200 px 1986 engine, just seemed a bit bit of a trickle when I checked the fuel. It's also has loads if bottom end torque but no top end power, I mean flat. Thought it might be fuel?? Maybe a new needle?

I think I might have a touch of fuel starvation, I have seen the fast flow fuel taps on Shebay. Any good?

In fairness the changer works o.k even with massive winter gloves on! Although there was a guy at the mot station who was a vespa-lamberetta expert who said I has b*st**dised the scooter with my handle bars! I had to laugh I thought modifying was exceptable in the word of scootering!

The changer is from beedspeed I have the reciept in the history folder, it works better with the clutch on the changer side, I think I can get used to it . Its all new so I have adjusted the cables twice seem to get better the more I use it. I do like the bars so I will check that dude out. Thanks for that. Martin.

Standard forks I think. In fairness my handling will be better now with the steering bearing sorted. I called beedspeed today about the bearings they were v helpful. The braking is wierd but I guess it a part of the charm!!!!

Sorted, stripped the front down, cleaned the top and bottom bearings re tightened them hey presto super smooth steering.the condition of the cups was spot on. I think they had been over tightened then it had been stood for a couple of years. Back for a retest tomorrow. What sort of cruising speed should I expect with a rebuilt 200 cc engine.? Mine seems a bit flat!

Where's a good supplier for all things vespa, wouldn't mind replacing the front damper whilst I'm at it? Is eBay as good place as any?

Trust me its a weird thing to ride, i would swap them over but might be hard to pull the clutch whilst trying to twist the gear lever. I am going to try to put a standard gear and clutch lever back on but not sure wear to start !

Hi I have a 1973 vespa, it's has I 200px engine in it. It has a new grip twist gear change, the front brake is on the left side and the clutch is on the right side. It was a none runner but I have got it running but on a test ride round my road has revealed that the gear change brake set up is weird. How expensive/hard is it to convert it to standard? You can see the set up in the picture. Any help would be super. Martin Attachments:
