Viton seals were advertised a a cure for the problems of ethanol damage but unfortunately Viton is NOT resistant to ethanol as you will find if you check it out in the web

Re: Chiselspeed M-tech advance/retard unit
I don't think there is anything difficult in the fitting but for what it costs to have it fitted by the experts and set up on the dyno why bother messing about yourself and having to guess the best setting

Chiselspeed M-tech advance/retard unit
Just got my scooter back from Chiselspeed at Leeds where Martin has fitted one of their M-tech advance retard units and I am stunned as to the difference it has made. Max BHP up / Max torque up but the biggest difference is to the smoothness of the acceleration + it now ticks over properly. Anyone l...

Re: Quattrini M1XL Intake question.
Yes , everything other than final dyno set up and fuel pump which was done by Martin at Chiselspeed. The main bits were researching which carb would fit and finding and modifying a suitable air filter plus a bit of welding to strengthen the casing. and increase crankcase compression It's a full rebu...

Re: twin keyway
I'm not saying that a standard flywheel doesn't provide more cooling air what I meant is that on a properly set up engine the Beedspeed lightened flywheel provides enough cooling air. If you have a bike that is set up slightly lean or timing slightly advanced or with incorrect squish clearance etc t...

Re: twin keyway
The cooling issue is not a problem with these lightened Beedspeed PK flywheels . I rode 200 miles each way at 6,500 - 7,000rpm (rev counter fitted/ 65-70mph on Garmin satnav) to EuroLambretta on large frame Vespa GL with Quattrini M1XL stopping only to re fuel. Just done same thing 200 mile each way...
