Re: SIL Gp Light switch

Oh the joy of indian wiring! I bought a brand new indian gp200 that was F reg, this had an indicator switch on the lh throttle support that was a similar shape to a gp light switch. All the indicator switch was a simple toggle with off in middle and a left position and a right. I also have a semi re...

Re: Sh filter

By box I guess you mean the standard steel air filter box. I would think the easiest way to fixing a filter is for you to keep the rubber elbow and fix a k&n style filter to the end of the rubber elbow. you just need a solid ring to push inside the elbow and a k&n style filter to fit over th...

Re: Rear Brake Light Blowing

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the scooter needs to have a working Speedo bulb that must be 12volt even though it is a 6volt system. It is used as a type of buffer . Afraid I have no idea if this will help your brake light problem.

HB stage 4 head

Can any one tell me where I can get hold of converted cylinder head for the stage 4 tune? Ive tried phoning Harry but haven't been able to get hold of him. Would it be possible for me to get the top of the barrel machined down instead of the head turned? What I mean is using a 1.5 packer and two gas...

Re: Turbo Lambrettas soon ?

I believe the record breaking streamline lambretta 125 from early 60's was supercharged. Richard Taylor did some cad drawings of a supercharger for vespa et4 engine. In my view a supercharger is easier to modify for a scooter engine than a turbo as a turbo need a reliable oil feed as it spins at aro...
