as far as the frame goes-its usually the floors that go first,you can buy replacement floor sections,think a replacement frame might be a little harder to source,but im sure someone will have one,but like i say if its the floor that needs doin it should be a doddle!!!!

hi greg,think i might have an original tank if u want it?-think im right in saying its the one with the big filter thingy on the bottom?,ive just repaired a scoot that had the same symptoms,turned out the rings had gone,i was still getin a little compression so thought they were ok,best to take the head off and have a look,only take a minute or ten to take it off,if they are ok then fine,at least youve ruled it out

another thing-in a recent scootering publication it stated that the dvla were goin 2 start registering indian etc lambrettas as anything other than a lambretta!! ie veejay whatever,so will it become the case that lambrettas from anywhere other than italy will now start to decrease in value???-far 2 overpriced anyhow if you ask me-look in scoot trder or on ebay and folks are askin silly prices for lambreetas these days.-Hope that gets you all talkin!!!!

hi glyn-seem to remember sumthin about pk forks being used,but i'll post another reply later on 2day and let you know for sure,as far as the engine goes-if you use a p range its gonna be a 12v system(unless its an early p range engine),so the wiring,and regulater will need to be upgraded/replaced to suit,if you can get hold of 1-a bajaj chetac regulater etc is a relativly easy wirin conversion to use

its better when your cleaning the carb to blow all the jets thru with a compresser(if you have access to one),it only takes a minute particle stuck in a jet to stop it running.

the rubber ones are much easier to put on,some of the others need a flaring tool to put them on.

if your findin it dificult to attach the cable to your speedo-push it up thru your forks a bit more,that'll give you a little more to play with.

the scootRS pipes look and sound ok,and are cheap,but personally i wouldnt bother,but thats just me.Believe it or not the best value for money exhaust you cud get is a sito plus,they look like a standard exhaust,sound like your fartin in a tin but work great!!!!!!-ive put a few on mates scoots and they've been more than happy with the results.At the end of the day a standard PX125E isnt gonna perform that well away from the lights as you say,they just wernt built 4 it.Another option might be putting a kit on it ie-malossi 166cc cylinder kit etc,but then your entering a whole new realm!!!

i recently had the same problem mate and found it was the clutch 'tangs' that were causing the clutch 2 snatch-its an easy repair so dont throw your old clutch away!-it'll do as a spare/backup

hi scrappy,ive had a cut-down vespa with a centre tank,i welded a piece of bar from the headstock back to the frame,then sat the tank on the bar.I also put a cutdown sip type seat on it (which my son makes) and it looked the business.Let me know if your interested in takin a look at a seat and i"ll get back to you.

hi again!!-if the lockset your son has in is 1 that can b removed in this way its more than likely his pther two locks can b taken out in the same fashion,its a matter of locating the tiny hole so you can push somethin in to dislodge the last pin.just a tip-while your tryin to dislodge the locks it helps to pull them out if at the same time you can pull a little from the keyside ie-where you insert the key,anythin will do,small screwdriver etc just try and help it out if you know what i mean.If you get stuck-get back 2 me and i"ll try help u out-good luck

hi jacqui,on some vespas theres no need to drill the barrel out-take the front horncasing off,this is done by opening the glove box and undoing the 2 screws from inside there,then on the front of the casing u should have a plastic piaggio logo-remove that,and take the screw out of there.Right with the casing off you should b able to see the cylinder that houses the ignition barrel,on the underside of it there should b a tiny hole(around 4mm)wide-if u get a pin or needle and push it up thru the hole you"ll be able to feel the last pin on his ignition lock,if you can push the pin up u can take the lock out

im doin a mates clutch that is snatchin when hes tryin to set off,ive done loads of work on scooters but this has got me baffled-ive changed the brass shim,checked plates etc,the only thing i can c wrong with it is the clutch basket,ie-where the plates protrude thru (tangs),they r a little worn,been told that if i file em down that"ll do the job?

sounds like your regulater is buggered mate,or an earth problem-have you access to a multi-meter and do you know how to use 1???,if your regulater is not workin,when u put a new bulb in it will work-but when u rev the scoot up the regulater if at fault wont (regulate) the power to the bulb and blow it.wuth a multi-meter you cud see if youve got power,and at what voltage to your lights.Can you lend a regulater to try??
