Thanks for the responses on the fuel tap question. However, the two responses I received are contradictory. I have taken apart the fuel tap and I tend to...

have just at long last upgraded my 1975 50s with a polini 108 kit but my mechanic now tells me that it is not running properly in that it tends to put put at...
So I replaced the exhaust on my 1964 Vespa 90, reattached everything and realized I didn't tighten the rear brake cable. There's too much slack for the...
I'd adjust the adjusting screw all the way in....loosen the cable from the clamp...pull it tight (hold snug with a pair of pliers) & retighten. Make...
I had a look on Sunday - there doesn't seem to be any ware on the cam, or play. The drum seems to have a fair amount of wear though. Could it be that the...
yeah if the cam turns too far it'll get stuck, but we're talking a HUGE turn. you can find that over time, an un-lubed cam shaft will wear an oval shape into...
Gunk make a spray-on teflon number, like CRC and WD40 but my gawd is it slippery with all those liddle teflon balls...great stuff. CRC's white lithium spray...
What is seizing? You should remove the brake cam from the backing plate, clean it out and then apply light grease. If you have to do it every month then you...
I did remove it, clean it and lube it when I changed my shoes 6 months or so ago. I'll take another look and check for the problems TMC has mentioned. Thanks...
hI again sorry about the carb thing \i think i meant a 16/16 carb, well anyway it is the original that . does this make any difference to my engine not running...
Hi Scott, sadly I don't have an answer to your problem, but I was wondering how easy it was to fit your DR kit to an early 50? I have one set aside to do my...
I put a Polini 75 on my early 50, i just had to take it to the machine shop and have the cylinder milled down to fit the engine case, really easy about 60-70...
The Polini kit would have a come with a manual. In that manual would be jetting recommendations for various set-ups. I would think that you will need a 19/19...
a 19/19 carb isn't necessary, the 16/16 will give enough ooomph initially until you decide (if) on it's next tune-up... ideally you need to find a scooter (or...
Yes you're absolutely correct. My 16/16 carb works fine. Changed the main jet to a 68 which did come with the kit but had got hidden away under a flap in the...
Sounds like you just might have hit the "reserve" level in your tank, without expecting it. I know it's happend to me more than once. If there still looks to...
I'm thinking of buying a PK125s engine, and using the stator & flywheel for my project 50s that I'll be putting a Malossi 136 kit on. I read somewhere that the...
I did the groundwork in India on buying the APL PL170 factory remaining stock in Hyderabad about a year ago. The story was in Scootering a few months ago....
What's up Small Frames. Thanks preemptively for the help, looking forward to getting the old bird back on the road! Here's my deal: installing a 135 Malossi...
