1965 Vespa Super 150 out of the garage and into the hands of the owner

/ T.M.Nelson

I was very very happy to get the Vespa Super 150 I have been working on done. Down the list of updates made….

  1. Scooterworks EIK 12 volt updated wiring (what a pain in the ass…no instructions!!!)
  2. Lapped the Cylinder Head, fixing it from where the previous owner had used Yamabond (thanks guy!! What a mess!)
  3. Torqued the entire scooter. Tack welded the front axle after learning it had come loose after riding once. There are no slots for cotter pins…..WOW!
  4. Making woodruff key after woodruff key because the new flywheel wouldn’t seat on the crank…..frustrating!!!

All in all, I learned more about Vespa Large Frame scooters than I ever wanted to know……I love motorcycles and that’s really all I need to know :)
