Uggginfugginpaininthebutt spark plug. Took an hour and a bit to install then ratchet jammed and need a tyre lever to prise it out. All done and running, off for mot Monday and on fbok tonight for sale. Another make of scoot off the list to work on unless central spark plug damn qmb139's are easier for plug change. Now to attend cut hands.

I remember wife's Aprilia was the same, with same engine. The chassis rail ran over the top of the spark plug recess.

Vespa fixed the problem on the Sprint and Primavera, they opened the front access panel so you can easily get to the plug.

What's a scooter addiction? Is it when you don't have enough room in your garage to get one out without moving 3 of them?

Final check over, even though it will pass mot am not happy selling it onto someone with the rust as is so will be keeping now. But I will be definitely drilling a hole to make plug removal easier after yesterday.
Road test done generator charging ok. Handles good.
