Re: Mikuni mixture screw

As has been mentioned-thats not the mixture screw- its the tick over screw and looking at that photo you might want to come out a couple of turns....
If you google mikuni carbs theres some good exploded images out there ...

Re: front wheel alignment

thanks for that shocky, think I get the jist of what you're saying. Measuring between the tyre and fork (roughly) I've got 30mm on the disc side and about 18mm on the other.

Checked the fork links, all see...

Re: The various costs of building a ‘dream’ Lambretta……

Interesting topic... Edens post made me smile! never had a "showstopper" lammie (though I'd always fancied one) till four years ago when I picked up my professionally race painted and tuned RB250- total cost about 9k, only problem is I'm sh@t scared of damaging it!! not going to justify th...
