Regine: March 2011
http://vespa180ss.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Vintage Vespa in daily use, awaiting restauration. Monday, 28 March 2011. Guess who had to walk an old lady home today. It finally happened. Regine turned on me. Guess who had to walk her home from work today. Already at work I had a good guess what it could be; the "modified" coil had been neglected for some time. And right, the cable coming up from the coil was loose. Only one thing to do: Try to repair. Off with the screws, cut off the stripped cables coming through the Bakelite. Now: Did the fix work?

Regine: Degreasing and status
http://vespa180ss.blogspot.com/2011/03/degreasing-and-status.html
Vintage Vespa in daily use, awaiting restauration. Sunday, 27 March 2011. Regine has worked perfectly most of the time I've had her, but the low kick is really annoying. Lately the kickstart has started to fail as well, sending the kickstart in the ground with some crunch noises from the gearbox. The gears definitively need some shimming soon. With the new Rally. Anyway, weather in the weekend was flawless, and I was able to degrease and wash both Regine and the Rally. Here is the result.
