Have cleaned quite a few sidedraught style carburettor but never one like this, watched your video a few times and now feel much happier about removing and cleaning the carburettor. Many thanks 👍
Thank You,
Work in the same way of standard carburetor whit just different chamber and disposition of fuel jet.
Have a good job.

Heyyy Dinelli!
"Fuel is a cheap choice" che divertente :)
Alla fine è la verità, 😆
Can You make a short video how to maitance a carburator corectly on PX? I think it would be helpful for Px riders👍greetings from Poland.
Thanks You.
You mean a video how to set the correct amount of fuel and air?
This video is a good video for maintenance.
I will make a new video in 4K at the next carburetor to clean, I will try to make it shorter and covering only essential point.
Greetings from Italy 🟩⬜🟥
@@CantharusENG yes, exactly! That would be great. So I wait and Hope it will be doing as I just bought Px125 and it is fantastic. I love it but need to make some adjustment. Best regards for You from Poland 👍
@@danielrazny1250 I hope to be helpful 🙂
I have been in Krakow. Beautiful place (sad for the war history, but very nice place and people)
@@CantharusENGthat's true. I live in Wrocław, it is also very nice and historic city with many interesting places to visit so You're welcome here😉
very nice! thanks for share your knowleged!
Thank You Very Much for appreciating my work
Hello and thank you for the video. A question: To unscrew the carburettor and take it out, did you use an Allen key 11? Best regards. Roman.
It was Allen key, not sure if it was 11, I will let you know as soon as I have the Vespa around
Hello Sir, how to setting idle jet screw to avoid black spark plugs?
If your spark plugs is black, you should use a lower number of idle jet. Typically you start lowering by 2 point.
Hello, love your videos! I am interested in your opinion. My Vespa PX engine broke, Ineed to change the carter + everything almost, and I was thinking of buying a new carter + polini 177. Do you think is worth it to buy a new carter or I should search for an old one? Will it be reliable? I am very interested in your opinion. Thank you!
I don't see carter on Polini website may be aren't in production anymore. I suggest to check also Malossi, as Polini Malossi is a great factory and they make a great carter for Vespa if You are looking for performance. They are a bit expensive, it's up to You. Polini is good as well, I don't see carter Polini for Vespa PX.
Personally i love Malossi, they make a lot of research and product on Vespa.
Feel free to ask any questions
@@CantharusENG I ended up buying a old carter, hope it will last me a long time :)
I could not find anything new also...
@@arancioimpulsivo Vespa is a strong scooter. In Italy there are a lot of Vespa still running from 1960 and much more from 1970. Just make a small maintenance and don't ever run without oil and you will be fine👍🏻👍🏻😊
Have removed my SI24 from PX, now major problem with oil leaking from autolube through mixer screw in back of carb box. Any ideas how to prevent this? thanks
Sorry for delay. A little bit of oil leak is normal. Some fuel mixture escape from the air filter due to a back pressure generated from the piston moving back. The gasoline evaporate and the oil start to accumulate until it start dropping from the first point free which is the mixture screw hole from the carburetor box. Is normal as soon as it's 1 or 2 drops at day. More oil may be other stuff.
How much mileage getting?
My vespa run about 25 km with 1 liter of gasoline
What is your jet size ?
Jet max 100
Jet min 45
Chock jet 60
@@CantharusENG I'm using the same but my mileage is too poor 22kmpl only..shall I use main jet size 96
@@nareshdesanthiri3192 I don't think You will gain any significant fuel economy, in the opposite running leas You risk to damage and overheat the engine. I don't raccomend using max jet below 98 unless you live at high altitude.
My Vespa run about 25km/l at sea level. Replace also transmission oil for lower the drag, and tyre pressure (I suggest 2.0 bar front and 2.5bar rear)
