What the number itself says

Reading 8CTRX.150GA1 left to right: 8 is the model-year letter for 2008, CTR is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Carter Brothers Manufacture as certificate holder, X marks an off-road certification, .150 is the displacement in litres, so 150cc and GA1 is Carter Brothers Manufacture's own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.
