Modern Vespa

Cruising on the freeway my P started to seize pulled clutch it released it what is going on ?

Thanks for the information.

PS Oil is fine checked yesterday.

T'is a soft seize there, you should keep an eye on it - some engines will recover and it may just be a one off, but I'd air on the side of caution and take a look at your top end when you can as it can be a problem that will resurface from time to time and a soft seize will generally score the cylinder so you may need a hone/rebore etc.

It's a problem linked to overheating, caused generally by caning the engine for long periods. Likewise it could be that there isn't enough 2 stroke oil getting through so check your plug colour

Do you have any mods on your P, like a performance exhaust, that might require re-tuning the carb, fitting a larger main jet?

Also check that your timing isn't too far advanced.

NO mod on my P stock as can be .I will check the head.

Thanks for the help.

Ditto on the plug check..

You should go a little richer on the mix screw on the back of your carb also.
Maybe a cooler plug ? I have a B7 in my p now. If you do a lot of highway runs maybe a cooler plug is the way to go.
