    Hi all,
    I have just purchased a non runner '97 Piaggio Sfera 50 as a cheap runaround.
    Frame needs welding in one spot as it has rusted through and the bodywork is damaged with a couple of screws and pieces of trim missing (although im just getting it attached, smooth and priming it as its for everyday use and anything flashy wont last long in my
    town :))
    Have a couple of things that i would like input on,
    It is running so rich that it floods very quickly and wont start, wondering if a smaller jet would solve this (unfortunately dont know what exact size it is currently running, previous owner only said that it was meant for a 90cc??)

    Rear wheel has about 3mm play in it, wondering if the hub nut can simply be tightened up to solve this.

    Will the oil pump be up to the job or is it worth removing it and converting to pre mix

    Thanks-Josh
    Modifications that i know of:
    pm tuning exhaust
    tnt 19mm carburetor with manual choke kit
    athena 70 cc kit
    athena unlimited rev cdi
    iridium spark plug
    some sort of variator kit
