My Vespa fell over in the storm and won’t start. Air, gas, or spark, no? Possible problems:

1. Most likely - sediment from the gas tank got shaken uo when it fell and is clogging the carb.

2. Old starter. A while back, I bought a new starter only to discover a loose plug on rhe old one. I probably should have put the new one in.

3. Befouled air filter. These Vespas are known for gas clogging the air filter if they go over.

The starter is directly underneath the carb, so those 2 are first. If that doesn’t work, I will get at that air filter

Any other ideas?

flooded motor> either with gas or water. take out spark plug, crank it over a few times and see if anything comes out

Better buy another one, just incase.

This a vintage Vespa before everyone started putting tip-over sensors into 2-wheeled vehicles?

this is a 4-stroke right? Check your oil for gas too.

This wouldn’t of happened if you bought an American made scooter.

How about one like this that was made by the finest American workers and factories. With the finest American steel and plastics.
