side stands look great but do make curly floorboards in the end.

U can't go wrong with the polini 130 kit and a leovince/polini exhaust. The transfers rerally do need to be matched for the polini to work to its full potential. Astandard will suffice bu a 25phbl is so much better if your considering porting the cases. SIP are great for smally bits but for little bits and bobs u could find it easier to use turners/beedspeed or totally scooters.
Being "comfortable in modern traffic at 60" will cost you about £400 in engine bits but you'll end up with a little stormer.

On my p2 mine was bolted to the number plate. Interesting points about the tax disc not having to be on display and the flip up lid.
Another point of interest is the "daytime mot" - No lights of any description needed. not even a brake light and the lack of a speedometer (last one is dependant on rigidity of testing station) . Bagsy's cut down smallframe racer (members scooters page) has a daytime MOT and I Know that a lot of pre-war motorcycles have them too. I wonder how many traffic cops are actually aware of this MOT option !

"thats an air leak that is" on the assumption you've not tweaked the carb settings , check how tight your carb and manifold box are and condition of gaskets. torque down the cylinder head. when idle is high, spray wd40 round suspect areas and see if revs come down. Have you any oil deposits on or close to flywheel and cover ( flywheel oil seal could be split ) ITS A PAIN, but its only a hobby.

Very early p2's used a rally engine, p200E used a 118 main jet and a different cylinder head compression ratio, modern px200 uses a 116 main jet and i believe the port timings are slightly revised. I don;'t know why but mk1 P2's always seem quiter and smoother, pity that all p2's only breathe through a single transfer port in the casings when quite clearly they could use 3 ports like their little brother (px125).

Yeah my monies on a loose exhaust stub or cylinder head joint, SIP expansions are prone to this if not sealed correctly

You can now buy the LED rim headlights that you see on the new Beamers for scoots now. Basically its a ring of super bright LED's that you fix into your lens and wire up to the pilot light for a different look to your scoot. Sure beats having loads of lights on that don't work, but i would say that based on the fact I'm an antagonistic b*st**d ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

just re-read your post (oops )
do you have a fuel sender on your petrol tank, with a wire from the tank ? Battery ? Appropriate loom ?

process of elimination really, take headset top of and start removing wires till existing gauge drops and hey presto yuo've found the wire from the fuel sender unit .

a conspicuous hello to everyone. i assume when you refer to a plug on the loom you are referring to a pk then ? davedaniel.proboards91.com/speak to juan on the above link which is actually a smallframe specific forum, if it is a pk he will have the solution (he loves em ). If its a primmy/ classic shape then with the exception of the 100 sport then I don't know anything about a plu being on the front of the loom. Ps. got a modified x loom in my smallframe and it was a tat to fit , took 3 of us all holding different lengths of string and wire, but the scooter was complete and still on the road ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

offer the engine up and centralise the back wheel (2 man job) and the scribe areas to be trimmed on the swingarm. I suppose saying 20mm here and there is no good really as condition and finish of frame dictates exactly how much should be trimmed. davedaniel.proboards91.com/ this forum is great for smallframe stuff and should get you all the details you want .

if you are going for a total rebuild, then hang fire, make a list and get it all from SIP, you'll save money that way and they have absolutely everything you'll need.

lets not forget that if 6 to 12 is all you want (ie not electronic) then beedspeed can alter your stator plate for a vwery reasonable price.
PS . welcome to the cold weather everyone, hope your gloves are warm ;D

I say best to never ommit any parts . Ring Len turners they should have one. Check thread in the base plate is ok while you're there

Is it beneficial on a vespa engine (kitted or not) to have the "deck gap" (piston top edge to cylinder top edge) , reduced to absolute zero. Lets say you have a gap of 0.61 -1.00 thou , then would reducing this thru barrel base skimming be detramental to engine performance or noticeable performance wise? Probably should have pm'd OZ with this one really

you'd get a lot better pipe design flow on standard t5 down n forward a la original t5 format and reduced thermal problems> I can heat a pasti in my smallframe buttybox with the heat generated by the zirri pipe routing> I know of a guy on et3.it forum who has done this conversion and uses a modified sip evo pipe which has produced a nifty relaible rally oing smallframe. good luck and keep us updated !

my lammys all have the squish set on them when building the engines up (cheers jeff! ) but how many of you have actually checked the squish clearance on your veps. You could be losin vital power gained by a nice bit of head skimming. right I'm off for me tea !
