Sounds like a bad porno movie doesn't it? Cyborg is going to be helping Will out on this board. Pete has a lot of 4T experience to compliment Wills 2T expertise. So post away and ask questions! Pete is really depressed he's no longer the Robotic Weinie but he'll get over it. Rich

[Kaveman]

Welcome to Cyborg ! Hopefully what he knows about the 4 cycle Vespa's will rub off on me !! We will do our very best to help reguardless of what type of Vespa you ride !

Well said Will and a very gracious welcome to Pete. Now where are you robotic scum!? Rich

I'm knee deep in the et4 sorting out the worst carburetion call on the planet,,, the walbro in the vespa has a serious problem, waiting for the sudco prepped mikuni flatslide pumper carb,,,,, but I think I may have made a mistake,,, there are clearance considerations and the tm series may be too tall,,, if it doesn't fit I may have to go with the vm series round slide ,, I'm not really looking forward to having to design and have a mini manifold watercut to stand the carb up 3/8 of an inch,,, as it is i will have to cut and move the package tub up some for clearence ,,,more to come

I've moved carbs up a bit with a thick gasket or two. But on rereading that 3/8" is a stretch. Yeah, you'd have to cut something with substance. I've used aluminum stock from Lowes and drilled a large hole in it. Then used a jig saw to finish off the inside and out, then smooth file and remove all residual metal. Might that work? Rich

[cyborg]

My very good genius friend has a waterjet cutter Rich,,,,i may develop a kit for the et and the next generation lx,,,and sell the whole package cable prejetted carb,manifold standoff block and longer bolts with gaskets
