Project Vespa - She lives!

Well I got the Vespa running. I got some advice and after verifying that I had spark, I began work on the fuel delivery system. Once I was sure that the fuel delivery valve was allowing fuel to flow to the carburetor, I moved on to removing it and giving it a good cleaning. Then I  reassembled everything to the point of having a running motor (less the shrouds and other bits). I drifted it down the driveway a couple of times before I realized that I had knocked the ground off on the electronic ignition. Once I reconnected that, a couple more drifts down the driveway and it came to life! Woohoo! Lots of smoke so I still have something to solve with fuel mixture, but it runs. And that's a huge relief. Now I can move on to stripping things down to get the body work sort out. And I can begin to buy some of the replacement parts needed.
