Ok Here is the situation, I have a polini 75 on. I have port the engine as much as it takes and also open a 3rd port to much it with polini cylinder ports,...
Hey everyone, I bought this fully restored Vespa a little while ago and it's my first scooter. Bought it without really knowing how special that model is and...
Oh yeah, and I should point out that if I start it really soon after shutting it down it's okay. Not great, but it starts with the kick. The problem is when...
Problem solved. i took apart again the carb and the choke inlet was blocked with tissue paper all the way in, so i remove it and clean it and now engine...
Yeah, it runs perfectly fine. That's what has me all confused about this. And it always takes two runs to start it. The first one never works, second one...
For sure. They offered to fix it once and it wasn't really fixed. I have no doubts they'd continue to work on it for as long as it takes because they're very...
My first guess on the hot starting problem is a bad condenser. My Mom had the exact same problem on her 100 Sport. She would start it up, ride somewhere, hang...
I fixed a very similar problem on mine by changing the sparkplug for a cooler running one. In my case, it would conk out at the traffic lights if I stopped...
Hi Does anybody have any ideas where I can get a 100 sport fuel tap I cant seem to find one on any of the ordanary sites. Any help would be great many thanks...
You can switch to a standard tap with this conversion kit: http://www.scooterwest.com/item_detail/Vintage-Vespa-P-Series-Euro- Rod-Kit-For-USA-Type/2594/ ...
I hope not on the air leak too, Shawn. Haha. The plus is that I live in Canada, so I have a lonnnnnnnnggggg winter where I can't ride anyway to twiddle with...
Right on. I'll give this one a shot first because it's cheap and easy to do. Then I'll move on and try the condenser, as Shawn suggested. Thanks for the...
I realize that this is not a small frame engine but maybe someone can give me a little info anyhow. I have a 125cc VNB5M from the early '60's that I'm...
i've worked on aircooled vws for over 10 yrs, but not too many scoots (just recently got into the scoot scene), but motors are motors. it sounds to me like you...
20/20 and a VBB top end will run like poop...carb too big for that jug. 17/17 or 20/17. 20/20 is better with a "more modern" 150 top end... how much do you...
something else that's often overlooked is the fuel line...it's length, how it's routed. evaporation of the fuel in the line or vacuum blockages in the line...
Actually, the fuel line came to mind as well. Because for all of that cranking, with either the choke on or off, you'd think the plug would get wet, but it...
Oh yeah, now you've got me thinking. I wonder if the little vent on the cap is plugged and it's creating a vacuum at the top of the tank that's not letting the...
