I'm new to this forum. I own a 1980 Bajaj Chetak and from what I've read parts from a Vespa Sprint 150 will interchange. I want to upgrade the front Spring Shock and can't figure out the right one. I ordered a stiffer hi perfomance one for the Sprint and it seems to be much wider than the one on the scooter so I don't think it will fit correctly. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions?

Kindly,
Vespaz]]> Vespaz Vintage Vespa Forum Sat, 12 May 2012 10:38:00 -0700 http://www.twostrokesmoke.com/phorum/read.php?2,149,149#msg-149 http://www.twostrokesmoke.com/phorum/read.php?2,149,149#msg-149
My question is how do you connect the HT Lead to the coil? It looks like it just ripped out and if I need to buy the coil with the lead attached already I will, but would like to find out if I have to make that purchase at all.

This is the model I have and everything is the same just the wire isn't attached.

I've been all over the internets and can't find what battery this scoot requires. Can anyone help me out with a link to buy one?

So I thought well I have to spend some more money but then again now's a great time to upgrade to electronic ignition.

I contacted the seller who had bought some lot of parts and he said he believed he had a stator and fly from my engine. He found what he thinks was on it but it is points and possibly maybe even a circlip style flywheel. However he did say this flywheel (ducati) was compatible with both points (lobe) and cdi statora if I chose to get an elec stator).

Would love to but what kind? Ts is an uncommon model. Does it use older style or straight
Up modern p style stators and flys?

He offered the pair (points sator and fly) for about $80. Great price but I want cdi not points. (can this stator be easily
Converted?)

Meanwhile another contact offers me just the stator (p125 electronic
Kind) for $110. Sounds good but then ive already spent more than the first option and I still
Need The right flywheel. Which is what for a
Ts?

And in the background I'm aware that scootrs sells complete kits for about 200. Just not sure which
Kit for a ts on their site?

So help: any info on the TS and how I can convert it to use electronic ignition?
Thanks
For any info. Illuminating, or otherwise.

I've got a specific question and come to your forum for some help, maybe you can help me out?

Im in the process of restoring a vintage Vespa and nearly ready for paint.
Finaly decided on the color, however I've only got 1 picture as an example....

Could anyone tell me whether the scoot in the picture has an orginal color and what name/code it has?

What I have, or at least what I think I have...
a '58 VS5
a '62 VNB

Are there other locations for vin identification or just the one. The scooters don't have any rust but the numbers are near impossible to read, at least as a whole. I can make out the VS5T but that's about it on the GS150.... on the other scooter I can make out the serial number portion but not so much on the markings before the star.

Are the numbers in other location?

I'm new with Vespa and I just inherited a 1978 P125x with only 969 miles on the odometer. I has not been ridden since 1991, but it has been started every few months. It arrived in Tampa from Oregon without a battery since the shipper didn't allow it, but I put a new battery in and tried to start. It leaked gas all over the floor and did not start. Before I start taking it apart, where would a likely place be for the gas leak? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
