Flat spot when warm

Have come across a couple of issues with vespa pxs with a flat spot on the rev but only once warmed up.... a bit baffled as to why? Haven't looked at wither of them yet but just wondering if anyone has come across and solved this.... to save me some time!

Re: readspeed 6 plate......

Studs, I think Shayne's s type TS1 has a Readspeed 6 plate in it. Now it hasn't been used that much but when I had the motor in my GP it was good, I'm sure I read on here that people had put decent miles on them with no issues but that was maybe 5/6 years ago.

PHBL 'D' needles

Is there a commonly used range of D needles with an easy guide for lean to rich - like is available for the PHBH carb i.e X12 - X7 - X13 - X2 - X25 ?

I'm sitting too rich on a D29 on the top clip so don't know where to go - and I don't really understand the charts showing diameters and tapers lol.

Jet 200 petrol tanks

As in the plastic ones, are they no more? Can't seem to see anywhere selling them.

Re: BGM non adjustable dampers

Distance is 248mm
Yeah when on the stand they would be at full extension being forced apart by the springs.

BGM non adjustable dampers

Bough a set of these for my GP and they seem to be about 10mm too short when fully extended and the front wheel is off the ground - To fit I need to get someone slightly heavier than me to sit on the scooter. They are indian forks with, I assume, factory fitted brackets. Any thoughts? Do I fit them ...

Lambretta dampers

Anything decent looking out there apart from BGM? They do look good but for all the difference front dampers make they are far too expensive imo...
