One other quick note , also check the cylinder cam shaft for the right timing for tdc and where its supposed to be for ntake and exhaust . If the timing is off of the upper cam shaft and lower crankshaft , that could get a valve bent . The Newer Vespa's are precision made. One little thing off could give you a big headache as it its doing now.

Any movement of any sort isn't good especially on a clutch shaft or crankshaft. It may be time to check your bearings to make sure they are ok. Excessive wear on the crankshaft or clutch shaft or bearings can cause looseness. Checking for worn or loose gears wouldn't be a bad idea either. Just make sure you have gear oil and a spare gasket set handy.

yo my 2 cents worth. Each rider has to make their own choice on what they want to ride chinese , italian , taiwanise etc. Eitherway in the end you and you alone must be happy with what you purchased and what your riding. My personal preference nowdays ia the Italian Vespa 2 cycle type scooters. I love the sound the feel and I'll admit I also like the initial smokescreen it puts out when I first start it up to go somewhere. It has an additude aswell . No matter what bad things another posts about my scoot , I really don't give a d@mn ! I like what I ride ! Yor view means nothing to me ! The scoot I now have is just one small part of the evolution and hstory of the Vespa scooters since they were first made in the early 50's.

Any scoot you get weither it be a 40year old Vespa or latest sym needs upkeep done. Some more than others. If you can learn about what your scooting on, the better you will be prepared if something does go wrong. Me I chose the Vespa -Stella types because of the history they have and also for the mechanical challenges it has given me. I have had more than my fair share of d@#$ Italian scooter remarks when working on my 2T . What I get in the end is the satisfaction that I got it fixed on my own and learned something while doing so. If you don't learn then your going to end up paying even more than you started out.

I have just added more files to the Vespa Support page in the reference section. Some of the files are current model or newer models than the PX series scooters. I have listed GT250 GT300 and LX series support files.
