Kickstart Lever (Short,1/4 Spline) for Vespa Sprint, VBB

Kickstart Lever for Vespa Sprint and VBB Models

This kickstart lever suits certain vintage Vespa scooters built from 1960 through 1977. It works with several large-frame bodies, such as the Sprint, VBB, and others. The lever plays a key role in engaging the starter motor, so it is one of the more important items among classic Vespa components. If the engine won't turn over, the lever may need replacing.

What This Part Does

When you press the start button, the kickstart lever is what brings the starter motor into action. A clicking noise with no rotation from the engine typically points to a weak relay or a low battery. A whining sound without any cranking motion can mean the starter clutch is at fault.
