Engine is fine on any unleaded fuel you don't need LRP or additives, you should be seeing 55/60 MPH..

have you just run new rings in or was it a complete rebuild ? 45mph according to vespa speedo or a gps system ? Proper exhaust or one of those restrictive twin tail piope jobbies?

That's a typo Joey. Mike asks for a 6" length of soldier as payment for his mechanical skills. Maybe you're the soldier for the job mate.

Use solder to check the squish (could be massive). Then dremmel the funk out of the transfers and whatever else gets in the way 60mph EASY
