Definitely a 2 stroke electric start.

I bought it from the guy who bought it from the dealer, but he?s pretty clueless, but a nice guy.
The VIN is VTRECH2C2DG400063
Model on title says GG-E3013
Engine says EC30 by shifter, which prompted my confusion, as well as some off parts that came with it in a box from the dealer that says XC300 demo.
It will be important when I have to do the top end.

Thanks in advance

Rob,
I'm not good with the VIN of "newer" model Gassers, so I don't want to give you any bad info on the VIN.
However, I can assist you with a bit of information concerning your bike.
The 250 and 300cc GasGas engines are identical, except for the cylinder, piston & rings, and the cylinder head. (Don't let the markings on the bottom end of the motor confuse you.)
An example: When I got my 2006 DE300, the importer had already sold the bike I ordered, so they sent me a 2006 DE250 with an additional 300cc top end. (The DE was a specially equipped EC model imported to the US for a year or two.) I dismantled the new bike's top end and exchanged the still new 250 top end for the 300c top end; and shipped the 250 top end to the importer.
