ORIGINAL 1958 Allstate Vespa COLD START! Vintage Patina Vespa, Will It Run? Former Barn Find!

[@JCHD18CVOLim]

I had one exactly like yours. A 1958 Sears Allstate Cruisaire, made for Sears by Vespa. I wish I had it today. I got it in 1964 or 65 when I was 14. Before that I had a 1958 Sears Allstate Jetsweep.

[@joostderidder]

cool machine, huh !!! I have the same. 125CC ... full original and running.

[@kirb943]

Take good care of that ride man, glad to see kids appreciating classic scoots

[@Mechanic_kid]

It’s definitely a keeper!

[@imothy]

sick barn find, those old vespa engines always start first kick!

[@raymondszybowicz7597]

Had one just like that bought new at local Sears in Lincoln Park Mich Sept 58 paid 380.00 got optional speedo windshield and tail light. I was 15 years old.

[@theyoungbarista6715]

I’m glad that you love it! I have been planning on restoring a Vespa for the past couple years and have settled on trying to find a Allstate Vespa. Let’s both keep the the legacy of these scooters alive!

[@Mechanic_kid]

That’s awesome! Yep, not many around anymore👍🏼

[@theyoungbarista6715]

What is the top speed of yours?

[@Mechanic_kid]

@@theyoungbarista6715 Probably about 40mph

Great scooter. From me in the UK

[@FacundoLandoni]

Great one! Nothing like a Vespa!

[@Mechanic_kid]

Thank you!👍🏼

[@mariastenljung9159]

You have a nice Uncle, very nice Vespa hope you keep it in this condition

[@Mechanic_kid]

Was very nice of him! And yes, the plan is to keep it original and it’s patina👍🏼

When I lived in Indonesia, I would see thousand of These Vespa's driving around.

[@freedomformen2548]

Love the old vespa's ❤

[@danwirya2368]

dream scooter, I hope one day I can have it

[@antonguttler8836]

That’s so cool! I’m also about to buy my first Vespa. I would love to have one like yours, but in Denmark where I live, you can only ride 50cc scooters when you’re 15 - as I am. So I’ll get one of the new ones instead. Great video!

[@Mechanic_kid]

I have a lot of 50cc scooters, they are fun also! Maybe you can get a vespa when your older👍🏼

[@antonguttler8836]

@@Mechanic_kid Yeah I hope so. Have a great day!

Happy holidays from FabzRustRider everyone great video keep em coming 💯🇬🇧

I found one of these in a dump, just yesterday. Tank wasn’t rusty or gooey and the slightly old fuel hadn’t turned radioactive yet. I figured if anything ends up in a landfill or a wrecker there’s a reason for it, right? Surely the last person who tried to bring it back wouldn’t give up for no reason. Got it for free out of the dump and it was a little dry seized but some elbow grease on the fly wheel and it freed right up, some oil in the cylinder and a cleanup of the bowl and jets, she came right to left. Straight from the dump first look at it and it already had consistent spark. Why would anyone throw something like this out, even if it didn’t run like why. I have no idea why it was in there the Italian brand(maybe original or close to) tires even hold air. It needs a seat and a brake refurbish, an over all cleanup and tuneup and it’s mint. Totally free.

[@Mechanic_kid]

Yes it is functional just very dull light! I just picked up another vespa that needs all of its wiring done. Stay tuned for that and I’ll try to show how I do the lights👍🏼

Does it run on normal gas or gas mix with oil?

[@Mechanic_kid]

Premix

[@joeyfaulks]

What is top speed on that one

[@Mechanic_kid]

40mph

@@Mechanic_kid cool

[@GScootersKita]

bule naik vespa garasi scotters kita

[@78a67h]

I hope you had the right percentage of 2 stroke oil in that gas you poured down the carb. Ideally you should have flushed and discarded the old petrol in the tank if it had been sitting there for too long. Finally I really don't know what you are trying to do revving the engine nervously from cold. To warm up a cold engine, just let it run at a slow idle for a minute, then drive about SLOWLY and gradually build up.

[@254967conwell]

its premix, when he opened the gas tank the gas had a blue hue to it, oil does that to gas

[@billbyrd9845]
