Garage Time: Vespa Sprint

IMG_1381.jpg

I have not had any time to work in the garage recently. But I dug up this photo I took of a Vespa Sprint that I worked on several months ago. It was having problems with flooding and poor idle, as well as a headlight that had vibrated apart. After some fiddling, I traced the running problems to a faulty float housing on the carb. A new one of those did the trick, and she ran great. I took the headlight out, and did a little surgery on it. I got some heavy duty adhesive, and got it all back together and rattle-free. I may have done some other work on the scooter too, but it was so long ago now that I can't remember.
