Modern Vespa

Short video of where things are now. Starts and runs fine. Sounds like a garbage can.

Honestly- doesn't sound so bad to me.
Idle jet sounds a little rich - sluggish when you open throttle.

You want it to go back to idle quickly - which having it rich enough helps - but u don't want it to be boggy as you rev.

There is a little slapping or ringing sound.
Hard to know what that is if anything.

Also - helpful if it's warm before u shoot the vid!
Cold engine noise doesn't count…
🙂

I've noticed vape kits do have more of a rattle sound to them than other ignitions. Why? Beats me.

Yours sounds pretty normal though.

Yep, that's more or less what they sound like.

Thanks all. It's been a learning experience certainly. Just wanted to make sure.

DR 177 kits are noisy when cold. They can aslo sound a bit noisy at WOT 60mph plus too. I dont hear anything odd about yours, it sounds normal.
