Hi , I'm Graham

Joined the forum as I want to get to know about small cc 2 strokes. (this look like a good place )

I have mainly owned older 4 stroke motorcycles in the past but am building an interest in the working of scooters and Mopeds .

I have been asked to renovate my neighbors vespa px125 (not touched one before ) and have a honda camino & moby in the shed .

I can take an engine apart and get them running Ok but would like to know the in's & out a bit more.

many thanks for the add.

Regards Graham

Graham, there is a lot of information here but for your PX might I suggest you look at these sights:
scooterlounge.com/vespa/buyers-guide/index.shtml
This site is good for parts in the US but has good info on rebuilding: www.scootermercato.com/Garage/Tech-Tips
Then there is Robot on Scooterwest: www.scooterwest.com/discover-learn/vintage-vespa/

And of course a member here that has done some with things with Vintage Vespas: thatscooterthing.com/contact-us/

I hope you enjoy 2 stroking and learn a lot. Don't be afraid to ask a stupid question we all do.

To many scooters to list, its embarrassing
Everything I know about scooters I learned at 49ccScoot.com
Everything you need to know is here:http://49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/1234/directory-find-faster
