It took a couple of weeks but I finally got my 2005 et2 back up and running. New fuel tap, lines and dellorto carburetor and it's running like a champ! Bought it new for my wife in 2005. Currently has 322 miles on it!

It is a sacrilege to leave a scooter on a storage for 8 years Facepalm emoticon . There is only one way to pay for your sin: Ride it!!! ROFL emoticon . Now seriously, your scooter seems to be in perfect shape and the weather looks very promising. Put some miles and smiles and get back to us in a few weeks with pictures. Good luck and thanks for sharing!! she looks fantastic.

That looks lovely - nice to see a mint example.

What side stand is that? Looks tempting.

Thanks. It is mint other than a scratch on the side.
IDK about the side stand. It's been in there for years.

Keep your eye on the mat as it will take the paint off as it did on my ET.

Yes. I'm having a hard time finding a matching pair in the et2 sizes. Any ideas?

Only the usual, for example: brake fluid change.
