I've got a bone stock 1966 Vespa Sears (Primavera). A local guy has a 19/19 carb for sale and I'm wondering what sort of a starting place that is for a...
Quite frankly, mixing @ a rate more than 50/1 would be advised on all tuned smallframes. A properly tuned smallframe Vespa are much happier @ 40/1. If you are...
a 19mm carb would help and to my knowledge, there are no performance exhausts or expansion chambers that allow a quick tire change. on the other hand, the pm...
Christian. Here are few things to take into consideration (we have had a lot of experience w/ similar smallframe set-ups over the years)... 1. 25 mm Dell Orto?...
Hehe. I had a reversed situation. I knew I was low on gas, but didn't have any oil on me so I blew past a gas station thinking I could make it home. I...
Both the Polini and the Leo Vinci (others?) are held on by a spring and one bolt. You don't have to remove the bolt, just loosen it. Hard to imagine a faster...
Maybe it is the oil? The 40:1 chainsaw gas has quaker state chainsaw grade oil in it. I filled the tank with fresh gas at 50:1 with Motul synthetic oil and...
I agree that If you want a low end go back to Polini/19mm carb combination, down-and-forward is a good reference site if you are running a Polini kit, however...
Is is a bluebadge? Have a picture of it? I think it already has a 19mm in it Polini pipe and a Polini top end is the best $$ to HP ratio! This combo will be a...
... I'm missing the clasp that holds the muffler to the expansion chamber, as well as the two big thick rubber insulator washers that go between the expansion...
It is a blue badge - but it does have a 16/16 carb. The engine number doesn't match the frame number though, so who knows... Scooterhelp says that 1966 Vespa...
When I got mine it had a 19mm, the carb looks stock so I just assumed... Also It had a Pollini Top end/pipe combo, and it is pretty fast, anything better than...
I have a 100 sport engine in my garage. It's disassembled right now, but I'm planning on rebuilding it. It has a 3speed in it, but I could replace it with a...
My bearing/seals guy is yelling that everybody should spend the couple bucks extra on Viton versus Nitril material seals. Who is using Viton? Hand check. ...
SIP seems to have both. What should I consider when choosing between the hard and the soft compound ? The bike is not intend for race, just fun, quart-miles...
... couple bucks extra on Viton versus Nitril material seals. Who is using Viton? Hand check. ever heard of a sales person that does NOT yell that everybody...
... between the ... go for the "soft" compound. i have these on my track-racer, while i have the "hard" compound on my road-going ss50. i can't really tell if...
... I do! Well, not really intentionally but the poor old Galvatron has eaten pavement more times than it's ever wanted to! ... we found the same thing with...
So… Should I follow schwalbe engineer advice, i.e one soft compound tyre at the front and one hard at the back ? Or get only soft compound as you mentioned...
IMHO always go for the softer. generally softer tires tend to give a better grip and exhibit more predictable handling across a wider variety of weather...
PPG DAU-75 is said to be for clearcoating polished aluminum. Until this product, putting clear on bare, polished aluminum was taking a big risk and creating a...
