How to Replace the Fuel Pump on a Piaggio Zip

Model: Piaggio Zip
Part: Fuel pump

Video tutorial

In this guide, we will provide instructions to dismantle and replace the fuel pump on a Piaggio Zip scooter, following these simple steps. First, place your scooter on the centre stand and begin by removing the plastic panel under the seat; then unscrew the fastening screws of the fairings to remove them, as shown in the video.

Next, unscrew the side screws of the fuel pump, disconnect the hoses and the electrical connector to remove it from the tank; all that’s left is to fit the new one!

Vespa Immobiliser: How to Transfer the Chip from the Old Key

In the case shown in the video, the new keys are not recognised by the ECU: the Vespa starts but does not run (thus the immobiliser is active). The solution shown in the video involves locating the immobiliser chip in the old key (the one recognised by the ECU). Open the cover on the key (only red master keys or some blue ones), remove the chip (which is a small black cylinder or rectangle), insert it into the new key in place of the new one, and try to start. Now the key will work. If the master key is red, it will definitely work. If it is blue, it might work: you need to cut the silicone; this is possible but a delicate operation. If it is a black clone key, then it is a system that does not work.
