What year and model is this Vespa engine? I have a 2007 LX 150. Thanks for the help!

[iowancamera]

@sambking This is a 1964 VNB engine, meaning a 4 speed 125cc engine that was used in Allstate scooters and Vespa 125 scooters. It looks nothing like your LX150 engine which is 4 stroke and uses a variator CVT transmission. Two completely different animals, but both are great scooters when they are running right. My wife has a 2006 LX150.

Thank you so much , but as you mentioned there could be many factors, only when you visually inspect will you arrive at the problem !!

[karthikneo12]

Hi, thanks for the video!! can you please help me with the following.

what should be the air screw setting on the vespa 150 ?? why is their a humming noise on my vespa after rebuilding the engine ??? The rear brake is not sharp, i changed the brake shoes and the brake drum / just installed them with out sanding the drum or the shoes.

[iowancamera]

@karthikneo12 The humming noise? Could due to vibration from the crankshaft being out of true? Or 100 other things. Did you measure and shim the gear stack so there wasn't any play in the cases? It could be clutch noise. There are too many things to make a good guess without being there in person to hear and feel the bike running. To make the brakes seat in better, scuff the drum with 150 grit sand paper or something. It should grab better after that.

From wich vespa is this motor?

@miguelmpn This is a 1964 VNB engine. 4 speed, 125cc from the factory.

The Vespa Engine design has remained unchanged in over 50 years. Simple to work on, little to go wrong, and extremely reliable. fordvt23 removal of the engine takes leass than 20 mins, a complete strip and rebuild can be acheived in half a day, and extra power can be added quickly using a range of after market barrel and piston kits and carbourettors. Suggest you buy a workshop manual, less than £20. You will need a flywheel extractor tool and clutch extractor tool to do you own spanner work

[jtxrr]

yeah! really interesting! thanks for uploading!

[julyhusky]

Excellent. Thanks for taking the trouble to do this!

[KipBurbank]

Thanks. Never have taken mine apart, I appreciate that. I did completely disassemble my 125 P for a restoration and all along the way, I was amazed by the engineering and the lack of copy cat design. They are unique, reliable and strong scooters. The best.

[stenic2]

Very well done !

[akjjb]

Great vid mate! Do some more if u can, I'm owning a px also and I'm very interested in how it works... 5 stars

[rickbar123]

how did you learn to work on scooters

[iowancamera]

This is the first time I've ever worked one one. I've worked on cars I've owned for the past several years. So in terms of complexity, this is about as simple as engines get.

[internetscooter]

great video - i tried to rate it 5 star but hit the wrong spot and it won't let me undo the rating :( I am very very sorry.

Anyone watching this video please take time to rate it so that my mistake gets overridden.

[iowancamera]

Haha, no worries. I don't care about the ratings. I'm simply uploading this stuff for a blog.

[OmNomNomFap]

I gave it 5 star, dont worry :)
