Re: Erratic tickover T5

I'd look at the flyside seal first. With some luck it'll only be the seal as they're prone to go there and hopefully the bearing hasn't yet decided to spin in sympathy.

Re: Vespa Px 5 speed

Faio Racing do one for the smallframes which looks nice and apparently takes punishment but the selector is a sliding dog rather than a cruciform.

Re: Fast Idle Speed

The carbs are known to warp on occasion so don't rule that out before you start looking at duff seals. Most likely to show up when the motor is warmed through.

Re: Having a moan

So yet again we're all subjected to the LCGB's bickering, magic. At least under the previous Management this would've been shut down and saved the rest of us being subjected to such pish. Hopefully the new regime will do the same and sooner rather than later.
