Hey Rick,
Its sounds like you baught mine with the same problems. I have the 800cc Roketa also. It does take a while to brake in the motor. Probably about thirty hours. After the first hour my ignition also died. Once I fixed it, it still ran rough for quite a while. It sounds like the Ignition module inside the distributor. All of the parts from this buggy come from a 1987 Chevy Sprint Import. Local auto parts should have all the parts. Make sure you strap your rear shocks with 21" straps or you will have major problems. About the trani. I know of about 3-4 places the sell the Lower ratio trani.
Venom Motors?, Awesome Buggy( in stock), Unleashed Motorsports(in stock).
good luck Joe

Joe you might want to check your source on the engine info for the Roketa's. IT is not a chevy sprint or a suzuki swift engine. It is a toyota block and a suzuki head. It was sold in China "ONLY" in a car that slips my memary rite now.
No american parts will fit this engine. It was never exported from China. Hours of research have led me to know who and where these are made. Your best bet for parts is to call Roketa in Onterio California (909)975-4488 ext. 207 and talk to Toby , he has helped me alought with my GK-D32. Good luck , Greg

whats up everyone, I have been looking at the roketa 800cc 4 seater for my wife as an alternative to the jacked up unstable golf carts, and stumbled across this site, the one we have been looking at, as it was told to me is a geo metro 3 cyl, we drove it and it seems very fun to drive (although the shifter seems to need some brass bushings or short shift kit really sloppy) I am a BMW master Tech so I am familar with a wrench and not afraid to get my hands dirty with this thing, does anyone have the 4 seater and if so what are the known problems, or are they pretty much the same as the 2 seaters?

thanks I will check it out there is a guy here in town that has the blue one and as a I said we drove it and had a great time in it, but its primary use would be a grocery getter/ get the kids to school type of thing and I didnt feel comfortable in the jacked up golf cart (are they really designed to do that?) they just felt way to tippy, so the owner of the shop worked us a hell of a price so I am difinatly considering it, I think however we will get a second set of rims and put street tires on it until it is ready to go off roading, anyhow I will check out his site Thanks John
