I have a 1980 Vespa Si moped. It had 82 miles on it when I bought it in July, and ran great. Around 800 miles there started to be some backfiring at high speed. Also top speed was slower (flat ground went from 29mph to 24mph) around the same time. The problem continued and at around 1100 miles I was going down hill when there was a BIG backfire which screwed everything up to the point where you could not accelerate at all. I took it to a local small engine shop, and they got it running again. There still seems to be some small backfiring at high speeds and top speed is still not up to what it used to be. The shop said I might try to replace the spark plug cap, because it may be arching, causing the problems I'm having. What are some of your opinions on how to fix this problem? -Curtis |
