INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The « Piaggio Co. » welcoming you in the family of the Vespa owners, wishes to thank

you for your preference, trusting that this scooter will be to your satisfaction. For its

Such numbers and prefixes identify the Vespa as prescribed by law and are repeated on

the test card and other documents of the Vespa. They must be quoted when ordering

spares.

ENGINE

Single horizontal cylinder, two-stroke, with deflector piston and rotary valve, i. e.: fuel

mixture flow to the cylinder is controlled by the rotation of a crankweb (see Fig. 4).

The engine works on a 2% gasoline-oil mixture.

Bore 57 mm (2.24")

Stroke 57 mm (2.24")

Displacement 145.45 cc ( 8.88 cu.in )

Compression ratio 6.8 to 1 .

The engine is pivoted to the chassis of scooter through the cylindrical arm of the

crankcase half, clutch side, provided with a spindle and two bushes (see Fig. 4). Its

vibrations are damped by the rear suspension with variable rate coil spring and hydraulic

damper (see also page 13 ). The rear wheel is secured to the end of the mainshaft.

Ignition by an external H. T. coil with primary winding fed by another coil inside the

flywheel magneto (see Fig. 5).

Sparkplug: Marelli CW 230 A - T or CW 225 N - T, AC 43 F, Champion L. 86, Bosch W

225 T 1. - KLG F 70 or F 75.

Ignition timing with spark advance of 28° ± 10.

Lubrication of piston, cylinder, wrist pin, connecting rod, crankshaft, main bearings is

attended to by the oil in the fuel mixture.

Both clutch and gear box operate in oil bath.

Fuel supply by gravity with gasoline-oil mixture. The carburettor is embodied in the air

cleaner case, has a plate-shaped slide valve and immersed jets.

Fuel tank with total capacity of 7.7 liters (2.03 USA gals; 1.7 imp. gals) and emergency

reserve of about 1.4 I (0.37 USA gals; 0.3 imp. gals).

Three way tap («off» - «on» - «reserve»).

Transmission. The engine (see Fig. 4) directly drives the rear wheel through clutch, cush

drive and gear box.

Engine to wheel transmission ratios:

First : 13.35 to 1

Second : 9.32 to 1

Third : 6.64 to 1

Fourth : 4.73 to 1

Clutch. Multiplate, with linings bonded to the driving discs (see Fig. 4). Control by lever,

on left hand side of handlebars (see Fig. 8), and adjustable cable.

Gear box. 4-speed drive with mesh gears in oil bath (see Fig. 15). Its adjustable twistgrip

control is coupled

with that of the clutch, on left hand side of handlebars (see Fig. 8).

Starting. By means of kick-starter, night hand side of scooter. The multiple gear and

consequently the engine is set in motion through a ratchet sector and a gear by operating

the kick-starter.

Cooling effected at all engine speeds by a centrifugal fan (see Fig. 7).

Muffler. Expansion and absorption combined type with very high silencing efficiency.

Air cleaner mounted inside the body. Air goes to the carburettor through a large flexible

inlet tube, a silencing chamber and porous filter, which ensures a very quiet air intake.

We recommend not to alter the muffler or the air cleaner but to keep them in perfect efficiency, in

order that the noise level does not exceed the limits (prescribed by law.)

Steering column, suspension and wheels. The steering column bears the handlebars,

clamped on its top end, and the front wheel swinging hub, pivoted at its bottom end

through a stub axle (see Fig. 9).

Front suspension with variable rate coil spring and double action hydraulic damper.

Rear suspension: swinging bracket for engine and rear wheel, variable rate coil spring

and coaxial, double action hydraulic tamper.

- The wheels are interchangeable with rims of pressed steel sheet (0 8").

- Tyres of dia. 3.40-8".

Saddle of the nose-pivoted, sprung type with central spring adjustable to the driver's

weight.

Brakes. Expanding type with cable control.

Front: lever on R. H. side of handlebars.

Rear: control pedal on floorboard, R. H. Drums in light alloy with cooling fins.

Central stand. A two-legged stand, easy to operate, is arranged under the floorboard. A

strong return spring in the middle holds it in contact with the floorboard and keeps it from

vibrating while the scooter is being ridden.

1. Steering column and front suspension – 2. Engine – 3. Pivoting arm of crankcase half, clutch side –

4. Rear suspension spring and hydraulic shock absorber

Steering lock. A suitable security lock is arranged on the frame, near the handlebars.

Turning the key anticlockwise and the handlebars to the left, the lock engages the lugs

welded on the steering column, so that the machine can only turn around. Turn the key

clockwise for releasing the steering system (see Fig. 10).

We recommend not to lubricate the steering lock, even if it does not function properly. Do not attempt

to ride the machine unless the key is in, and remains in, the lock and the handlebars move freely.

Speedometer. The speedometer is housed in the central portion of the handlebars (see

Fig. 10) and adds to the appearance of the scooter. It is driven by the front wheel, the flex

drive being completely enclosed in the steering column. The speedometer dial is lit during

night riding by a bulb suitably installed in the head lamp.

1. Normal position – 2. closed

Horn

A 0,6 W bulb is provided for illuminating the speedometer dial.The light and dip switch

unit, with two levers is installed on the right hand side of the handlebars (see Fig. 11 ) ;

one of the control levers has three positions:

- pilot light, tail lamp and speedometer bulb on;

- lights off;

- head lamp, tail lamp and speedometer bulb on;

the other one gives the two lighting conditions of the head lamp (main and dipped beam).

The switch has also two push buttons for cut-out and horn respectively.

TOOL KIT

1 four-ended box wrench ( 11-14-21-22 mm) ; 2 double open-ended wrenches ( 11 - 14

and 7-10 mm) ; 1 single open-ended wrench (8 mm) ; 1 screwdriver. These tools are

contained in a canvas roll which is placed in the left wing together with this booklet and

the test card.

ACCESSORIES

On request the Vespa 150 can be equipped with following accessories:

Rear saddle of the nose pivoted, sprung type, to be secured to three chassis holes after

removing the luggage rack. The central spring is adjustable to the driver's weight.

A foam rubber can be used instead of the rear saddle. The seat can bepillion seat

secured to the rear luggage rack of the scooter. Both rear saddle and foam rubber seat

are small and attractive looking and give remarkable comfort to the passenger, thus::

completing the efficiency of suspension (see Fig. 13).

Spare wheel and bracket. The wheel can be secured in two ways to the scooter:

a. in front, by a light alloy bracket secured to the scooter longeron by means of two

screws.

b. at the rear, by a steel sheet pressing, provided with spacers, to be clamped onto the

frame, under the luggage carrier or the rear saddle, by means of the three screws

securing the latter.

A promt re-starting of the scooter after a puncture is made possible by the spare wheel;

the latter is held by either bracket in such a position where it is easily accessible and does

not inconvenience the driver at all.

For access to the engine, take off the engine bonnet: proceed as follows.

- Pull the lever « 1 » (Fig. 16) and turn it so as to release it from the bonnet. Then move

the bonnet slightly outwards, until front dowel « 2 » disengages from the hole on the

frame.

- Push the bonnet from the front, upwards and turn (see position indicated by dotted line),

thus releasing the fixing hook « 3 » from the frame.

- Move bonnet outwards round its hooked pivot « 4 » until the latter disengages from the

hole on frame. The bonnet is thus removed.

For re-assembly, reverse the procedure.
