*Note: The Haynes manual shows the timing to be 24 degrees BTDC but I was under the impression that this is the same engine as the 90SS (which shows 19 degrees BTDC) just in a different body. The compression ratio on the Racer is also not noted which makes it possible that the Racer head is different. The GS150 had a head change in the last years of production which changed its timing by 4 degrees - If anyone knows if this is the case please email me. Thanks to Stefan Peterssen - Vespa-Club Bremen e. V. / Germany for the pictures.
