Drove the Vespa around town today after replacing the plug for a test drive. I got lots of waves and thumbs up along the way from kids and motorists. Drove down to Redwood Blvd to get some gas, then up Grant Ave which the main street of downtown Novato. Then I headed to Wilson and on to Indian Valley Road for the test drive. Nice little loop drive with opportunities for varying speeds. Scoot drove well with no bogging down in the lower speeds.

Spark Plug & Test Drive
I bought new spark plugs today and replaced the one the scooter came with. Huge improvement, it is now running much better, not choking out at low RPMs. The previous owner told me he had to change them frequently, I just did not know how frequent he changed the plug. The old plug looked ok to me, a nice brown color around the insulator. But the swap did wonders, so I will keep that in mind. I got spares so that is the first thing I will do is swap the spark plug out at the sign of trouble.
