Can you order a new carb.
Harry, what an interesting question!
I realize I don't even know what I don't know about the Vespa world.
Today I rode my Vespa with the Chinese carb.
Started right up and ran perfectly.
So what if I do nothing??
How long does this sweet running machine last? How much warning do I have? Does it slowly stop running well or fail precipitously? Am I days, weeks, months or years away from carb collapse? How long does a $25 carb stay lovely?
And then what? Do I just have a new $200 Keihin waiting on the shelf?
And how much trouble is the swap? Can I do it in an hour? Will the Keihin work with no adjustments? Or will I spends days trying to unravel the secrets? Or perhaps pay an expert to tune magically?
To say nothing of the options if the original Keihin shows up in the post.
There is one thing I like about my lovely red Vespa of today. I turn the key and she starts. Always has.
Help me keep that going.
Thanks all.
