So I have been tuning this vespa for a week. I ended up switching the carb to a stock CVK carb. Unplugged the tuning screw, it was only a half turn out holy sh!! Tuned it to about 1 and 7/8 out, starts up fine sometimes, needs revving sometimes, always runs perfectly and after moving will idle at stops but if just trying to idle it on the stand it takes revving it for 10 seconds to get it to stay idling.
Had this same exact issue with my other scoot, the 100cc bbk agility. Rose the needle on it to make one notch leaner and it starts perfectly in less than a second without revving every time. I suspect new england weather to make it hard to tune but come on...
The vespa has the stock CVK carb with a non adjustable needle. How do I rig the needle to be leaner? I know you can put spacers to make it richer, but what about leaner?

Did you just turn the air fuel screw out that far and start it ? Or did you tune the scoot to the highest rpms ? If you only did the first . I would get the scoot to idle around 2000 rpms . you will need to turn the idle screw so the scoot will idle that high. Then turn the air fuel till u get the scoot to idle as high as possible " just don't let the scoot take the off on you. If the scoot starts to surge from the clutch wanting to engage , just back the idea screw back down some, and see if you can get the rpms a little higher again. After you reach what seems like the highest possible rpm by adjusting the air fuel , then back the idle screw back down to recommended idle. If the valves are gapped right , then this may be all that's needed.

You said you turned the airfuel out further , that means you actually richened up the mixture . if you want it to be leaner then you will need to turn the screw back in. Backing the airfuel out let's in more fuel and turning the screw in let's in less fuel . but I would do the highest rpm tune that in posted above and see if that cures her.

I honestly could not tell you how far my airfuel screw is in or out. I just adjust it to the highest idle and then turn the idle screw down to recommended idle. It always works for me.
