Cleaning My Vespa’s Engine

For the past couple of weeks I have been choosing a different part of a 1984 Vespa engine to work on every day. After I choose a part I take it off to learn about it. After fiddling with it enough, I can usually figure out what it does based off of my basic knowledge of engines and how they work. Once I have figured out the function, I inspect it to see if there is anything that might be impeding its ability to do its job. I clean whatever might be in the way and put the part back on to the engine. So far I have finished the carburetor, the combustion chamber and the muffler. It doesn’t appear to have any major issues, just a whole lot of grease that needs to be cleaned.
