Fuel cut off px 125 .

[mont]

Hi all just purchased px 125 2012 . No handbook but was told to have fuel cut off pointing straight up when riding but it keeps stalling . When I turn it to the right when sat on seat it's fine . Tank is full . Anyone cast a light on this please .

Sat on the scooter looking down.Right is on,left is off and pointing up is reserve.

The advice you got when you bought it would have been correct for a tap with reserve position.
But pointing up is Off on yours – there’s a fuel gauge and no reserve on your scooter,
So just use your tap as On (to right – towards engine), and Off (to left – away from engine).



There’s a wealth of info in old threads on this site; you should have a good read round using the search function, and get yourself a Haynes manual sharpish!

I've got a new 2016 PX and they now come with this attached

Makes life a lot easier for newcomers to Vespa's and for those of us who don't speak Italian.

Hi northstandhero, we posted at the same time before and I noticed you'd said slightly different.
It made me wonder if the more modern taps had changed again; your image seems to show they have.
If so, it would be interesting to know when that changed (though I won’t be buying anything modern), and mont’s 2012 seems to be as we expected.
Does your 2016 speedo still have a fuel warning light as well as gauge?

Hiya Sime, yeah still has a warning light,on previous px's I'd always taken it as off, reserve,on. The graphics on the new bike could be interpreted as that or the pump could just be referring to the tap being for fuel. In all the years of having scoots I've never used the tap on reserve anyway.

I got 1984 px125, same prob. My last switch on 51 plate was as u sat looking dwn.. left off.. middle run.. right res..
Mine on middle cuts out after approx 5 mins, on right perfect..

Simply there are only two taps, older type with no fuel gauge pre EFL has 3 positions off on reserve

Sat on bike Looking down
off lever to left
On lever pointing up
Reserve lever pointing right

later taps 2 positions off on only

Off to left, right for on

Its not uncommon to find someone has put the wrong tap in.
