Any dealers locally? Could they source an OEM from genuine?

Do you need the plastic cam the throttle cable connects to, or the metal tube that the passes through the headset to the grip?

ScooterWest may have it. It is a clone of the Vespa PX part, so Scooter Mercato has it.

Even money says I have one laying around that I could send along. PM me which bit you need if you want one.

For a 2t, isn't every part pretty much interchangeable with a PX?
And for 4ts, other than the top end, aren't most parts PX parts?

The Stella 2T crankcase, crankshaft, cylinder, stator and cooling fan are very different than the PX. The porting is different. The chassis wiriring is pretty different too, with unique connections an the '03-'05 bikes and '08-on bikes, the stator and flywheel are similar to the PX and the CDI box has connections like the Vespa T5.

The 4T is only similar to the PX fron the centerstand forward. The rear and engine are extremely different. Engine-wise, the clutch, cush gear, driveshaft/gears/shifter and the rear wheel/brake are similar. The taillamp, cowl catches, spare tire, battery, left cowl and signal assemblies are the only common parts.

Same question though.....any stella throttle tube would work, as they are the same. Soooooo, any dealer should be able to order one in from Genuine, if they don't have it on the shelf.
