Dont know that model but that doesnt mean much. In general though, most stock Vespas are around 24* BTDC. Try that for starters.

33 degrees before TDC.

Enjoy the power of the 1-port engine. probably will not be any tarmac left on the road once you get it setup and running.

you need to measure the inner diameter of your original fan, as you will bolt that onto the ignition hub.

this one is 98mm
