I bought a Vespa et2 a few weeks ago, which I'm planning to take away on my narrowboat this Summer. It was fairly bashed about and well in need of a bit of TLC. Your videos have been enormously helpful already, and I am already well into the restoration, although I would never claim to be anywhere near as good as you are at it. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Great video Martin, done plenty of those sticking brakes and copper slipping those pins.Keep the great vids coming Martin !
Cheers, Jeff.
Simple fix Jeff as you well know.
little touches like that Martin make all the difference, keep up the good work looking forward to it finished.atb Steve
Yes Steve, it all takes time and the more you strip, the more there is to do lol
Once again a great video dude. I'm hooked to this series
Thanks bud.
I love those ole scooters , THUMBS UP Martin !
Great vid Martin. So easy to miss lay tools I now try and get most stuff put away . but I did leave a toruch in a customers car last week 😂😂
Haha, Jamie, I hope you got it back.
Martin remove the gold restriction plate on carb inlet also remove washer between front pulley wheel if it has one,
will make it a bit more ridable.
You must have read my mind. I was thinking exactly the same thing and was going to do it in the next vid. Not sure if it will need a larger main jet. What do you think?
Hi Martin, the gold plate some call it a air flow deflector or the only other thing i could think it would be to stop carb icing ? but i just see it as a restriction to airflow.
Normally you would go up 3-4 jet sizes depending on what jet size you have i would guess around a 50+ ish so would go to 55-60 and you will have movement on needle for fine adjustment.
It looks like a dellorto carb so easy to find jets.
You also may have a plastic spacer inside throttle slide stopping it moving to wide open throttle.
I think they change jet size at factory according to what and how many restrictions they installed,your not putting a performance exhaust or open filter i guess so wouldn't go to big a jump on jet size .
You may find you don't need to up jet and plug colour would be ok with needle adjustment .
Coming along nicely Matin . Good old copper grease works a treat.
Cheers
Pete.
Haha, you know all about that copper grease Pete lol
Sure do Martin the tin is lasting well.
How many times is the one tool we want the only one missing eh! Tell you what I like Martin, you do a practical approach, don't do work that doesn't need doing.
That's right Malc, if it ain't broke, it don't need fixing lol
Only a fool buys 1 tool thinking they won't need another. You want 2x 10s, but you only have 1 and a socket won't fit.
???
Another proper job Martin!
Cheers Dan
thats a good job you dun there cleaning the carby and the enige 👍
Luckly it wasn't too bad Michael.
Great work on the vespa Martin, there's a 3/8 to 1/4 drive adapter in that halfords set you know lol
I couldn't see it in the box lol
Good job Martin, the copper grease should keep the brake linkage pin free. I had a sticking brake calliper piston on a car and a smear of copper sorted that, a lot cheaper than new callipers. Things are progressing well with the Piaggio and the Reliant is the Triumph Acclaim next on the list?.
Really helpful vid, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Dave.
My planned restoration will be a full strip, repair, improve, rebuild and modify. So the security, brakes and performance is better. It may end up being better than my own. It will be for my wife though. I intend to ride it so only my best work will go into that one.
Yes, it all takes time and the more you strip down, the more there seems to be to refurbish lol
I have a 1998 ET4 and the pivot pin was seized same as yours, not easy to free up....
nice one m8 another few jobs done
Little and often Dave lol
Nice video Martin
Thanks bud
Seized brakes. Could be the reason it was passed on to you. A good video that shows problems during a restoration. You will always run into something but usually able to repair. My dad always said "A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor".
I'm used to things going wrong Bri and having to get over problems. Sounds like your dad knew a thing or too.
Ive noticed a lot of things go wrong here. If it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. LOL. Dad taught me loads on repair.
There's always room for more tips and tricks. I'm forever learning.
love the videos Martin! the engine come up well, just wondered what you use to clean the engine down. Thanks Andrew
Just a bit of old stale petrol and a wire brush Andrew. No fancy cleaners here lol
Cheers mate, will save a small fortune. the price of some of those engine cleaners can be ridiculous for what they are.
I'm going to get a pedometer just to see how many miles I walk around in circles looking for that tool I was just using and put in some "safe" place so it would be easy to find. My shop is very organized but once I press a tool into action all bets are off! I'm with you 100% on doing the little extra stuff to keep things trouble free for the future. It usually doesn't take all that much time in the scheme of things and keeps from having to take stuff apart twice (or thrice) which really is a waste of time and effort.
Haha, I can associate with that Jack lol
Get a tool "box" any tools you use on one job, put in that box. When you've finished, take that tools box and put them back in the rightful homes. Or get a tool belt and stick them in there.
The trouble is that not only me uses the tools lol
I have a big sign on the side of one of my cabinets that says "No Tools Loaned". It is somewhat tongue in cheek but it does give pause to those suddenly friendly neighbors who wander in looking to take advantage of my investment!
was on tender hooks wen you tool them brae shoes off . last time i did scooter shoes i got my thrum jammed between them getting them off
Oh dear, an easy thing to do with these strong springs Si.
Nice job its the little extra details like cleaning that arm up and a coat of paint makes a difference will you be doing a video on making the graphics for the trotter van that be cool to see it done or are you getting them made for you ?
I may do a vid on it John, I'll be making them myself.
Can you get PB Blaster over there? It makes WD40 seem like glue.
i've not heard of it but i'll check it out.
Cheers
Martin
Damn, I liked this video a lot too! haha Thank you again Martin ......... !!!!!!!! :)
Thanks Henk.
Can you find a Honda Cub and restore it?
That is a possibility
''Oh! It makes work for the working man to do'' Harry Chapin...;p
It sure does
Is the Piaggio 2 or 4 stroke?
It's 2 stroke
2 stroke Michael
Third, great job.
Moving ahead and before long you will be moving down the road. I expect you will be done with your Piaggio before I'm done with the Goofy Cart.
Haha George, I have to have this ready for March 15th so I do have a deadline.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Third.
