Well i've had some problems with the carb i fitted a Keihin PWK copy as it was a cheap one from thailand its no surprise. I don't think they suit vespas as the fuel pipe has to bend up in a loop as it meets the carb input pipe resulting in fuel starvation when low fuel in the tank. You could fit a pump but i was offerd a delorto/malossi kit form a good mate and have now fitted it which has fixed all my issues

How bad were the problems? been looking at the keihin as an upgrade for my 63 vbb.
Hi Jay the problems i had with the carb were poor idle, this may have been the lack of use so the scooter is a bit choked up, but it seems fine now. The main issue was the fuel starvation {the scooter would pick up fine then die } this happed on low fuel in the tank. There are a lot of people using these carbs, maybe my carb was a shit one though i do think that the fuel inlet pipe design doesn't help
Hi Rob, nice Vespa! I love it!
I bought a Keihin PWK 24mm carb with the Scoot RS, like yours, I watched your video and I was excited about the purchase.
Next week i will install this carb in my Vespa (PX200E 86)
What kind of tips do you recomend?
I saw in your photos that you replaced the filter foam, i bought a same filter from Scoot RS, like in your video.
Is it difficult to install this carb?
Can you help me with tips?
