Your really good & knowledgeable on the Vespa bud...
Love you from Pakistan Great work keep it up for vespa lovers
8:43 maybe the seal dry rotted?
Probably shrank and no longer sealed properly.
Oh my word, that was so disgusting. I did not know black widows were common in VA
First time I ever saw one was in my house. This one came from Richmond...lol.
Hey there, boss...great ROBOT CUSTOM WERKS T-shirt! I got my '24 300 GTS "Classico" from the fine folks at Vespa Motorsports down in San Diego, about 90 minutes southeast of where I live in the SoCal desert. Robot is pretty much exactly how he seems in his videos...a regular, really nice dude. And SMART! I have no problem at all watching you rebuild another P200. We learn from repetition, after all!
I think we have all learned a thing or two from Robot. He is the pioneer of TH-cam scooter videos. I'm gonna try to make my way out to visit Vespa Motorsports one of these days.
Boy u know your Vespa engines pretty good. Good work bud
Thank you!
excellent
Wow, that was a bit interesting with all that gas pouring out of it. I’m glad it never caught on fire.
I actually rode the bike around the block like that lol.
That’s a nice little motor and those engine cases wow they look so good. I don’t have to try to do that to mine one day.
Have you tried the dry ice technique to shrink bearings and crank for fitting with the heated case?
I have not but I have thrown them in the freezer a few times before installing them. Doesn't always work though.
Another great video…..You are so productive! I’ve been working on my P200 for a year….still not done 😔. I have another question for you. The SIP tach/speedo….i believe I’ve seen you install them before. Looking at the wiring digram from SIP, they show power to the speedo box strait from the battery. Do you wire yours that way or power the speedo from the key switch? I don’t know why they want it powered all the time. I’m running the Vape 12vdc with a battery. Thanks again ❤
Thank you! I know I have quite a few projects going on right now but I will eventually get them all done. There's just not enough hours in the day and I work 6 days a week :(. So for your SIP gauge, you will need to wire it to the key switch DC or the gauge will eventually kill your battery. I run mine directly to the voltage regulator because all my bikes are AC and the gauge only gets power when the bike is running.
@@smallborecorps yeah, that makes more sense. Thanks again!
Uh oh, p200 coming up next!!!
Man it was a long video 1:03:47 what grease are you using for the gasket?
Bel Ray waterproof grease
Welcome back!
Always a pleasure! You have the best sigh in the business...it's always a hoot to hear you heave one right before you move to your next step. I'm not sure that I'll ever use any of the knowledge I'm picking up from your vids, but they are quite informative...and fun to watch. Thanks! Oh...and whatever happened to that ET2 I used to see stashed on the side of your garage?
I was not able to figure out the issues with the ET2. I gave it back to the owner and she ended up selling it.
Can't stress enough the importance of that layshaft assembly and the shift cross function. Learning this the hard way is part of the reason people hate working on small frames.
Love the videos, thanks 👍
Glad you like them!
Ciao… Dove hai comprato il supporto per il goniometro digitale?
Buzzwangle
@@smallborecorps thank…..🙏
I've just started watching your channel. I'm so impressed with your work, tricks and explanations. It's a pleasure to watch and I'm learning heaps. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
I come from Vietnam. I also ride a Vespa and repair my own bike, thank you
Very cool!
I'll be at the ride this Sunday. I'll be on my Puch maxi until I get a scooter 😂lol
Recommendations on rotary pad repair? I have some scoring on one of my engines, more than I'm comfortable with. My first thought was JB Weld, fill and smooth.
The only person I know that could repair this would be Hot Rod Al in the states. The only other solution is to go with a reed valve setup.
What might be some other ways to remove the crank if we were going to reuse it? 18:56
You can still reuse the crank with the way I removed it. You don't want to ruin the threads if you intend on reusing it.
8:17 “not that much oil” HAHAHHAHAHHAHA
Woohoo stock motor, here we go!
Are you going to add Milos kit to it?
I’m not sure what a Milo’s kit is.
@@smallborecorps sorry I meant to say Milosky kit
@@mrourcanada8964If you mean Malossi kit. Yes I will be upgrading to the 136cc Malossi kit for this rebuild.
14:11 moment of truth!!!!
Lol what a tease for the intro!!!! Haahha
Tommy -- you DID it! When that sucker cranked first time on the second kick, I laughed out loud. Congrats, my man...good job (but then I didn't expect anything less!). On to the next one...
Gotta love that smallie sound.
Tommy, it sounds outstanding. I have the SIP dogleg adjustable levers on the bike and against most people’s advice it’s going in a 64 smalldoor. I don’t have any problem slipping off the carb, pulling the lower shock bolt to change the plug.
I think Rick is going to have a good time with that sounds great
You make it look easy! I’m going to order that engine stand from Mercato. Looks like a great option. Since I’m in the east coast, Scooter Mercato is my go to resource for parts, especially those little nick-nacs you always forget from Scooter Center or SIP. Dave is super helpful. Give them a try and mention Small Bore Core when you order on line 👍😀
I know the small frame engine is a newer design than the large frame. I’ve always loved the size of a small frame but none of them had power…including the Primavera. I’m curious how a performance built small frame engine actually feels compared to a large frame engine. I know the faster race Vespa’s are the small frames. Orangina must be so fun to ride! It must feel like a rocket
@@user-vk5rs5qi6l The blue badge is my favorite but both are a blast to ride. Stock smallframes do lack power but they really come alive with a few modifications.
Yeah, that was an awesome video series little bit finicky when you start putting different parts together on that thing but I love that engine stand. I’m gonna order that right away and I can’t wait to hear that things start up.
Thanks for showing every last step for people looking to do a rebuild!!! Very informative. Especially figuring out the timing. I dont think I could do that one my own.
Oringina is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Yessir, I'm gonna watch this sucker again 'cause you've got an additional 3+ minutes in this version vs. the version I watched yesterday! You know how much I like your videos...and how much I learn each time. Thank you, Tommy!
I really appreciate the support!
7:46 looks like everyone had a blast! And decent turnout!
Man… sorry to hear issues you had to fix on the spot.
awesome Tommy's back with a new project cant wait.
Dude -- so glad Lammy Jammy was a success for y'all! Okay...as a Vespa guy, I damn near know more about Lammys from you than I know about my own 2 scoots! Excited to watch you get to work on this one. Great stuff!
I’m excited for the work ahead! When I saw your parts collection, it reminded me of how things have changed. Back in 84 I ordered parts for my Jet from a shop in England. I saw an add in Scootering Magazine (sold at a record store). I got up very early and called the shop and used my parents CC to pay…..believe me they thought it was a terrible plan. But a few weeks later a busted up box of parts arrived….what a thrill! Thanks for your videos….you have the best scooter channel on TH-cam ❤
You made my day. Thank you so much for watching!
Now I have a technical question for you. I’m installing a SIP Vape DC ignition on my 79 P200. I’m trying to understand why the turn signal flasher has power directly from the voltage regulator on the B+, and 12v through the key switch when in the “on” position. I was just going to supply 12v from the key switch? That should work…am I missing something?
@@user-vk5rs5qi6l I think you are referring to the purple wire from the regulator to the flasher. There should also be a green going to the key from the flasher that connects to the same prong. If I'm not mistaken, those two wires get a ground signal when the key is in the on position. You shouldn't need it if you are using the VAPE regulator.
@@smallborecorps That’s what I was thinking, but when I check continuity through the key switch, power is coming up to post 3 and when in “run” I have continuity from post 3 to 1. Post 1 green/white wire runs back to the center post on the flasher. From that center post of the flasher, a grey wire goes back to the B+ on the rectifier. Weird set up
@@user-vk5rs5qi6l Looking at the diagram again. It does look like C gets 12v when key is on. The center pin of the flasher is also the 12v supply wire. I'm guessing that factory regulator needs to have a 12v sense to work? Again, you don't need it if you're going with the Vape kit.
Glad the rally went good for you and man. I can’t wait till you built that bike that’s going to be awesome. And fast.
Good stuff Tommy!
25:35 thanks for the reminder to leave the screws loose when working on fitment.
12:55 thanks for sharing the tip to get the three fenders lined up. Didnt know it was that complicated.
1:16 hardcore man! Making your own harness lol 😂
I used your trick on drilling a hole to feed the throttle cable at the head set….worked perfect! Thanks bro!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Dude!… cool vids 👍🏼… I had 2 bgm stators go on me on one trip recently!… one after 600 miles and the other after 30 miles !!! Iv been told the red pick ups are all trash…. Will watch your next videos to see if you sussed it out…
Finished just in the nick of time plus a bonus bike to fix as well. I love that new gauge though from sip I can’t wait to get one of those for my bike. Enjoy my friend.
