Well its been a long slog getting back into scootering again after 30+ years with not as much funds as i would like i had to buy an lml 4t BUT after a good think i knew i had to go 2stroke as thats what they should be (imo) so over 6 months ago a freshly built full race malossi 166 px engine come up for sale, so i just had to have it (put me in debt though.....dont tell the wife) so thats the engine sorted but then i had an idea for a rear light so after working it out i then made it and had to make up the light pod to french it into the rear to house the custom light i made, then i had to lose the 4t fuel tank and make a new fuel tank, then make a seat hinge for new seat frame and make the tuck n roll seat by hand but the worst was yet to come as the wiring from a 4stroke to a 2stroke px wasn't as easy as i thought because i was going full LED lighting and that was doing my head in to the state i nearly gave up.
But anyway after getting the number of "simon the vespa man" and a few visits all the lighting is now working and everything just needs tidying up and or put back together (prob a few hours) then try tune the carb ie adjust mix screw and idle screw then i'll be back on the road.......so thanks to mate adrian for helping, cam dell for advice and Simon for his wiring expertise.....PS..was gonna do a custom paint job on scooter but this work ive done has taken longer than i thought plus ive got a friends vespa frame that needs welding up to do......so paint job will be over the winter.
