Vespa Handlebar Motor Rebuild Porn

 

Rebuild52.jpgI came across this flickr photo stream from a guy who owns (or works at) a Vespa shop.  I'm not sure exactly where he is, but it looks like he's in the US.  Whoever he is, from the looks of his photos, he's a really good tech.  He's got a lot of really nice photos detailing a rebuild of a really old (first year) 1952 Vespa Allstate motor.  Those old wide-body motors are pretty archaic, and are set up a bit differently than the later rotary valve motors.  When you see them from the inside, you realise how utterly basic they really are.  Nevertheless, there are a few tricks to working on them, and it is nice to see someone go to the trouble of taking photos of many of the steps of the rebuild.  Kudos!
