Hi John, Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Will the Pk125 crank fit the same seals and bearings as the pk50... Cheers, Ez John Collier <jbcollier@...>...
There are three different PK125 cranks: small taper (19) small bearing (20) large taper (20) small bearing (20) large taper (20) larger bearing (24) All the...
My '67 50cc stopped running and everything seems to be set ok but I haven't taken off the cover to check the timing. What would make the timing go off? It was...
Your condenser could have gone bad, the points might be corroded, or the woodruff key might have sheared if you had the flywheel off then put it back on...
so I could flip through the 1200 members of this group, but I'm lazy. Anyone have Jim's email (aka the smallframe guru who used to work for Scomo) ?? Thanks!...
Scott: I'm getting a nice solid spark so I'd guess the condenser is OK and the points are OK. The timing may have gone off and that is the only thing I can...
Hi! I'm working on reinstalling a new wiring harness into my '66 Allstate. Wondering if there is a special tool or any useful tips to thread it through the...
I did this on my 50 special, wasn't too bad. start at front under horn and use old harness to pull new one back through frame tunnel, then remove headset and...
Hi Jason, Thanks for your advice. Sadly, the previous wiring harness broke when we pulled it out. The casing in one area was such hard plastic it got caught up...
Since you don't have the original harness to use try to get your hands on a electricians "fish tape", you can buy them at hardware stores, but they are a bit...
Hi Jason, Thanks again. The 'fish tape' term is what I think I had been looking for. They start at $10.00 at Harbor freight, btw. Not the best quality, but...
Hi guys, I'm just wondering how to get my carb so it mounts outside of the engine bay side of the vespa. I'm running a malossi 135 port-matched kit, with the...
hi all, i have my frame stripped down for painting. i'm wondering if anyone has any advice on getting the channels down the edge of the legshields/floorboards...
usually it's lotsa hammer and dolly work...tho you could bend up a section of 8mm or 10mm steel rod to follow the legshields, clamp it in place, and use that...
Happy to announce...Success! The fish tape worked really well. Thank you for that tip! I would recommend some patience and enough time to do this job and with...
yes! Vespa 50 Special Revival (Limited to 3000 Italy-only numbered units, released in 1991) I've never seen one, though. The Japan connection is that up to the...
Hi All, Ive just got hold of an ss90 thats been in storage since 1973 and was only registerd in late 68.It still has its dealer stickers and 'By royal...
Hi, I just ran across this group and I had to join out of the love of the smallframe vespa. I own a 1964 v90 and a 1965 v50. The question I have is that the...

cheers, yeah i thought i'd have to just bang it back into shape. I've found a piece rod which looks about the right size, so we'll see :) o ... section of 8mm...
I am afraid Super SIP can't easily help out early smallframe owners. The piston spigot size is smaller so the kits won't fit without machining the cases. Also...
It seems nowhere on the planet sells the springs to hold in a 50 special headlight bezel, not even the mighty SIP, I'm doomed to have my headlight pointing to...
Dunno what kind of spring you need but any hobby shop sells piano wire which you can bend into the required shape. Conical springs in various sizes and lengths...
