I admit I didn't use a torque wrench, but I know for a fact that I am putting more than 62 lbs on it. I will get my hands on a torque wrench when I redo it,...
Hi, hope someone can help. Just fitted a new clutch to a primavera - standard 3 plate spec with new standard spring. Engine is reassembled but it won't turn,...
Thanks all. I tried to just sand down some of the metal, as opposed to cutting off the fin. In the end, it was best to just cut the fin off. Thanks! Chip...
Ok, I have a very stupid question on timing. I just installed a new Malossi 135 kit for my VMA1 ('66 Sears Smallframe). Now, I know the timing BTDC should be...
Ok, so I went down and bought a torque wrench, put the new woodruff key in my crank, aligned the clutch and started tightening the nut. Got to about 45 lbs and...

Well, there are not many of us here, but I'm up in the NW corner of the state. I've found two other vintage vespa owners in the area, but they are not "Vespa...
you can use the one side of a gs160 to make the PK rims wider overall. I really don't want to do that in the front as it off sets the wheel a bit. ... From:...
Hi there, Just starting to decide what to do with my 50 special engine, I'd like a setup which can cope going two up and still keep up with bigger scoots if I...
but if youre doing it at the back only, are you not putting the wheels out of line anyway? i've put 90/90 tyres on mine, but theres very little clearance ...
yes that is correct about the tires being off but why make both off? Certainly there's a rim set with the correct offset? Maybe off of a px? It seems I have...
A genuine 60 mph/100kph two up is a tall order for any scoot. 50 mph/80 kph would be a more realistic goal. On my kitted smallframe I am absolutely burying the...
Thanks for the reply, I realise these type of questions have been asked hundreds of times; I've tried to read through old posts as much as I can though! Ah...
12v doesn't make much of a differnece unless you are going to an HO stator. Though 12v bulbs are easier to source. It's the exhaust that makes the two stroke...
Because making both of them off makes them right. Having proper tracking with the tires in line with each other provides for better control as well as proper...
i was reading through past messages and saw something about using a lml stator with a pk rotor. Could the person who posted this give me some details ie, is it...
Quick one, is the later smallframe flywheel puller tool the same size as the PX tool? (Need a tool for my 1980 50 special and not sure which one to buy/borrow...
So the engine is finally in and, lo and behold, once everything was torqued down nicely there was no movement. Runs beautifully and is pretty damn peppy. Now...
Ok, Just about to purchase these items, does it look like a fairly good setup, obviously not going to be blistering speed but hoping for just a tad more than a...
Hi, I m inquiring for a friend as I am no more into tuning,,,,and hardly into vespas anymore. I used to have a full tuned m,alossi135 kit and the whole...
Ok... this is where I have arrived at: I have a head light and tail light, and a horn. I can't seem to find a way to make the brake light not ground the...
