Re: t5/polini 152 cutting out?

Easiest thing to try is take out and clean the idle jet and its housing first.
Might get you a bit nearer.

Re: fuel tap not closing?

Does it still feel attatched?
The R clip may have broken holding the arm on.
Tank out time.

Re: T5 misfiring at high revs.

Lucky for me i have more than 1 T5 so i swapped the stator to another scooter.
The fault changed to that scooter.
Wouldn't mind but when you take it for testing etc..

Re: T5 misfiring at high revs.

It was the stator plate which had already been tested.
Gutted but relieved.

Re: vespa px 125 exhaust

Waste of time putting an expansion pipe on a standard 125.
SIP road has been mentioned will be the best bet.

I fitted the same kit about 3 months ago. Have you left the engine casings standard or are they ported to match the kit? My casings are ported etc but my settings are - Air corrector jet - 160 Mixer tube - BE3 Main jet - 121 Idle jet - 55-160 Engine timing - 18 degrees Spark plug - B7 unless i'm doi...

Re: polini 177 jetting please

That idle jet is very weak.
Divide the two numbers together.
e.g. a T5 engine has a 50-100 idle jet giving a number of 2
This is one of the lowest (richest) idle jets.
A P2 carb has a 55-160 which is i think a 2.9.
Not as rich as a T5 but a lot richer than yours which is over 3.
Hope this makes sense.

Start on a 110 main jet and work down.

Re: pinasco 177

Fitted my ally Pinasco 177 a few weeks ago.
Getting the scoot taxed and tested next month.
Looking forward to seeing how it compares to my old Polini.
