So if the prior owner was hard on it and/or the miles are kinda high you might need to do a transmission overhaul. Measure the belt width against the service manual spec. All that being said try a stiffer torque spring. Malossi white is a good start. Malossi may say white is soft but its stiffer than a stock spring.

Hello,
yes, this scooter is from 1992 so it has long history. Belt was worn for 3mm, so I repleaced it with new one.
I got this scooter for two crates of beer from a local hehe.
It camed with new tyres, new piston and dellorto phbg 19mm carb and the clutch also looks like new.
It`s and old ugly (at least to me, but I have seen worse) scooter, but I like it because of it`s quality and it`s Piaggio engine.
It has 11k kilometers.

Im planing to register it and install 70cc bbk, but I wont do any of this until I get it running good.
