First: buy a brand new battery
- this might solve the problem with starting without disassembly of anything....

SOURCE: VESPA 2008 LX 50.Will not

The poor performance of the engine can makes these faults to come up. we need to check from the fuel tank , check if the fuel contains impurities and specially water. If so this can come up when the tank gets empty and produce misfiring, splutter and jerks. So a check on the fuel filter will confirm this as it will be seen, if so remove and clean tank and change the filter. We then come to the carburetor as the fuel mixing is determined in this section. You need to have the carburetor removed and all ports washed and cleaned if there is traces of dirt or clogging noticed in the fuel chamber.

Secondly we need to check on the electrics. The spark intensity is most important .Remove the plug to check gap and condition of plugs. The black plug indication will confirm that the performance is bad whereas a fully fired plug without deposits must be the ideal view. Check the HT coil and the HT wires, if the intensity is bad the ignition system must be checked. DO NOT CHANGE any part without a confirmation--- trying with a replacement from another vehicle. Finally the LT trigger to the coils must be checked be it from the platinum points or an electronic ignition unit. The voltage of the trigger must be high to give the best HT output.

Finally check the Timing on the engine. Also check compression of engine since you experience starting fault.

I just bought a 2009 Vespa and do not know how to start it. No owners manual came with it.

stick the key (brown or blue cover) in the ignition lock and turn right until lights come on on the imstrument panel - if yes you have the right key and the battery is on. then push the starter button at the right handlebar. If the battery is good the engine turns on....

Will not start 2009 Vespa LX 50 2T

There are many reasons that lead to no start. weak/dead battery, no fuel, blocking intake or exhaust, loose spark plug wire. You could check these parts and find the corresponding solutions. If you have interest in vespa sprint, feel free to chat with me.

2007 Vespa GT 200 starter engages when brake lever is pulled


it's not a bug - it's a feature....some people would say...
- actually it happened on mine too after some time when it was new on both brake levers, that means it cannot be a short or something.
but, after some time I got used to it and even got to like it like that.

My Vespa LX50 won't start.Some days I've been trying for an hour and nothing happens, I've tried kickstart and start button and nothing. I have been to 3 workshops and they cannot identify the problem....

Hi,

I have had the same problem with my LX 50. You have to make sure you turn it on often to keep it in good shape. I didn't turn it on for a long time during the winter and it didn't wanna start in the spring. I bought a fluid that you put in the gas tank that cleans off the insides when the gasoline runs through. I have to double check what fluid it was. But it worked and now it turns on.
