I think on my Stella, the gas line is in FRONT and the oil line is in the BACK.

Could either be a mistake in this video, or my stella carb might be different.

However, everything in this video looks like the carb I have.

Also, there is a grommet on the cover where the idle screw comes through.

My grommet was almost deteriorated, so be careful when putting the

cover back on.

This was GREAT! I have a 2005 Stella 2T that starts OK in the morning, but in the

afternoon it takes an effort to get it to start and keep running! The plug was new.

I suspected the carburetor, but had NO idea how to remove and/or clean it.

Now I do thanks to this wonderful video. Thank You ScootervilleMN !!

Thanks so much. Too long a story why, but there is probably either a Stella or a Bajaj in my future. The single-arm suspension and same sized front & rear wheel (one spare works, either end, and quickly) would be why. Best regards.

Great series of videos! Too bad it's not HD!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! My beloved 1965 Vespa Sprint Veloce had been sitting sick for a week because I just didn't want to tackle the job. This video was spot on (obviously no fuel injection system in my old dear, but I was able to translate) Had her up and running better than ever after your detailed, clear instructions. MADE MY DAY!!

Got a Bajaj 4T, so things are a little different, but not by much, this is still getting me in the know for what I need to do! Really thorough and "tricks of the trade" oriented. Brilliant.

Thanks so much for producing and posting this great series. Just picked up my second Stella, but this one has been neglected for a few years and needs love.

I've been through Mpls a few times and love your shop!
