quick 'Stacey' update

Jacques came to the rescue with the wiring. So I managed to do a few jobs this afternoon, as follows:

• the throttle cable has been threaded through the U section of the vespa body and inserted into the carb
• the footbrake was dropped from the floor and the circular rubber protector fitted; the spring was also fitted and the assembly reattached. The footbrake now depresses and returns to its correct position rapidly.
• fitted the felt gasket; I removed the carb and it slid over the manifold as everyone said it would
• reattached the regulator and then put the wires back into it in the sequence described to me by Jacques on the small frames vespa forum.

All in all, a good couple of hours work.
Where was number one son I hear you all ask?

Playing SkyRim on his xbox. Com'on...play fair.....he'd been separated from it for four days while the Missus and I were away in Vienna....so withdrawal symptoms were setting in!
