I am following your blog with great interest. I too bought a vespa from Asia but I did it unknowingly. I bought it on ebay and can relate to "the hope sombody else is the high bidder" I am in love with it but there are so many problems, the body is beautiful just doesn't run consistently. very close to putting it on ebay. thank you for your story

skachris, I am tempted to just go ahead and purchase a new 150cc engine. Really, there is nothing about the scooter that can't be fixed. It is just a matter of how far you are willing to go. Don't give up yet!

I would be interested in hearing more about your story.

Me too one of those scooterworks LML engines
can very much relate to your
post, more of my story a little later, when I actually can figuire it out. best thing to do when frustration hits is just to walk away for a little while. thanks again
