The Piaggio Velofax...
Graham and Jack did a little work on this little red Italian large wheeled moped. The engine felt very insecure in the frame. This was overcome when it was realised that the mount that the engine pivots on was not part of the frame and hadn’t been bolted up. Missing components still frustrate the process of getting the bike running. In this case the ignition lock and the workshop manual have disappeared but hopefully not forever. Turning the engine over with or without a battery produced a few very strong sparks at the spark plug but they came, went, came again then disappeared. Installing a 12 volt battery didn’t change the situation. Would the manual be located? Would the ignition lock reappear? Would the spark ignite!!
