Lovely Job, hope you get the electrics sorted so you can really enjoy it

Check your float, it may not be floating, I had this with my sprint, there is an overflow hole in the lid above the filter, if the float doesn't float, petrol keeps on flowing. I suggest replacing both float and needle valve.
Good Luck

I'm after a Squire sidecar bracket to fit a PX, don't mind if it needs painting but the holes need to round, sounds obvious but you get some oval ones.
Cheers Tony you can e mail me anthony.purdy@ntlworld.com

Hi Fred, Hope to see it soon at Gustard Wood, looks pretty good in the pics

Cheers

I have just googled this subject, and your dead right so I bow to your obvious knowledge in this area, my background is organic chemistry and laterly safety, so should have checked before I posted my initial thoughts. my experience of acid based treatments for rust is on cars and is a few years ago...

Niether of these sounds too powerful, your absolutley right about adding acid to water, best poured gently down the side of the vessel and stirr slowly then allow to cool. Good quality rubber gloves is a must, also safety glasses. personally I still prefer the gravel treatment, I guess you should ...

Hi There

I am a chemist, Sulphamic acid is corrosive, and harmful, it or phosphoric for that matter wont neutralise rust, it eats it! souse with caution
using gravel and water followed by extensive drying then sealing is far safer.

Yes they are indicator buzzer, also they are AC so no good for accessories such as phone charger or sat nav

A 190 sounds a bit big, I had a 120 when running a simonini on my P200 the plug colour was just right, I left the air screw at 1.5 turns. But it too suffered with running out of puff, although it got there quicker. In the end I went back to standard, it pulls up hills better and uses less fuel. T...

Intersting paint job, that seat looks pretty uncomfy though

Very nice job, if you want a comfy seat go for a King and Queen I can ride all day and still walk

Very nice Rally, Where did you get the screen for the PX, and does it do any good. I had a mod screen on mine and it wrecked the handling

Theres one just appeared on E bay, it has lambretta fittings, the bracket for the vespa frame cost £90-£100 from wastsonian squire.

I'm restoring one to go on my old scoot, clad I'm not the only nutter out there
