vespa gas mixture

I recently got a 79 Vespa but I don't know how to mix the 2% oil/gas mixture. Does anybody know?

Re: vespa gas mixture

You put the oil into the gas. Then shake.

For more of the obvious: scooterbbs.com - they'll answer all of your questions.
For everybody else, this is exactly why I advise you stear clear of used vespas...

Roundheadedkid, ever seen a 2 stroke haha, ALL 2 strokes need manual mixing unless they have an oil injector.
