Thanks!

I feel like I got scammed, this is the main reason!

Then since I repaired it the enigne was running really nice at speed but it never idled properly.

That’s all I can tell you. But even if the jet was too small I think the…[Lees meer]

I bought a Piaggio Ciao P a few years ago. It had on it a sha 12.12 with 42 jet. The problem is that this engine don’t want to idle correctly and it’s really annoying. I set the ignition points to 0.4 mm as in the service manual, the spark plug is new, it’s a bosch super with 0.6 mm gap measured by me. I serviced the engine (complete…[Lees meer]

After a month with a lot of work at cleaning and painting the chassis (frame) I am back with a few experiences. I tried honing that original cylinder myself and the result was not bad but the cylinder’s surface was uneven and that produced NO COMPRESSION an I kind of expected this to happen. After that I decided the easiest way will be to…[Lees meer]

Any ideas about this problem??

Could this outer part of the cylinder be welded somehow??

I really need help because I want to finish it for the summer holiday :))

I will probably try first to hone my actual cylinder to 40mm, but there is a little problem:

If you look in the photo you can see one side wall is really thin (around 1mm), there would be any chance to hone it or I will definitely need a replacement?20230521_111633

Thank you for information about the crankshaft.

I know the cylinder should have been 38,2mm but it was honed before I suppose.

Would it be a good idea to hone this cylinder to 40mm to make the deep scratches disappear?

New problems are appearing on my Piaggio SI as I try to restore it. Firstly I saw two deep scratches on my original 39mm cylinder and I am wondering if I can hone it to 40mm. But, my biggest fear is that if I put a 40mm piston on it, that would probably destroy my crankshaft at high RPM, am I right? Btw I have a original brom crankshaft…[Lees meer]

How is a moustache crankshaft looking? And how is a moustache filter looking? I don t really know how the restricted parts look, without the carter which I know that the inlet of the “Brom” one is kind of sculpted to be larger inside the engine.

I own a Piaggio Si or Vespa Piaggio SI, it has a electronic engine without signal lights. I have some problems with tha carb, it s a 12.10 original dellorto, but the main jet was changed to a 58.
