Not starting a Vespa can be frustrating. A dead battery, a faulty starter motor or a clogged carburetor are often the culprits. First, check that the battery is full and still working properly. If that doesn't solve the problem, listen to see if the starter motor is making noise. Contamination in the fuel or carburetor can also cause starting problems. Regular checks and maintenance can keep these problems at bay.

Vespa sprint will not start
The Vespa Sprint is a popular model with its own nuances. As with all scooters, check the basics first: battery, spark plugs and fuel. Possibly the problem lies with specific parts of this model. It could also be an electronic problem, so checking fuses and wiring is also crucial.
Vespa does not start after long idle time
Prolonged inactivity is never good for a vehicle. After a long idle period, the fuel in the carburetor may evaporate or drain the battery. Fuel in the tank can also spoil, making starting difficult. Replacing old fuel and charging or replacing the battery can often do wonders.
Vespa electric start does not work
A failing electric starter can have many causes. If the electric starter is not working, it may indicate problems with the battery, fuses or wiring. It may also indicate a faulty starter motor. Consider replacing the starter if other checks yield nothing. A professional diagnosis can also be enlightening.
Vespa lx 50 will not start
The LX 50, known for its compactness, can have unique problems. In particular, the carburetor and battery should be checked. Because of the smaller engine, it may also be useful to inspect the spark plugs and exhaust, as they are more likely to get clogged.
