Re: GS150 Ignition Timing

Just a small point. If you decrease the percent oil, then at the same time you are increasing the percent petrol in your mixture. So your engine will be running richer, and might need a slightly smaller main jet.

I rode a GS150 1959 - 1972. Wish I still had it!

Re: Vespa GTS250-300 "APTO BOX"

Thanks, Shocky. I contributed to that GTSOwners topic. It seems the mod consisted of boring out the throttle body to try to get the APTO box to work. Didn''t always fix it. So I'm not missing out on an extra horsepower or two!

Re: Vespa GTS250-300 "APTO BOX"

Shocky, what is the throttle body mod? I haven't heard about that one!

I have the Malossi TC Lambda Emulator installed, and am very happy with the results. Wonder how it compares with the Apto box? 4-5 HP sounds a bit optimistic. Has it been dynoed?
