autolube problems

[twinnynolan]

Hi all,
A COUPLE OF WEEKS I POSTED A MESSAGE REF STARTING PROBLEMS WITH MY COSA. WELL I HAVE NOW NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE AUTOLUBE, BECAUSE WHEN I DISCONNECT IT FROM THE ACCELERATOR MEC AT THE CARB IT RUNS FINE.
i WAS WONDERING IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISCONNECT THE AUTOLUBE PERMANENTLY AND IF SO WILL IT BE A CASE OF ADDING TWO STROKE OIL TO THE FUEL.(LIKE ON THE OLDER NON LUBE VESPA'S.

If the Cosa's anything like other Vespas, a lot of people would recommend that you disconnect your autolube and add the 2-stroke manually anyway. The older a scooter is, the more likely your autolube is to pack in, and of course you won't know until it's too late.
