original lack GS3

[damon]

Hello

i've got 2 vespa GS/3

One vespa gs type 112 and one gs type 212.

i would like to make a restauration of them but i didn't find what is the color inside (like the picture)

it red (fondo rosso) brown or green like the italian GS150?

Or it's grey like the vespa gs color?

thank you for your help

Hi Al,

Well, I can only tell you about my VD2TS (German GS3 from 1961), which has got about 10.000 original kilometers on the speedo and is completely in the original condition. As you can see there is no red primer involved!!

The other VD2TS from 1958 seems to have a layer of brown and then green primer... check the 3rd pic.

thank you for your answer!

All the GS3 pics i saw was grey inside, always.

i think the primer was paint for the german G150.

i will paint both in grey outside and inside.

Thank you!

do you have find a Gel battery in the good size for the GS3?

i run without battery for the moment, do you think it's a bad idea (better performance with a battery?)

regards

Alan

Just take a Gel-Batterie. Have a look at www.pollin.de ( Art.Nr. 270 618 12,95 EUR / Art.Nr. 270 432 22,50 EUR)

Cheers, Fredi

thank you, i will check this adress.

Another question about the main jet, when i clean each carburator of the two 150GS/3 i always find a main jet of 107, is it normal ? (i thunk the main jet was between 101 and 105..?)
