	Hi Not really retro but I think this other mods section can be about anything. I know there are some mopedders on here I posted my tomos before but just got this newer ped. Saw this on gumtree yesterday and went to pick it up this morning. Never seen one before so still researching, but its a Piaggio Velofax which is called vespino in some countries e.g. italy but was called velofax in france and other countries. Only sold on mainland/continental europe and not in uk or ireland. don't think ill ever see another in northern ireland anyway Mine is from france. The guy I got it from, his father in law bought it new in paris, brought it home, got it uk registered and gave it to him as a present but he never rode it. I think its a 1997 its an R reg just waiting for V5 It has 200 miles on it, perfect condition. Runs great I was riding it about but the only little problem is it wont idle, need to hold the throttle a tiny bit or it just stalls. carb is a dellorto sha 14.12 anyone got any tips on setting it up or know of a manual? trying to find a pipe and tuning parts, there are various clutches and stuff and polini do a 65cc but havent seen any pipes yet. cheers

	don't know if anyone is interested on this forum then... anyway I'm talking to a supplier i know who specialises in parts for obscure mopeds and he can source me a brand new polini 65cc kit, or 3 different brands of 60cc kit. also i found that metrakit have 2 pipes for it and there is a TRC. think I'm gonna go 65cc polini with a metra kit racing pipe and big carb and filter. and a malossi or stage 6 clutch.

	just read your post properly. have you cleaned the carb out? might be worth a go if not. if you're not sure about the idle there should be a screw on the carb with a spring on it (assuming its the same as the newer piaggios) which needs adjusting to set the idle.
