Now I have been reading about cease ups and I am not sure if I have a one or two !! I was out on a long run on the scooter and when I came to traffic and roundabout in 1st gear l lost the revs gone so I de clutch quick and reved the engine back up to keep moving forward !! Now that is always a bit worrying. How can I tell the difference between a cease or something else as happened ?? I don't think it was but Hay it's a bit worrying !! Best foot forward soulboy74 🏴

You are thinking of a seizure, commonly on the top end, where the piston sticks in the barrel.
What you are describing is very unlikeky a seizure, as this usually occurs when engine is under load.
Could be a lot of things blocked pilot jet or worn carb body. Could be a failing cdi, pick up or ht coil

Yes I think your right with the CDI !! With the modern vespa PX it's a crappy CDI !! If you fit a none resistor plug it will burn out your CDI ?? So always get the Rl82c / br7hs) or like me your on your second CDI unit and maybe my third one soon!! We live and learn the had way best regards soulboy74 ✊

Easy way with a seizure, doing 65+ head down, arse up, that split second when it cuts out. You know, when you look down and go on f**k, then she fishtails….. Clutch in, coast a bit, clutch out, see if the dam thing splutters into life. Bob hopes buggered off, stand and stare at it for 15/20 minutes (feels like an eternity), gingerly kick the thing over. Get going back home, swear a lot, put in shed, stick kettle on, change underpants.
Brief guide to a seizure.
