Widely consider to be THE Bible for Lambretta owners looking for everything from changing a tire to a complete strip-down and debuild, “The Complete Spanner’s Manual” is back.

In part two we walk-through the process of removing your existing stock front drum brake set-up.

The front drum brake on vintage Vespas has never been celebrated for its stopping power. But there are a couple of things you can do about it. Read on to learn about hydraulic brake options.

Florida scootergirl Maureen is back with another helpful video. This video demonstrates the location, removal, cleaning, and re-installation of the air filter.

This morning I figured I’d take a slightly different route on my ’85 Vespa PX from the East Village to work in Midtown in an effort to keep things interesting. The exhaust coming off the bike proved to be more interesting.

Turns out that what I thought was a problem with the flasher unit in my PX was ultimately a simple case of a flat battery. After putting the battery on trickle charge overnight using my Battery Tender everything fired back into life again this morning.

No scoot into work today. The PX has flatly refused to flash a turn signal. They’re all dead. Front, back, left, right. Nothing, nada.

Lately my PX has been having a tough time starting, even warm, with more than a few kicks and the choke full-out to get the beast purring. There are a number of possible reasons for this, but a typical culprit is the carburetor.
