2.1.03

1.25.03

  • An owner's manual from a Vespa Douglas Model G has been added thanks to original scans from Kelvin.
  • Unfortunately all owner's manuals and parts books scans have been revised with a watermark in the corner. If you download one and find the watermark obscures the info let me know and I'll change it. Hopefully this will curb people selling scooterhelp scans for $$.

1.11.03

  • I have revised the start page to include one new section (other two stroke projects) to include a space for the Jet Board project, and also leaves a new space for a future section. The new section will be called "scooter related projects" and will be all the various projects like programmable variable ignition timing, internal headset master hydraulic cylinders, electric start ideas, electric fuel valves, and other fun items we have been working on that don't really fit in any other category. It should be up when I get enough material together.
  • More ads have been added to the Lambretta sales literature pages (sent in by Kelvin & Oscar Norlin).
  • The ET4 page has been updated with specifications thanks to an email from Tim at Exit 57 S.C.

  • Thanks to an email from Oscar Norlin, the missing pages in the SX200 owner's manual are now online. The PDF has been updated too.

12.06.02

  • Sorry it has almost been a month since the last update. I had a new non-scooter related project which is almost finished but took up much of my time. I was given a 1965 two stroke powered surfboard and just had to get it running - here's a link to what it is and what we did.

  • A new section on definitions of stroke, bore, compression ratios, and cubic capacity is coming soon. Maybe by the end of the week...

  • I added a site map to the site. It is a little clunky and there may be areas missing. Once all the sections are added the scooterhelp banner at the top of each page will always lead to the site map.
