Hi all, First post here so please be kind! I'm looking to get the engine on my GS150 (VS5) rebuilt & as I'm hopeless with a spanner does anyone have any...
Scooterworks in Waterloo. The only place! Mention my name to Craig, the owner. That should make him laugh, if nothing else? They have all of the tools and a...
Thanks Dave. I was considering using Scooterworks as the workshop in Bermondsey is only about 5 minutes from me (although I did give the said scooter to him...
Should it return? I can find both yes & no kind of answers on the net? Thanks a lot! _________________________________________________________________ i’m is...
Yes- there is a spring inside the carb. Useful for if your throttle cable snaps. I find a very slow return good as you need to indicate manually, and it's best...
Hmmn, the spring is there so the throttle does close as the cable returns, maybe I need to double check there no overspray in the head set causing it to stick....
Thought A photo might be appreciated with the questions! _________________________________________________________________ Get the power of Windows + Web with...
Thought that might be the case? Most old two-strokes refuse to start because the main oil seals have gone, so by taking an old scooter to a shop, maybe, can't...
MOT failure in the UK if it doesn't! Dave ... From: "Julian O'Neale" <julian_oneale@...> To: <vespa-sports@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, January...
It's funny: here in Switzerland it has been admitted by those who control our scooters (equivalent to your MOT) that throttle should not return on our old...

Well, I have mine setup so it JUST stays put unless I move it and I find that it works well like that as a sort of cruise control, just set it and forget it....
Is there any trick to install the rubber rings in place? Missing parts arrived and I tried to re-assemble the trailing link. I've found that it is very...
Yes, the UK MOT test is very much an 'over the top' thing.... You can fail the test if your seat doesn't lock, for instance. The tester also doesn't like the...
Thanks for the offer Dave - that's very generous of you. I'd love to do the work myself but I'm sure it's beyond my capabilities. I'll see how Craig gets on...
My bike clocks a little under the 2400 miles, since I installed my new piston, and I am still enjoying my new year holidays, so it's good time to decoke my...
Does anyone know if the VS5 aftermarket seat covers will fit a VS4 seat frame? Is the only real difference in the aesthetics (color, Piping etc) ? Or is the...

Hey Julian, what is the color? Pale-turquoise? It reminds me that I once had a turquoise Primavera about a decade ago. :-) It seems the minimum functions of...
Bill, I guess the photo is what you need. http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/vespa-sports/photos/browse/9a9d?c= The seat cover #83778 is for VS2 and...
Hello all, Anybody here know what rear and/or front rack that can be use on my GS160? Like a picture or a link of a website? The front rack usually is Ulma and...
All currently available front racks will fit. Mark 1's have a problem with access to the rear 'butty box' (Tool box only suitable for a round of sandwiches!)....
