Clogged carb, sediment in the fuel tank, bad battery. $375 to clean, flush, and replace. It returns tomorrow!

Thats seems like a lot of money for some very easy and quick jobs. Fuel tank can be removed, rinsed and dried with some compressed air in minutes. Carb rebuilds on these things is a sub 1 hour job and batteries cant be more than 50 dollars.

quick and easy on a car maybe. to get to the carb on a vespa, you have to dis-assemble 1/2 the stupid bike.

Seems like an awful lot even with the carb access issue. Love working on small bikes like that!

In that case the price makes a bit more sense i guess.
