Hi there

I have fixed the problem, it was simply where the throttle cable was connected to the throttle arm on the carb, it was too tight. Couldnt see it at first but on closer inspection thats what the prob was.

Typical

cool, I know bob there so ill give him a buzz,

Just wondered if there was an easier way round it, or cheaper, although taps arnt too expensive

Thanks for your help

Yep thats the ones, the ones either side of it. I wasnt sure if you could but the separate parts as I assume those holes go into the main bulk of the valve.

Thought one would have to buy a whole new fuel tap.

Hi there I have gone and threaded one of the holes that holds the open close valve on my fuel tap. Does anyone know where I can get the hole retapped? I am based in stockholm. Or is it easier to do it oneself? If so, where can I get a retapping kit form, what is one of those called in Swedish ;) Tha...

Hi there guys, I have a high revving situation, basically when i rev it and then return the throttle to normal, it takes quite a while for the engine to die down and back to a normal idle. Here is my set up... Vespa 50N DR 75cc kit Polini exhaust Polini manifold Dell Orto 16.16 carb with 42 idle jet...

Hi guys, thanks for that.

Have made an order from Dapra.se so hopefully they will arrive soon and I can start to actually ride this bike.

Hi there I have just installed a DR 75cc kit on my vespa 50 and I went to screw the cylinder head on but the screws dont seem to fit. I believe my existing screws are M8, i tried M6 but they are too small, so I am thinking they are somewhere inbetween. I know that M7 exist but totally rare so has an...

Hi there this summer its time for me to upgrade my V50 to something a little more powerful. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a reputable place to take my MC Körkort. I live in Nacka. Also if anyone has any info aboutt taking it that would be great. I will be ringing Vägve...

Thanks for that.

I am going to leave the stator plate wiring as it seems like a bigger job than I want to get into right now

Maybe ill tackle that in a few months.

Thanks for the help

Matt

Hi there I am hoping someone can help me. Not sure if this has already been asked for in the forum as I am not to great at reading swedish just yet. But I am totally rewiring my vespa v50n form 1967. I have seen a wiring harness on SIP scooters and was wondering if that is all I need and all the wir...

Hi there,
I have totally stripped my scoot ready for a respray, but I have noticed that the legshield is a little pushed in on one side.

Can anyone suggest a good way of getting the correct shape in which to knock/bend it back to?

Its a Vespa V50.

Cheers people

Hi there,

quick one htis

I have been ordering parts from SIP but noticed that BEEDSPEED are a little cheaper.

Has anyone had any experience with both? I was looking at a mudguard and BEEDSPEED are selling the same one for about 200SEK cheaper.

Cheers

Hi there,

In the near future I will need to be getting some body work doing. A new floor panel and a few cracks here and there.

Can anyone recommend someone that can take this kind of job on?


Cheers

Matt

Ah ha got ya,

nape all the seals are good, it isnt actually that much oil, and to be honest I think its just residue, it is very minimal indeed.

Its not like it is coating the plug, more just around the 1st couple of threads.

Just tried the vacuum thing and hard to tell really if its good or not, I can deffinately feel some air pumping awway there,

Just saw your reply SR500,

I have prertty much gone over the whole engine, new gaskets, checked the piston, that was all good,

it is indeed a CDI ignition, nothing fancy on this scoot

I am pretty sure its something to do with the fuel not getting through.

Yep, the spark plug is changed for a new one, and I had a look at it and couldnt really tell if it was wet or not, it wasnt overly wet and to be honest it spelt more like burnt oil rather than fuel, obviously where the spark was igniting the small amount of oil in there. How could I check the carb, ...

Hi there, god yeah sorry, totally forgot to mention that

Its a Vespa V50, its a brand new carb and manifold so all pretty clean

Hi there,

i think I have a fuel prob but not sure how to fix it. Firstly, my scoot wont start by kickstarting, dont know why?

We managed to kind of jump start it but when I turned the throttle it was like there was no power, it just stayed idling,

Any idea?

Cheers

Matt

Hi there, thanks for the reply and the help. All the cables are brand new as I replaced them the other day ;) I will have to double check to see how much movement I am getting out of the clutch arm, although I think it is quite a bit. Just to be sure, to fit the clutch cable i have pushed the clutch...

HI there, I finally got my vespa 50 to a stage where I could try to start it, but... I have a clutch problem and I think it is the reason for a few other problems. I hope someone can help. The scoot is a simple Vespa V50N. Firstly the kickstarter is slipping. It grips sometimes but if I do it do har...

yeah good idea. DOnt want to bugger it up and end up sanding it too far.

I am a total novice on these matters so its all new to me.
Cheers

HI there, thanks for the sanding tip. I bought the kit as one from SIP. The carb goes on about half way and then it gets a bit stiff so I am pretty sure it is the correct one. I will give it gentle sand like you said. Shouldnt need much at all. Thanks for the help. Just want to get the scoot started...
