Re: Glasgow Lambretta
When I have used them I've received the parts I order promptly without issue. On time I had reason to complain was with a new set of SIP rims and tyres, the rims came with the shorter valves that are no good with forecourt air hoses, I tried to contact them to get a pair of the longer valves sent bu...

Re: 186 kits
I'm over 15 stone and my GT186 kit is good for 60-65 touring fully loaded and plenty still left for over-taking if that helps? Run it with a 60 stroke crank, PHBH30 and Franspeed Race, gearing is Li150 16/46

Re: Trying to get an understanding on ignition systems for GT186...
I was hoping to get it to pull right through the rev range. Unless I’m mistaken, the preferred timing set up is a static 19 degrees btdc to prevent it hitting its ceiling and sort of ‘four stroking’ at high revs. So by using the Hermes CDI it can be set at static timing (or there are two variable s...

What is it not doing now that you want it to do? I was hoping to get it to pull right through the rev range.

Re: GT186 revs Question
That’s what I’m wondering, I’ll report back when I’ve tried it. Either that or the TSR pipe isn’t as revvy as the manufacturers claim and then I guess it will be settle with it or try a different pipe - the Fran Race isn’t cheap, though, eh....? No Fran Races aren't cheap, but then Gori and Ron Mos...

Re: GT186 revs Question
I run mine open mouthed, could it be the elbow constricting under high revs restricting flow?

Re: GT186 revs Question
My 186 is jetted same as yours with the only difference being AV268 needle jet and 300 float needle, I run with a Franspeed race. No rev counter on mine but happily revs 8000+.

Re: GT186 revs Question
Might be worth speaking to Richard Taylor, he generally advises against using Varitronic with the GT kits

Re: What Speed From What Kit? (ballpark)
GT186, Li150 16/16 60/110 crank, PHBH30, Fran Race, will cruise 65mph comfortably and I have clocked high 70's in favourable conditions whilst fully loaded with rally gear. GT200, Li150 17/16, 58/107 crank, PHBH30, BGM clubman, similar speed to the above but have hit the low 80's. All speeds from my...
