I hooked up all the wiring as it was listed for the new electronic stator and after some fiddling got all the lights working. Then I worked on the timing. The timing was not coming in right, so I had to drill the stator for wider mounting holes. I decided to get an electrical coupler to make the removal of the stator easier, since the wires had to be fed through a long hole to a junction box on the outside of the engine. A very narrow and difficult to feed hole. When adjusting the stator on this type of vespa, you have to put the flywheel on to check the timing with a timing light. I probably took the flywheel off 10 times before I got the timing right.
Then I worked on the clutch. At first the scooter was running fine, but the clutch started to loose its ability to de-clutch with out it be very tight. So I took off the clutch and discovered the brass clutch push had been worn down by a rough clutch pressure plate. So I put in the old plate and push, but I also looked at the clutch plates. When stacked up they were thicker than the standard plates. So I decided I would order new clutch plates of the original style.
