    Having trouble sourcing a spark plug for my vespa.
    Is there anywhere/website where i could get one sooner rather than later?
    Local and no so local motor factors don't stock the one I need, halfords wont have one till next week.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Wouldn't most motorbike shops have one?

    Scooter island in Dublin ? Give them a ring. If they don’t have one they might be able to suggest somewhere.

    Also, spark plugs don’t just stop. It may need re-gapping, but should keep going for a while. (Unless it is physically breaking apart )

    Which model do you have?
    They are readily available from any motorcycle shop here.
    Motorcycleshop.ie will have them if you can't find one locally.

    Thanks,
    Its my daily commuter & wouldnt start for me the other day. Ticking over fine, lights, horn etc working. I can smell fuel when it ticks over, but its not firing up for me, so i'm assuming (with no knowledge) that a plug need to be replaced.
    Its due for a service, but unfortunately there's nowhere close to me that services bikes, so if i can get it running i can drop it into the lads in GEM in town for the service.
