Your excitement at the end had me smiling! Love a video that shows it sometimes takes a few tries.

I had the same problem on my Vespa and got the last White Lithium Greas tube at ACE Hardware yesterday. I grease up the grove for the diaphragm gasket and this WORKED!!! Thank you Mitch!!

[BR-kjfp]

Wow! I really thought I had a belt issue, was about to start digging into it and had it running 100% in five minutes. I owe you a beer!

[thuksinthou]

I don't have a scooter nor do I know how to ride one, but this video motivates me to buy one and learn how to ride it. I love the last part of this video. Very candid!

Mitch, you rock! I rebuilt my carb and sure enough, I had the exact same issue. Went to the local auto parts store, purchased the Lithium Grease and she's a rockin the speed again. Thanks, brother guys like you make YouTube the great source it is.

Thanks for the tip Mitch, after cleaning the carburetor on my 13' piaggio typhoon the scooter had low power. I removed the top like you showed and used the grease to hold the rubber seal in place. This worked on the first try, much better!

I love how stoked you got. I’ve been there. When you finally get it. Boom!

[LorneJackman]

I recently bought a used lx150 (with an incredibly low 200 miles). Had the same problem… started and ran great but wouldn’t go over 25.. I had to stop and check the side of the bike to make sure I wasn’t riding a Vespa 50. After some internet research determined the CV boot wasn’t sealing.. tried to reseat but no luck. Your grease trick (I used silicone grease) worked! Very happy!! thanks Mitch 👍🏻

[jeffthomas]

You’re AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this easy fix. Was stoked when I cracked open the throttle and my LX150 had power again. This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

[ronaldscott]

I just want to thank you for the video I was having the same issue and now my Vespa lx 150 is running great 👍

[thietrickster]

You're my hero!!! Same exact thing was going on. Had the carb taken apart 10 times at least.

[Freebird]

Yes this happened to us when cleaning the carb on my Piaggio Fly, fixed it with some Vaseline!

[metinvural]

Merci beaucoup !!!! J’ai acheté un vespa d’occasion récemment et j’avais le même problème qui persistait après avoir changé la courroie et galets de transmission et impossible de savoir d’où venais le problème ! Merci !!

[MrBerenguer]

Thks four your excellent video I have a Vespa Lx 50 my carburetor drope a little petrol from the bolw if I remove the carburetor to change the tray is not out of tune

[mrsvend]

Thanks from Denmark. That works, my scooter is now running as new :) I used tractor grease.

Hey Mitch Co Part has a helix for auction right now, it's yellow and looks beautiful. It was in a flood, you should get it and restore it.

[walternqn]

Mitch, el N°1 en scooters!! Saludos 🇦🇷

[clouclouc]

Same same on my Aprilia compay. I owe you one too.

[ahapiotr]

Thank You Mitch!!! It was worked for my vespa !!!!🤩

[dokesz]
