Hi all, I'm new to the group and have just bought a SS 180 project....it's not in bad shape, but one thing it does have is a rally seat on it, instead of an SS...
the SS and GS 160 seat are only for them. I'd call either S-works or Vespa Supershop to see if they have any laying around, or just ask this list. Robert ... ...
Brad, Robert's suggestions were good ones. You may also want to try posting on the spam baord at scooterbbs.com. I have been able to find some stuff there as...
Rob and Trace, thanks, I'll be on the lookout for a GS 160 seat then if I can't find an SS. I suppose I could drop in a normal sized tank and use a sprint...
Yeah, the VSC seat frame is a little more coffin shaped than the VSB seat. In any case, they're getting scarce. I wouldn't be too self-conscious about putting...
Er, um, heh...it is a little bit more complex than that. The reason those models needed a special seat, was to accommodate a different tank. The tank wasn't...
This one really has me scratching my head. I'm systematically going through my electrical system, and I'm not done yet, but perhaps someone has experienced ...
Tom, Your problems make my timing issue seem so tame. I have no theories just yet, but I would start checking voltages at different places. Like, what is the...
Echh... I hate electrical... Well, I think you can rule out no. 3 at least, because if it was a bad condenser, the problems wouldn't be isolated to the lights,...
Mr. Kopf, Although in the past you have had some pretty silly theories, i.e. the superiority of the SS180 over the GS160 for example, I don't think that your...
I have another theory: All brontosauruses are thin at one end, get bigger in the middle, and then thin out at the the other end. This is my theory, which is...
ehem, ehem. I thought I was the only one in the world who remembered Ann Elk! ... bigger in the middle, and then thin out at the the other end. This is my...
In addition to the magnetism theory, I would also look at the magneto coils themselves. They can go bad. When they do, you will experience low outputs...
Hey guys, I agree with the fellas you might have a problem with the coil or magnet on the flywheel, I was also thinking that the actual ignition switch could...
By the way if Ill be around all weekend if you have questions or my post did not make any sense. Carlos ... if ... system ... controls ... the ... contacting ...
This thing needs minor body work then paint. Then of course reassembly. I have a title. Tons of new and extra parts. Original reconditioned Crank. New Piston...
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Some more facts. I have already had the flywheel remagnetized, thinking it might be part of the problem. No difference....
Tom, I am lazy and always start my troubleshooting at the easiest and cleanest area. So, I would focus on the handlebar components. The documentation I have is...
. . . . the headlight bulb. Boy am I embarrased! The bulb tested fine for continuity, so I figured it was ok. I've never come across one that developed a...
Hi-- I have a GS 160 mk. I for sale. It's complete except for the kickstart lever. It's not frozen, but I'm not sure if it runs since I've never had it in a...
Tom, A question about your remaining problem... Does this behavior occur when the switch is in the lights off position? My bike did this yesterday and the ...
I'm looking for a few parts for my GS160/SS180 engine. I'm looking for: Flywheel with fan Air box top and bottom (MK2/SS style) Rear Hub I appreciate any help...
Mike, I did get your Heinkel MHM Spam, but there is just no way. Sorry. My ignition problem was the same whether lights were on or off. Battery registered...
Hi trace i can help you out i have the flywheel fan with the centre and carb box top and bottom which i will sell as they are spares from my SS.Where are you...
Damo, I'm in the US. On Long Island in NY. Any idea what it would cost to ship this far? As for payment, do you accept PayPal? How would that be best to...
Hi Trace i will find out how much to send to you and will be in touch later in the week i do have a paypal account but i have never recieved money through it...
I already found the flywheel and hub. I'm still interested in the carb box though. Sorry, I don't have the junction box either. Let me know on the airbox....
