Unfortunately, if it is the fuel pump, the recall doesn't cover my year.Dave Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825445574700383598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103839162518790274.post-58090904176045610892011-12-03T03:47:15.506-08:002011-12-03T03:47:15.506-08:00Dave, there's a recall on the GTS fuel pump an...Dave, there's a recall on the GTS fuel pump and your GTS may be affected. Your local Vespa dealer should be able to tell. The issue you describe sounds exactly like the fuel pump issue. It's also made worse by heat. The cold weather is likely helping with the problem. If it were summer it would stall and not restart until the bike cooled completely.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103839162518790274.post-65259938410346537312011-12-02T22:33:28.850-08:002011-12-02T22:33:28.850-08:00Glad you love your new scooter.

Acceleration is wonderful, it makes a difference when taking off at a light or when you need it. There is no comparison between my scoot & bike. I am riding my bike more and prefer the larger space of the bike. Stalling isn't good, particularly in traffic. Enjoy your scoot, hope you get out on it this weekend. Ride safe!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.com
