Getting a Vintage Vespa P200E Running After Sitting 2+ Years!

[@Retro_Iron]

Just wanted to add a compliment to the person behind the camera. Good in-focus close ups of the work. Lots of channels struggle with that.

Thanks so much for these wonderful, detailed videos, great to feed our passion. They are not long. I add my compliments for camera work and production in general.

I have a 1979 P200E. Way more fun to ride than modern Vespas. I just pour old gas out. I use gas as a parts cleaner, and also to clean oily greasy dirt off my hands and arms after working on a car or bike. One of the issues with those Vespa tanks is there is no way to get all the gas out. Even when all the usable gas is gone, there is still almost a 1/2" of gas left on the bottom of the tank. I store mine through most of the long HOT AZ summer. I like to get all the ethanol gas out, and put TruFuel in it. I have a suction pump that can get some of it out, but to get it all out, I take a bunch of small rags, put a rag on the end of a piece of wire, stick it down through the filler, and let the rag soak up the gas. You have to do it over and over again to get it all. I like that tail light. Mine just has the square style tail light. Would like to have one of those. I weigh 240, I run 32 psi in both tires. Those are modern tires. I use the vintage style tires on split rims mostly for the way they look. I wonder what the deal is with that orange silicone?

Excellent video. My Stella has been my daily ride in winter months for the last 20 years!. The Stella (or Star) is almost the same as a Vespa P/PX model. I love keeping it running and watching videos of other people working on their scoots. 😀

34:07 as an owner of leaky Harley Shovelheads I recommend using Teflon tape instead of goop from a tube. Seals very well and is also easy to remove later because it stays in tape/string form so it's easy to get all of it off the screw / out the hole. Also works on screws that vibrate loose like exhaust screws.

I’d love to see some upjet tuning videos on the P/PX/Stella’s… Like how to dial one in after rejetting for a pipe?

Good job, from Britain 👌🏻

Terrific video. A bit of freshening up inside and out and it will live a new life!

good job mr robot..regards from netherlands...

[@lararaven]

Thank you!!! I learned a -lot- about p200s and think I can directly apply all of this to my own scooter~. (My fave part was you pulling a bunch of spray paint chips out of the float bowl, though. Oops.)

[@exsoulagent]

So in your opinion the main seals wouldn’t have perished for sitting so long ? Great video as always and need to get my Rally 200 & USA import P200e sorted out this year
