Re: S & S port data

I've got an LTH reed manifold to test that should work sweet with that set-up. If you can get the scooter up and running with the welded-up piston and fancy some time on the dyno we can test both with and without the reed. If you are interested then send me a PM.

Re: my LD'shee

The guy who produced El Sidney will have mapped a whole casing to produce his one (with a bike barrel). If he has all the datum then he should also be able to map a stock (but stronger) casing and probably there would be some demand if the materials and CNC time were a lot cheaper over there than in...

Re: GP150 cylinder - Mick Abbey Tuned - Back to the old school !

20hp @ 8500 on the dyno should be possible - that's the sort of figures people can manage with rotary Polini 135 Vespas and the Lammy has a less restrictive inlet.

Would be a good idea to find a better piston now though as Fishi says.

Re: ScootRS part nearly killed me!

not realy a scootrs problem. a problem asociated with any of these levers fro any of the dealers That depends really on whether these are generic 3rd party levers available to all on the asian market that ScootRS has bought in. Or if they were copies that ScootRS had made themselves for their own c...

Re: Ts1`s WHY ..........

Because the frame tube is off-centre, and you get more room and a smoother entry having the inlet on the 'wrong' side.

The only reed kit with left hand inlet is the small-carb version of the GT, but even that has inlet on the TS1 side for the optional 30mm manifold.

Re: ScootRS part nearly killed me!

We looked at some more levers fitted to ScootRS set-ups yesterday. Another one had a lever marked 21D, but it was a black lever, the typeface and markings were different and it looked fine. You've got to say that the pic of the lever Bilko posted with the three casting flaws on the top looks just th...

Re: ScootRS part nearly killed me!

Seems quite clear they aren't a worry when no one has heard of one breaking before, even for someone like Sticky who holds Asian parts to vastly higher standards than UK ones ;-) Mate, I think the only standards that should be adhered to (no matter where the product is made) is that safety-critical...

Re: ScootRS part nearly killed me!

I have no idea how anyone could read a clear post and then make up a story about ignoring anyone or anything, or accusing anyone of lying, etc. We did no such thing. This is why companies do not respond about customer issues on forums, I guess. I responded simply to show clearly why there should no...

Re: ScootRS part nearly killed me!

http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp245/sydduckett/P1040039-1.jpg To be fair Randall - this doesn't look like the best casting ever from the visible cracks - and you can see that the hole is off centre. You could assume that there is a remote possibility that Syd is lying and did damage the lever ...
