To adjust the throttle cable slack on a Piaggio ET2, you will need to locate the throttle cable adjuster. The adjuster is typically located near the carburetor or the throttle body. To adjust the slack, first loosen the locknut that secures the adjuster. Then, turn the adjuster clockwise to tighten the cable or counterclockwise to loosen it until the desired slack is achieved. Once you have adjusted the cable, tighten the locknut to secure the adjuster in place. Be sure to test the throttle to make sure it is functioning properly before riding the scooter.

frankly speaking: how come you think it is "not a problem" to do such service jobs on a Vespa LX if you are not a mechanic and don't have all the tools required? - sure you could try it - but you need enough time to check the workshop manual and get the proper tools. (eg. sometimes the nut on the rear axle is stuck and need to be heated by a torch) - to change the tubeless tire you will need also a tire changing machine which only tire shops or bikedealers have. https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/26764401/service-station-manual-vespa-lx-125-150-4t-euro-3

Hey June, the correct assembly. cleaning. setting, and adjustments of the carburetor are CRITICAL....Please take the carb to a qualified professional to get it cleaned and set. Ask him which screw sets the idle speed..and you can set it when you reassemble it.. (ONLY adjust the idle speed screw!!) IF this machine has oil injection, and its been working fine.. do not adjust it...AND .. if the oil is injected into the carb (i've seen one or two bikes with this set-up)..its working fine..the fuel/air will be taken care of when the carb is fixed! Make sure your air filter is clean!!.. and a new spark plug will help!!

check: - is gasoline in the tank? - is there a spark emitted at the spark plug if held to the cylinder while cranking the engine. - is the headlight lighting up while cranking? use a starter-spray in the air intake Vespa 150GS VS5 spark check
