Re: lambretta electrics.
I was going to mention the solder but thought it might start getting complicated. In hindsight, I didn't give the best advice because that is exactly the problem I have experienced and I do exactly as you do. Solder it and I bought a packet of multi coloured and multi sized heat shrink so I can repl...

Re: lambretta electrics.
You will find a lot of Lambretta electrical faults are simply down to poor worn out bullet connectors that either fail to make any contact or make a very high resistance contact.

Re: lambretta electrics.
Really you need to forget scooter wiring and go back to basics. You need to understand voltage, resistance, current, and power. A multimeter is a wonderfully simple tool. First grasp an understanding of voltage and how to measure it in either AC or DC. Most magnetos output AC and can show anything f...

Re: koso 28mm -setup
Sorry guys, I gave you wrong info. Checked my order history and it was a JJK that I installed, one leaner than the JJH that I started with. It is on 2nd clip.
Strange how I run a leaner main.

Re: advice on spraying cellulose please
Spend the time on prepping. Between primer coats flash a matt black aerosol across the surfaces. This will highlight any remaining dents etc. It's the primer that has to take up any imperfections NOT the top coat. I NEVER flatted between top coats unless something had gone wrong. If you get a bad ru...
