After spending time on the phone with Wellesley at Vespa Washington this morning, the consensus seems to be that it’s either the HT coil or the CDI. A member of Modern Vespa is sending me a used HT coil, and I’m spending my day here trying to locate a CDI unit within 600 miles to be fed-exed. Maybe someone here has an extra ET CDI sitting around gathering dust?

I’m also trying to figure out how to pay for this, so I’m having sale for a week over at scooterseatcovers.com to try to raise some funds not just for me, but for the hospital’s end of life care services. You get free shipping, a free key matching key chain, AND $5 of each sale goes to Gifford Medical Center.

Thanks for all of the support throughout all of this! Keep those good thoughts for Pascal and Susan coming…
