Well you do have Boston Scoot in Billerica. And I would advise you to never buy a Lambretta as a 1st bike. Only as a second bike. Enjoy, John M. Stafford ... ...
Thanks, John. I've tried calling Boston Scoot (disconnected) & emailing (no response) so I'm not sure if they're still in business. I remember talking with the...

I feel that learning to shift a manual shift scooter such as the vintage Lambrettas and Vespas luckily involves a good deal of transfer of skills from (and to)...

Hey all, I found a Kymco 2000 with 480 miles. It seems really good, but I'm worried that sitting for so long might have caused internal rust. Tomorrow I'm...
It's also more dangerous to drive slower than surrounding traffic. More accidents are caused by folks going under the speed limit than over it. Maybe a blower...
I just upgraded my vespa et2 with a new malossi dellorto 17.5 carb, 70cc cylinder kit, and sito plus exhaust. performance is great so far, when it's running,...
Kymco makes a dozen models of scooters, which one are you looking at? FYI motor internals don't rust unless they sit underwater. Metal gas tanks do rust and...
2T motors dont take well to blower systems unles a lot of comlicated porting is done. The fresh fuel charge will just blow out the exhaust when the two ports...
It took me about 10 minutes to get the hang of the Vespa Hand shift. It`s really easy. Grab and turn. Give the engine a good twist of throttle when engaging,...
Maybe that's what it is, I'm not sure. when I try to kickstart it, it takes about 5 or 6 good ones to get it going. I still think it's the carb autochoke...

I have been looking into this mod for my ET2. I was told that the autochoke does not work with the carborator you installed. The Vespa shop here was working...
Sure it happens to 30 year old motors, but it would have to be mighty humid for a bike to freeze up after only two years. Enjoy, John M. Stafford From: Richard...
Got it, thanks, though I thought my Vespa hadn't sat for a whole lot longer than 2 years. Illinois does get like the rain forest tropics in August - usually. ...
