Modern Vespa

Yeah. Full on strip and clean of carb. Changed plug, plug cap, ht lead. Started fine like our was running fine. Acting the pox within 3 miles. Wound out the mixture screw half a turn. Seemed dead on. Same again within a mile. The bastard

cdi can cause carb like problems .....or it did on one of mine

Could be yeah. Does feel a bit like a low down missfire

been good all week rekon a few of these are deserve d Fridays

Enjoy that Josh. I had my first Coopers after getting home from 3 months abroad. Scoot started first kick.

Bout Fucking time. Old bigot

Cleaned carb. Changed plug, plug cap, cdi, ht lead. Still no joy. But because it was night I notice the lights are going off when it happens. Lights go on and off when I shake the bars. Do now I'm thinking there is a wire rubbing and shorting in the headset. Jaysis!!

Well that went way better than expected!

The Y axis on my mill is not large enough to move over the full width of the head, so I had to do one side at a time and flip it around half way through. I was worried about getting it lined back up.

^^ Nice! Will you be able to tell if it makes a difference?

Nope, since I didn't run it without modifying it.

you must of missed out on winter


pick up any funny accent guv?, penny for a shoe shine

some dick head at work has been wiping the mdf dust off me paint to have a look n scratched it ..... so bought some clear yesterday n today after 5hrs at work I stayed n polished em out n cleared all but the frame as I didnt have time to do it all ....... hope this helps

Still looks good from here B.. and getting dust off stuff is an art form.. should have sent him to me for advice.. I'm a pro. dust=BAD!


Dude, I can't wait to see this bike.. I'm starting to get jealous!

it was painted polished n put away but as I work in a joiners shop it got a layer of mdf dust ..... it needed blowing with an airline not wiping ..... it still needed to fully harden ......
its taking ages as I can do it when im not working but someone else is which is rare

dirty boy...... ohh turned the air mix a tiny tiny bit n its runnin waay better ..... why the hell does it feel the need to adjust its sen

That head looks great Patrick! nicely done!

thx jacko can we have a kiss n a cuddle??no homo....

lost a screw in my venturi. YES!!!! awesome sauce...

Think we can arrange that macker.

Damn, you're having a good week, aren't ya? This is the universe's way of saying slow to f**k down.

Took the vba for it's 1st run through the hills since I put pk fork conversion and rebuilt 210 malossi I must say the front end is amazing.i did 90kms trouble free except new bgm fuel tap doesn't work on reserve

And another

I had a BGM tap and the reserve light stopped working after a week.. The float just stopped floating.. I told Scooter Center about the problem and they sente a new one... Check with a flashlight and see if your float is actually floating..

Is that the Scooter Center Ancillotti seat? If so, you're the only other person I've ever seen with one..

Steam that's bloody beautiful. You gonna show it off at the National Rally?

Indeed it is Vader, my tap isn't the one with the reserve light it's there std fast flow I only changed from the sip one because the bgm version has a higher flow rate

Cheers bobo , I'm taking it to the national but I'm riding my lambretta there so the mrs is going to bring it up in the van and I'll ride it on the ride outs

While you were running? I did that with the vortex. It's bad for your motor.

Awesome scoot, steam!

Very tidy 8)

Looking good Ssteam177. You noticed that your speedo cable is coming out?

Vader gave me a tip for these conversions (which I still haven't done yet) and that's to substitute the SS180 speedo cable. It's shorter so you don't have that extra big loop sticking out.

See you at VH.

bit sporadic at the moment guys. Hows things. still no T5, got my eye on a couple again. A couple of you know the bad news I had, so aint been on. But like I said, Im all over it again...


like a tramp on chips

Good man marky. Glad to see you back.

Dito!

I'm looking forward to victor big time even more so now the vba is pretty much done for now, I'll try that different cable next time I order parts another mates does the same so I'll pass that tip on
We'll catch up for a beer in victor!!

Vader..Jacko...my boys. How's things?

Good Marky... Not sure how you'll feel but I'm building a lammy! Skelly. . Glad to see you brother and know you're doing well!

wicked..yeah all is good in d ahood now. Scotterless still, but they are getting cheaper. November is my time I think. Back to the 2 wheels. Need to dust off my jacket!
