Vespas did not have electric starts in 1965. I think the Rally 200 was the first in about '73.

Disconnect brake cable. Remove handlebar headset top screws x 4. Push speedo cable into fork leg to raise headset top. Disconnect speedo cable and wiring plug. Remove handlebar clamp bolt and pull handlebars up to remove and hang on cables. Remove locking nuts and washers from top of steering column. Get help to raise front end of scooter and forks will slide out. (Suggest doing this bit over sheets of newspaper to catch any loose bearings.) Remove the three bolts holding mudguard to fork and slide up the column. Do the above in reverse to refit.

Try taking off the fuel line from the tank to the carb and blowing through it

If you're not getting the proper RPM's try adjusting the timing and check the governor, all golf carts have governor's. If it were me I would just disconnect it altogether.

Sounds like the float is stuck, not floating(sunken ship), out of adjustment or the needle in the bowl is one of the above. It's a simple fix- take the bowl off the bottom of the carb. and inspect. Until then turn off the gas when it's not running. Here's a link for more help http://vespamaintenance.com/elec/diag/index.html

The red button on the right must be held down for anything to move. It turns the lights on, makes some train noises, then moves forward. If you don't hold the button down, nothing will happen. Note that when the train is underway, the left red button becomes a train whistle. Otherwise, when the train is not running, that left button produces music. Hope this helps.

Do tjese scooter have any kind of temp control sensors? Although fuel will cause this so will temp sensors will run ok then heats up and dies cuz bad sensor. I realy dont know but maybe!!?!!

Same! Did you find anything out? [email protected]

Had same problem a few weeks ago myself. Turned out to be damaged gasket between the carb and the carb body. The two stroke oil filled the carb box which then went into the air intake hose and was running out of the frame around the side panel locator hole onto the floor and exhaust. Replaced the gasket and not happened since.

I believe the first train was made aound the mid 90's.

They seem to have all the parts and even parts for older Peg Perego models.

Could be a deficient battery, malfunctioning solenoid, starter is burnt, starter switch, or brake light switch, as these are necessary. If your brake light is not working, that's it. I need more information.

got to a mechanic

Hello there, sorry but there is no easy way to take out the screw. The only way you can get the screw out is by opening up the entire engine as the screw is very unlikely to have fallen straight to the base of the engine. You would have to drain out the oil then dismantle the entire engine to locate the screw. Although you might be lucky that the screw falls out in the process of draining the oil but this is quite unlikely. After draining the oil if it does not come out you would need to open up the entire engine. And make sure you do not for any reason start the unit until the throttle stop screw has been removed as that could be fatal to the engine. Sorry for any inconveniences.
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

the fuel tap feeds from two separate tubes, one sits higher in the tank as main fuel and a lower one feeds from near the bottom of the tank(reserve) the main pick up tube may have a blockage, there are usually small filters on the ends of these tubes that can get blocked, you may need to remove fuel tank to clean

the clear hose should be the battery drain, the black shoud be the carb overflow, it sounds like the carb needs cleaned and adjusted... these are usually extremely reliable vehicles, the tank and lines should be cleaned at the same time as the carb

where are you located? i may be able to help with your baccio vx50
