Re: New project PX125 advice

So looks like i have a 125 crank cases, with a 150 bore kit on it, a 200 carb with 200 jetting (according to vespa maintenance) so th question is, can the 24/24 be jetted to suit a 150 kit, or should i be looking for a smaller carb?

Re: New project PX125 advice

Also, previous owner has bypassed the fuel tap, this shouldn't affect running but why would this be done, are they prone to blockage or something?
