What the number itself says

Reading PMCIX.391XY3 left to right: P is the model-year letter for 2023, MCI is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Mars Carts as certificate holder, X marks an off-road certification, .391 is the displacement in litres, so 391cc and XY3 is Mars Carts' own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.

The engine, as described on the certificate

The test vehicle Mars Carts submitted for this family (model XY450U-B) carried engine code XY182MQ. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 82 mm bore, MQ series.

The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by sequential multi-port fuel injection, with an oxygen sensor for closed-loop fuelling, run by an engine control module (ECM). There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "Three Way Catalyst (TWC), single-bed, closed-loop warm up".

Rated power on the record is 19 kW (about 25 hp) at 6,500 rpm, driving through a CVT (belt and variator).

A shared code from the same factory is a strong search lead. From a different factory it is as often a naming coincidence. Either way it narrows the search; it does not settle it — measure before you buy.
