Vespa 150 Super saga update

The inside of the fuel tank looked pretty clean after filling it with about 2 liters of gravel and an hour of this:
I stopped when my arms and shoulders couldn't take any more - and they still feel sore two days later.

On Wednesday, the new fuel filter and wacky installation tool arrived FINALLY! With much effort (and help from Andrew), we installed it and started the bike.

Shahbang!!!

1 new spark plug, 3 carburetor cleanings, 1 muffler removal, 10's of adjustments to the air intake and gas mix, 100's of attempted start-ups, 1 new fuel filter system and a tool, and 1 fuel tank gravel cleaning later, and the Vespa 150 Super is back on the road, baby!
