Re: Keys

I'm not a Lambretta man myself but I think Gem Booth might be able to help.

Re: SMART CARBS

That Scooter Thing channel on YouTube has some vids about them. Can't say good or bad, but might be worth a watch..

Re: Engine cuts out on initial turn of throttle. PX 125

It sounds like it might be very rich low down and it's bogging until you change circuits in the carb. Hence when turning the throttle quickly it's enough to jump between them.

Kind of roll it in rather than just trying to force it. Some tyres are wider than others so depends on what you...
