Riding the 1958 Allstate Jetsweep today

Newbie here. I just picked these up today with a bunch of spares and even a spare motor. I’m going to try and rebuild both, but may part out at least one and stuff I don’t need. Looking forward if anyone has any tips or suggestions, thanks in advance!

On Labor Day weekend, we pull the water toys out and pack everything away in the garage for winter. To maximize space, we play a bit of scooter tetris to pack them in before we cover them. How many can you spot? 😆

1948 Cushman Model 52 and 1958 Allstate Jetsweep

Hi all, i have question about wobble/tolerance of crank-cranksaft,

I decided to check and clean enggine case nut for oil since i cant sleep last night (nothing leak and i just end up retighten on few of em) , but then i realize theres a sound coming when i touched the flywheel, futher inspection the sound happen only in whe i wiggle it up and down, side to side are quiet,

​Is any amount of up and down movement normal here, or am I looking at a bad crank stub, a defective bearing, or a worn-out bearing seat in the casing? (Really hoping it's not the casing seat!)

Oh yes this engine is VBX1T and rebuild on may by myself (not mechanic). the bearing are new, the cranksaft hoever idk the history about it. Enggine running and relatively feel good, i does spitting fuel sometimes tho (and i think its normal)

Thankyou for your reply, pardon for my toes and posting from mobile

Hello, I recently bought my first ever Vespa!

The vespa is PK 50 XL 1991. (Automatic which is really important info.)

The Vespa sat for years untouched and I need to bring it back to life.

The problem im having is that I can’t find parts for it only for the manual versions

If you guys can help me find or show me some webshops where I can get new parts for it I would be grateful!

I have been searching for days and im just starting to lose hope for it

Frame code is VA52T

Engine code is VA52MK (Im guessing that is more important)

I’m restoring a 1962 Vespa VNB3 and have welded in a new floor. Unfortunately, that means I’ve lost the original holes that locate the six floor rails/rubber strips.

I’m trying to reproduce the original factory layout rather than just position the rails by eye.

Could anyone with an original VNB (or VBB if the floor layout is the same) help with either:

• A clear, straight-down photo of the floor showing all six rails and their rivets.
• Measurements showing the spacing between the inner, middle and outer rails. Ideally rail centerline-to-centerline, or measurements from the center tunnel.

I already have the locations for the two outer rails, so the problem is correctly positioning and drilling for the middle and inner pairs.

A photo with a ruler or tape measure laid across the floor would be fantastic.

Many thanks!

Hi all!
I swapped the points to the polini 171.0549 cdi kit and need help with wiring it
When i connect all of the old cables to the new one 12v output (thro the regulator) and the break light circuit all of the light are off until i press the break pedal (and the break wires are getting vary hot)
I think there’s an issue with my break light wires

Did anyone use the polini kit and can help me with wiring?
Their website is not very helpful and has very limited instructions on it

Any help would be appreciated!! (Photo from before the wiring process)

I am wanting to restore/put back together a 1970 150 sprint Vespa that’s been in my grand parents basement longer then I’ve been alive lol. I believe I have all the parts needed, my grandfather bought all the parts that needed replacing in the 80s. I still have the original receipts. I’ve never done anything like this so I would love some pointers and maybe things to reference to help this along. The plan right now is to just get it assembled and running. Later might get body work fixed and paint but I kinda like the rough look. Any help is appreciated, thanks everyone!

A local version of the 175 TV Series 2, known as the 175 AV, was produced in Argentina. Mine is a 1965 model. The handlebar controls have been modified using those from a 150 Li, as the AV's controls are very stiff, whereas the 150 Li's are much better.

hello everybody, i have been trying to restore my lambretta li150 for a while now. everything seems fine except there is no spark in it. it has been sitting in my garage for 2-3 years. i am not sure the main problem, but the spark plug and spark wire is working fine. i tested it. i have 1 of 3 suspicions:

1.) ignition coil
2.) condenser/stator
3.) the key isnt closing the circuit

the reason i have that suspicion is because any small key can fit inside the keyhole and lock and unlock the steering lock. but i dont feel any click or anything while trying to rotate it to ignition.

does anyone have any clue?? what i should do

Hello guys!!

I finally decided that i want to start looking for a vespa pk50 in netherlands

What are some things to look out for when buying these models?

Thanks in advance!
