That's great news on getting all you needed and from the various sources. I didn't know the cables were still available, I will have to make an order.
When the weather is a bit better here I feel more and more motivated to get my Ape running and back on the road where she belongs.

Re: AD1T points
I haven't got pictures of the stator only mounted under the flywheel, but yes, to adjust the advance / retard there is the ability to rotate the stator. Hopefully, the person last in there marked the location of both prior to removing the stator. Look for punch marks or aligning marks. From my manua...

Re: Parts for sale
Have you got the part numbers for the items you're chasing down? Also helps to know the Italian name and perhaps the German name for the part if you're going to create a saved search for the items on eBay or search for them on Subito.it. You have to cast a wide net. Where are you located? I know two...

Re: AD1T points
You have done a pretty thorough job of getting your money's worth out of the tester you have. In my experience with other Vespas, the condenser is a wear item that eventually weakens and stops storing the charge before discharge via the points. I don't know the reason for the increased resistance, b...

Re: AD1T points
And you almost got me out to the garden shed to pull out my Ape to do some work on her.
Almost.
Almost.

Re: AD1T points
OK, so you are probably missing the circlip that fits inside the groove inside where the flywheel is attached to the crank. See the photo attached and get one. I haven't a clue which other model Vespa may have this in the same year, I do know some parts are shared with the GL, not to many. My Vespa ...

Re: AD1T points
There is a German fid on youtube who does a lot of work and riding in Apes, I tried to see if he showed taking off a flywheel in one of his multipart videos, but no, I didn't find it right off. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSWJflKIYO9WWPmN26w8_GA if you wand to look for yourself. Brush up on you...

Re: AD1T points
OK, I see the points are open, can you rotate the flywheel and see that they close?

Re: AD1T points
Wouldn't be a bad idea to line up a new condenser so you have it to go in there. I use a stop in the spark plug hole to keep the flywheel from turning, and in a pinch that could be an unfrayed section of rope, though I do have the proper piston stop now to screw into the spark plug hole. Careful of ...

Re: AD1T points
James,
Can you post a picture of your engine and points? Get an idea of what we're looking at.

Re: New to ape's - Unable to start
True, check the wiring and battery charge first before doing something more drastic. Always start from the simplest to the hardest. Your fuel tap may be plugged up, you will have to clean it, it's what old gasoline does. No spark? Could be a bad plug, or disconnected wire or maybe a fuse or low batt...

Re: New to ape's - Unable to start
James, I have a similar US model AD1T but the battery and points provide the power for the spark, like a car, not like a scooter with the flywheel magneto. I will check out my coloring and get back to what mine looks like now before I change out to my new wiring loom I got from Germany.
