I've been too busy with my 1-port mind to see this-

Goodbye Pinasco 177 is all i have to say.

not a new cylinder, per se. but nice to see a bolt-on cylinder for unmodified 2-port, LF, engines. $293 vs. $330; Pinasco and BGM, respectively.

I have one of those Parmakit sets but haven't put that engine together yet. Nice to see another option.

Thanks for thinking about me, Scott, but yellow's one of the late model Supers with a 3-port. And it's not going anywhere without a new ignition.

Beejeezus.

The variety, choice of very modern high quality upgrades for old Vespas is as im pressive as it was unimaginable when emission regulations stopped Piaggio making 2-strokes.

Several of you enthusiasts here have been at it with NSM since last century and you all must be awed by these new kit. By the development efforts that are put in these at that time written off tech.
Whát a (marvellous) turn around Clap emoticon

I like that it has a spot for the temp gauge already.

I'd say 99% odds yes, especially it looks to be a 2port version of the 3 port 177. Head looks exactly the same in the pictures.

It is exactly the same. It's simply machined on the bottom and comes with a base plate to cover the 3rd port. That is what makes is p&p.
