Re: positive stop method

Yeah! Same here, three turns in but wasn't sure if this then interfered with the squish. Hot starting issue, so wasn't sure if timing was off, pick up reads 93.8 and therefore hot starting could be down to low reading on pick up, I've read that it should be 95 - 120.

Re: Carb and fuel in air hose?

Thanks for that dapper, smaller pilots on order, I'll give that a try. Is this a common thing, as the scoot was running fine prior to winter hibernation?

Carb and fuel in air hose?

Hi all, I've this listed in another area but I don't know if it was the correct one. I'm sure that aspects of what I'll say here are covered somewhere in the archive, as it's a lambretta and therefore someone will have encountered particular issues before.

Problem starting, but narrowed reasons?

Hi all, I'm sure that aspects of what I'll say here are covered somewhere in the archive, as it's a lambretta and therefore someone will have encountered particular issues before.
