I'm resorting a 1980 Vespa 50 Special V5B3T. It has been a dream of mine to have a Vespa and when I saw one come up on eBay disassembled I though HEY! what an awesome way to learn everything about a Vespa but put-on one totally together.
So my quest begins. I've been working on the body while waiting for parts to come in. I ordered a 70cc kit because the old cylinder was cracked and I also wanted a little more pep if at all possible. So I'm putting to gather the engine and everything is going well until no spark.
This is what I've done so far.
Checked the coil - I have a volt meter and honestly I'm not 100% sure how to use it but I put a lead connectors on both sides of the connectors and i didn't get a sound saying that the current is not going through it … again not 100% sure what to set it on but I'm nor sure if it even works that way. (I really dont know how to test it correctly)
Checked the cable - I cut off the old ends cleaned them up really good and made a new connection
Checked the points - pulled the fly wheel off sanded down the point and then put the wheel back on and made sure they were opening and closing.
Basic Clean Up - I cleaned off the magnets, or any where that would help magnetized strength.
Please help - Thanks in advance.
