Good afternoon! Can anyone recommend a good classic Vespa mechanic for my 1966 SS180? I live in the San Fernando Valley. My scooter is very difficult to start and once started it will not idle unless I keep the throttle open.

You should post this in the Not-so Modern section as well. I could move it there, but then you'd miss out on recommendations from the more General population.
