Cool license plate frame , Scott was a really nice guy . John works for Greg Clauss now . Scooterville was a good time the Rose parade rallies were #1 of all time .

Will send Bass the plate, and Old Scoot the frame. PM me your mailing info.

Looking for engine rebuild tools for vbb. Will buy, borrow or accept with gratitude.

I'm back and in need.

Does anyone have a 20/20 carb for my '59 VBA?

Thanks

Quasi-moto... The plate arrived, just in time for Xmas.
If I can repay you somehow let me know.
Aust or NZ scoots are my specialty
Cheers for th awesome plate, to be seen on roads nowhere near you soon

Glad you got it! No repayment necessary.

I need a ring compressor for a 64 mm. cylinder. I'd be glad to pay for shipping both ways if someone has one to loan.

Lacking the compressor, I'd be glad for any advice on sliding the cylinder over the piston without breaking a ring. I've tried once and broke the second ring. Now having to find a place to sell me only the ring set for a Pinasco 177 upgrade kit for my 150 Super.

I should have left well enough alone.

I've been precisely there! Broke maybe 3 top rings... and no suppliers locally. I bought one set from Scooter-Center but the postage was 29 euro from memory! I had no trouble finding a ring compressor however that goes down to that size in a regular auto parts store.

Just had a look and I have 3 bottom rings, so you are welcome to one if you promise not to break it! I'll pay normal postage unless you'd like it express or registered or whatever. PM me.

are they clipped into the right spot on the piston?






if your still having trouble try a big hose clamp

Just my personal, but I've found compressors to be more dangerous than helpful.. Make sure the gaps are at the ring locators, lube with 2T and use your fingertips and fingernails... If necessary I put the barrel up against my chest so I can have two hands and several fingertips compressing the ring as your strong, heaving chest pushes the cylinder over the rings one at a time...

If you've tried the Barrel Chested mehtod (I just made that up on the spot! ) and it hasn't worked... I don't know what to say except good luck with a compressor, but I've not used one in forever..

If you have to mark the side of the piston w/ a sharpie to help you see the locating pins, just remember: sharpie stands for fun! and Amity MEANS friendship!

Haven't had to use a compressor except on the Pinasco. Just need to make sure the bit where the compressor overlaps itself is opposite the ring gap.

i use fingers too but thought id edit that out incase of super springy pinasco something that i aint never seen before in the whole of my life until this time today in the afternoon time today

Many thanks for advice, and special thanks to Ginch for offer of second ring. I PM'd him.

I have a rear rack for a smallie, in black. CONUS only, you pay shipping and it's yours.

Q

If you still have the rack, I'd love it. Live in upland, CA

If you have the rack still, I'd love it. Live in Upland, CA. Sorry if this message was already sent. My phone is acting up.

Sold on ebay by Scooterworks.

ET3 top end - cylinder piston, rings, etc. No head. Clearance is tight at 0.001", so you need to hone or have it honed.

Make me an offer that includes paying for shipping and a pittance of cash or maybe trade?? Carb bigger than 19.19, maybe some fresh brake shoes for the rear hub, or a rear rack for the smallie.

Hello all,
Great post!
I'm looking for the jets cover model '90' for Dell'Orto SI 20/17 without hole, as circled in red in picture.
Please let me know if you have it.
Thank you!

Anyone holding a 24/24 si carb, not auto lune that they'd be willing to part with? About to buy a kit and would like to upgrade the carb as well.

17.5mm Dellorto Carb for my ET2!

Anyone have handy lying around there garage/shed/dining room/kitchen/lounge/bedroom/bathroom/driveway/hall?

This Blue Plate is now happily in Australia, and I was recently chatting to Fabio, who imported a blue badge, and he mentioned that it is th CORRECT plate for his bike, so I will pass it onto him, as he has helped me with my "missing" parts from Italy, & it will be nice to see it on th correct scoot (better than on my wall)

ET3 top end is no longer available.

I have a pair of First Gear leather riding pants that I no longer use. They are size 38 waist X 34 length. (The length could easily be shortened by cutting off as they are not hemmed at the cuff.) The only mark on them is a "kiss" from where my rump hit the pavement in a very low speed slide-out. I'd be glad to mail them at my cost to anyone who is willing to give $25 to a food pantry in his/her area that serves low income folks. Honor system at work here.

Any takers? PM me if you are.

We're looking for a tail light assembly with lens, for a Super/sprint.

Let me know if anyone has one they are willing to part with

Thanks

^^ I may have.. I'll look when I get home tonight.. I'll dig and see if I find anything.

Thanks Vader,
I'll send you a pm...

I gotchoo covered.. looks nicer in the pic, but if you're after a super tail light assembly that works.. this should do the trick.. I'll try and get it out tomorrow.

Oh! you'll need ONE of the long screws to hold the lens on.. I could only find one.

Thanks Vader!

I insist on paying you for the light and shipping...

Pm me your PayPal info...

Seriously...

Thanks again...

It's on the house... capiche?

Vader helped me out with a Super/Sprint tail light! He even threw in some extra goodies!

Thanks Again Vader!

always been a ledge!

I'm in need of a seat cover for my VBA. The one I had on has continued to deteriorate beyond use. Although riding without a cover is a lot more comfortable than you might imagine, it's less than ideal.

Condition is not crucial since it's going on an unrestored bike.

I have a few random bits and pieces for P series, VBA, and ET3 to trade or will pay cash.

Let's deal.

I guess my old seat finally gave up. Well at least you got some use out of it. I hope you can find another that doesn't look too new.

Yes, it came apart in pieces. First the a rivet or two on the side gave out. Then the back part came un sewed, then the other two rivets tore out, and now more stitching is coming apart. It's held on to the frame by zip ties right now, but it won't last much longer. I think the material is just too dry rotted and the vinyl cracking from years of exposure. It is 50+ years old after all.

Yes, I did get some use out of it, I wish it had lasted longer, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks again for the donation.

Still need a seat cover like I mentioned above, but I need a gear selector box cover to fit my VBA gearbox as well. Anyone? As usual good condition is frowned upon. Just needs to be useable, not pretty.

Maybe I have something you need. Parts? Cash?

Thanks

Anyone got a 24/24 air filter, or some si jets (looking for them in the 120-128 range?

I've still got a Primavera 3rd O/S piston on my shelf. Going to go through my cabinets and see what else I can put up for grabs later this week.

I got choo.. Pm address, I'll ship it out tomorrow..

Thanks V.
