Vespa PX Does Not Start! Can It Be Fixed? Part 1😱

I have invested another 2h for you, to improve the auto-generated sub-titles. To show your appreciation, please make a small donation! Otherwise my motivation to make videos for you will suffer. BTW: To cut and edit 1 minute of video footage, I need up to 1 hour of working time! For this video I have worked 33h just for you! PayPal: [e-mail] (Add "Donation" as a reference text).

Thank you for the explanation on the jets I was a little confused that the top of the jets sit in the air rather than fuel but makes sense now. Wellness bath hahaha I will think of that every time I clean jets now!

[@DDLovett]

I enjoyed this video. Nice ti see maintemance close up.

[@sirflooz]

Thanks!

[@adrianroirenales5450]

Very informative

[@sirflooz]

Thank you for your praise!

[@pauldavis2480]

Get yourself a NGK spark plug cap makes things along quicker.

[@sirflooz]

Yeah, that is already on my wish / to do list...

[@xolarwind]

What does he use to clean the jets? the sound drops when he mentions it, and you cant hear what he said

[@sirflooz]

I soak them in brake-cleaner or gasoline for 24h or more. Even better is to clean them in an ultrasonic bath - but due to a lack of funds (and donations) I don't have one.

[@xolarwind]

@@sirflooz Thanks. Looks like producing these videos are stressing you out, not worth it. There are plenty of videos on Vespa maintenance in youtube with the same information that anyone can find, so no need to put your health at risk.

I have a PX125 2015 and sometimes the electric starts fails completely - dead .dodo. - don't laugh but if I toot my horn twice, it then turns over immediately and starts no problem. Often it struggles to kick start cold, some choke, could be the same unknown issue so I will try to tooting twice to see if it kick starts better. Also best to turn fuel on for few minutes to fill carb.

[@sirflooz]

These models have a special starter protection device, which could cause your no starter issue. The device is located under the front cover and is usually in a pink housing. To check, if this is the cause it would be possible to bypass this device. But to do this you should ask an experienced car electrician after showing him/her the correct schematic sheet if you are not an expert yourself. Good luck!

[@palemale2501]

I know of this - I have a simplified starter circuit diagram showing just the 9 components. In fact previously my still young 2015 PX125 had very hard bright green oxidation hidden behind the main fuse or relay (next to the battery) - perhaps due to my winter riding - so I will strip it out to check this soon at my annual spring clean service.. But the concept of merely pressing the horn to re-establish the electric-start circuit is still comical to me..@@sirflooz

Lieve help, beter eerst de bougie controleren en zodanig de nieuwe bougie nemen. bedankt voor de filmpje.

[@sirflooz]

Bedankt voor je reactie!

[@grumpyjay215]

You should have started with if it has spark. Takes two seconds without moving straight to the carb. I don’t see why it would be a carb issue for just falling over. But falling over could crack a CDI box or coil.........

[@sirflooz]

Well, if you see part 2 to 4, you will see, that my way was probably right. Cheers!

[@gordonspence6544]

For you tommy the war is over! Lol

8:29 Warum verbaust Du keinen "gescheiten" Kerzenstecker, ich würde diesem Teil nicht trauen.

[@sirflooz]

Kannst du mir einen guten Stecker empfehlen? Der Originalstecker verschließt die Öffnung mit der Gummikappe quasi luftdicht. Somit wird die Strömung des kühlenden Luftstroms für den Zylinder nicht gestört. Das würde ich auch gerne so beibehalten.

[@Scooterboys]

@@sirflooz Ich habe einen einfachen entstörten Stecker dran und das funzt ohne Probleme. Und Thremische Probleme habe ich mit diesem Stecker keine, aber Du könntest Ja auch den vorhandenen Gummistecker über den neuen Stecker machen.

[@yamyamsogn5338]

You went the long way for a simple fix . It was Most likely flooded from being on its side . if you turned engine over without fuel on and no choke it would have started

[@sirflooz]

Well, I really went the long way. But I have tried the procedure you describe, but it did not help. See parts 2 to see the details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGqkg6KEr9KCsMU.

[@briarrabbit63]

Yes

[@sirflooz]

There is always a solution... ;)
