| Hi, I recently purchased a 1974 Vespa Super. Everything was working great until a few days ago. When I started it, it began spewing fuel from the bottom. Having little experience on this I was a bit hesitant about working on it. Luckily, when I removed the fuel tank I noticed that the fuel switch had come loose, and a screw was missing, allowing fuel to just spew. I got a screw and aligned it up, and screwed it back. Now the damn thing wont start! I called the guy I bought it from and he told be that he had originally accidentally installed it upside down. Now I have no idea what side is the "right " on/off side. can you direct me to a repair shop that you recommend. I've been told that this particular Vespa had been in Seattle for about 10 years, and repair shops should recognize it (see attached). I really want to get it running ASAP, because I had planned on painting it soon!- Thanks alot for your help- Sam |
