Anyone know where I can buy a Mikuni VM 14SH carburetor, or at least parts for one? Google gives me no results in English (as I'm pretty sure they didn't sell the Love in any English-speaking countries). If there is a reasonable facsimile it may suffice.

Of course, thanks for informing me. It is flange mounted.

Ok, whats the spacing between the flange bolt holes, center to center?

I'm guessing somewhere in the 50mm range?

Center to center the bolt holes are about 44mm. Here is a reference picture:

The intake side is 25mm. There is one fuel and one air line. The throttle cable goes straight in the top, and there is a large shaft which does nothing but hold the carb in place. I only know motorcycle carbs, this is the only scoot I've ever worked on, so I have no idea how normal any of this is.

Bottom left is fuel, top left is air, and the middle is where the idle air screw is supposed to live.

And just for the full 360:

edit: and the spacing is closer to 45mm, I was measuring incorrectly.

What are the best scooter classifieds I can look through online? I've already got cycletrader and craigslist tapped but I don't know if there are any good scoot forums or whatnot where people may post bikes. My last scooter was a series of stupid mistakes (or perhaps one continuous mistake) but I'd like to try and find another scooter or two and preferably non-op.

What's the opinion on Bajaj's? Decent scoot or avoid it like a Chinese?

Are you concerned at all about parts availability?

Yes, but I was under the impression they would be interchangeable with a lot of Vespa parts of the same vintage.
