Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

Hello again, long time no see... I managed to get the scoot up and running as you can see. Unfortunately I didn't ride it too much before the winter. Now I've decided to look into the engine since it seemed to have a bit too low compression. I've bought new cylinder rings (correct term?) and opened ...

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

So, there's been som progress. Of course some delays as well. I had some electrical problems but they were solved thanks to a great Swede in Hong Kong. I now use a more simple rectifier and it works out just nice. I'll loose the battery but that doesn't bother me. A series 2 manual is also incorrect...

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

Well, how is it going, you ask... It's moving along I say... During midsummers eve (big celebration in Sweden) I found this bike that needed a quick fix to run while I was waiting for a couple of packages from Casa Lambretta and LTH. http://zikes.se/bilder/lambretta/DSC01408_thumb.jpg This is the pa...

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

Thanks for the tip about Jem and the facts about the legshield sticker. Last weekend I put together the front hub and ordered some parts in order to be able to complete the front fork, which I'll do tomorrow and the day after. It's really nice to start putting things back together and watch it grow ...

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

I'm wondering if someone here can help.

I have the original locks to the TV but I don't have the keys. I've heard it's possible to get hold of new ones as long as you have the three digits on the locks.

Who should I turn to in order to get help with this and how much will it cost me?

Thanks!

Got it back home now. Noticed it's apparently a series 1 stand on it so I had to reuse the old brackets. Next weekend I'll continue on with cleaning up the engine and perhaps getting the fork in order. Might buy some new wheels too.

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

http://zikes.se/bilder/lambretta/DSC01312_thumb.jpg I went to pick it up from the paint job, unfortunately the camera in the mobile phone didn't agree with me on taking lots and lots of pictures so I only have this one. It has been transported to Stockholm now and after this crazy work week I'll ha...

Seat from the bottom (The sign says Aquila Continentale).

I spoke with the guy doing the paint job and I'll be able to retrieve it from him during the easter.

Re: ZIKES LAMBRETTA SERIES 2 TV175 FROM SWEDEN

Hi, sorry for the late reply. There haven't been much progress to document. The painter's doing his job and I hope to have it back home somewhere around next weekend or so. The seat looking back at me... :-) http://zikes.se/bilder/lambretta/DSC01051_thumb.jpg In another view: http://zikes.se/bilder/...
