then its either a 200 or 250.. both of mine had 4 fwd 1 rev..

Thats a frame up resto. Starting with the frame and refinishing or replacing whats bad on its way back together.
