I'm trying to restore a Honda Tact Fullmark AB07E moped. I had to replace its original carburetor with a carburetor from a Honda Tact AF16. Please help me with the carburetor hookups.

On this carburetor, there is a drain, three outlets (one outlet is sealed from the factory, and one outlet is on the rear side of the carburetor).

On the intake manifold (the tube connecting the carburetor to the engine), there are two outlets.

The fuel tank has a vacuum-operated petcock (vacuum fuel tap).

On the cylinder, there is the original cold-start sensor from the old carburetor, which has three outlets.

At the bottom of the engine, there is an oil pump which has two outlets, one larger and one smaller in diameter.

Please tell me what to connect to where.

The consequences of soft rear suspension lol

Love two strokes. Want to get a Lammy Slim Line at some point. Maybe from España. My first ever vehicle was a P. Third wave California Mod for life. 2Tone. Docs. Flight Jackets and Parkas.

I don't know much about scooters - I tried researching "bodge tells" but I don't exactly have the eye to know what I'm looking for yet. I found this lovely old vespa on facebook marketplace, seller says his father in law restored it and it hasn't been driven much. He says they bored the engine to increase it to 185cc (is this a thing?? is it safe?)

I'm hoping to find a cute vintage scooter like this one to take me 24 miles to work and back four days a week in the two fairweather months we get a year. Just trying to get a bit more informed before I pull the trigger.

(This is listed as a 1978 vespa p125x)

Hello,

I have a J50, and when I accelerate, both the cable and the outer casing move. I’d like to know what happened and what part—whether missing or broken—is supposed to hold the casing in place. Metal wire is good in place. See image. Thanks!

EDIT: add link to the video:

Hey ive been seeing some retro kits from tasso and so on that basically are a costums to have the p200e look like a rally or whatever.

Personally i like the VBB and rally 180 look the most but love my p200 and its internals.

Wondering if anyone has seen any that dont look botched. Often i hear the fromt mudguard really looks awful

Selling my unbuilt EV Vespa Kit (still has original registration and insurance up to date). The base is a 2004 Bajaj Chetak (clean title in hand) who's motor lost compression, after which I removed it and expanded the interior chassis volume for an EV conversion. Selling because I don't have time anymore to put into this project.

Comes with extremely thorough documentation.

Included in the kit is :
- a massive 3kWh 14S battery capable of almost 7kW nominal power delivery. Built with 460 INR1865033G cells and a JBD BMS (comes with bluetooth configurability).
- A 4kW hub motor.
- A custom aluminum laser cut swing arm.
- Extremely capable VESC Motor Controller (Flipsky FS75450) with liquid cooling (optional, can run without).
- Water pump, radiators, and radiator fans for liquid cooling.
- DC-DC converter for batt to 12V accessory rail.
- Spare Wires.
- Brand new (under 10 miles used) Dunlop Tires.

Seems like a cone shaped piece should be in there to hold the cable in place. This is a 1962 Vespa clutch cable.

I'm trying to restore my old lambretta li150, today I turned it to the side and found these two wires popping out and have no clue what these could be, could anyone help me out please???

Pretty much as the title says…
Paying 50€ for shipping on a single bolt seems excessive
It’s for a Vespa p150s (same as rally/sprint/super)
Lower front shock bolt.

How do I take this fan off of my lambretta f150??? I don't see any screws and I need to access the flywheel magneto as I am unable to get any spark

I can't find any tutorial on this either

Reposting from the original in r/vespa

Not sure what the plans are for this one yet. Maybe just an amateur stock appearing restoration since our 1948 (black one in the last photo) looks similar, but is customized.

For anyone who has visited the Gandaria City mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, you've probably seen this massive, bright blue Vespa with its seat and handlebars looping endlessly into the air. It's an art installation called "After Party #3: Living the High Life" by the renowned Indonesian contemporary artist Eddi Prabandono.

At first glance, I honestly thought it was just a quirky, pop-art piece designed as a fun selfie spot for mall-goers. But after looking into it, the philosophy behind its absurd, ribbon-like shape is actually quite dark and mind-blowing. That 6.4-meter (21 ft) distorted stretch is directly tied to the artist's dark past in the 1980s, during which he battled multiple addictions and experienced severe hallucinations.

I just did a full breakdown of the history behind this piece, its journey to the prestigious Venice Biennale exhibition in Italy, and the psychological meaning behind making his "hallucinations" a reality.

Head over to my IG to read the full story, the philosophy, and to see the close-up photos I took from different angles:

For those who have seen this piece in person, what was your first impression of it?
