PX vespa not idling- cuts out

[wilf]

HI

I have recently bought a PX scooter and yesterday it wont sit on idle- cut's out after starting. Also, cuts out when changing gears so have to keep some revs up on it. even when warmed up it's the same. Awkward and dodgy to say the least.

Can someone tell me or direct me to a relevant you tube video o fix it

thanks

Wilf

Hi there like the Man said clean your carbs jetting quite easy job undo the cover and take off the air filter two screws both times now you're looking at the jets they need to come out and clean with carb cleaning stuff and pin out any visible muck and plast the rest with cleaning stuff and leave to soak now take off the end jet the main and take down it's number ! And clean and clean again put back the way you did it in reverse and give it a try out 🤞 jobs a good un 👍 best foot forward
