Starter Motor Removal?

I'm wanting to remove the starter motor from a PX200e engine, as its going into a '65 Motovespa frame (without a battery) - so the electric start function will be redundant. What I need to know is; (1) Can I simply remove the starter motor & leave the starter gear on the flywheel without causing...

Re: SIP Road 2.0 jetting

That's great, had a look & It's got a 118 main in at the minute & I got a selection of larger jets when I bought the pipe which go up to 128 - so I reckon I'll try it with a 122 main, drill the filter & see how it runs from there.

Thanks for the replies..

SIP Road 2.0 jetting

I've bought a 'SIP 2.0 Road' exhaust to fit to my 1975 Rally 200 - and wondered if anyone can offer advice on what jetting I'll need to run with this pipe. It's currently running the original, bog standard 6v Femsa engine with a standard 24/24 si carb & stock pipe.
