Trying not to bore you with details, so here I go.
I picked up a 1980 P200E when I was passing through Kansas City 2.5 years ago ($500). It did not run. But the price was right so I took it home to Jacksonville FL.
The last owner said it was running before he got it on a trade. He suggested it might be electrical issues. The Vespa is complete. I haven't yet worked on it. That time is about to start.
So the Question is; Whats the completion range for a good cylinder? The Vespa has about 10,100 miles on the odometer (which means nothing).
Thanks for the info.
