Re: Timing
There should be a little arrow on the clip which points to the spark plug.

Re: Best Modern Engine for Series 2 Transplant? ET4?
I don't get the joke. Anyway, I believe that only the 150cc version of ET4 was imported into the USA. I have never actually rode or even touched one but they do seem to keep up with traffic around town, which is all I want to do with this Lambretta. I don't think they imported the Aprilla SR125 here...

Best Modern Engine for Series 2 Transplant? ET4?
I've been doing Lambrettas for 33 years and have been a purist up 'til this point so this is a first for me. Anyway, I have a knackered Series 2 frame and I would like to do an auto conversion. It seems like an ET4 would be the best choice since it is air cooled and fairly compact. Plus I can pick u...

SIP Tyre Mounting Tool - Anybody Use One?
Has anybody used one of these tools to mount and demount a tubeless tyre on a SIP type tubeless rim? Do they work well? Thinking about ordering one but the shipping will be as much as the tool so want to make sure it is worth it! http://www.sip-scootershop.com/wwimages/cb90cbb0-830c-44c6-ba5d-3bc29a...

Re: Is a 30mm Dellorto too much for 195 RT Kit with Big Bore
Thank you for all the answers. I have three new carbs on the shelf; a 24 TM Mikuni, a 30 PHBL, and a genuine 28 PWK Keihin. I have eliminated the Mikuni so it's between the Dellorto and the PWK. Some people swear by the oval bore PWK but I've had good luck with Dellortos, although the smaller variet...

Is a 30mm Dellorto too much for 195 RT Kit with Big Bore
I am installing a BGM 195 RT kit with a BGM big bore exhaust, an Italian LI 150 gearbox, 15/46 sprockets, a medium weight AF flywheel, and a 58mm stroke 107mm rod GP crank. Would a 30mm PHBH Dellorto breathing through a remote filter be too much for this setup? I want something with around town grun...

Re: Sand blast cabinets??
Yes you should be able to get a small or medium air jet and matching nozzle to match your compressor's output. I upgraded my gun to the TP tools unit because they make all the accessories. They may have a distributor in the UK but I'm not sure. http://www.tptools.com/Skat-Blast-Replacement-Ceramic-S...

Re: Sand blast cabinets??
Blasting cabinets take a lot of CFM so you want a compressor that puts out 12 to 15 or more CFM at 80 to 100 psi. I is also important to have a large tank (60 to 80 gallons is ideal) otherwise the compressor is constantly running. I can tell you from experience that there is nothing more frustrating...

Removed Bump Stop - Issue on Series 2?
A good friend of mine heard that I was building a Series 2 from bits so he gave me a Jet 200 Case. It came off a race bike and the previous owner cut the bump stop off for more clearance. Will this cause issues on a Series 2 and is there a workaround such as a stiffer shocker? I am sure MB could eas...
