Re: Series 2 lower steering bearing dust cover

S2's don't have them do they? The Italian ines I've seen haven't so far.

Re: Scooter not picking up properly ........... HELP!

Re: Lack of Posts

You probably know this already, but if you use WiFi on your phone it has no impact on your phone contract and data usage. You can turn mobile data off & when connected to any WiFi still have internet access.

Re: Retard, advance, retard add-on ignition profile?

Looking back I got mine via Amazon in September 2016, but I've not seen them on sale since, but sounds like I missed some. I've submitted a query via their web page asking if they're planning on making more.

The kheper device also does this but they don't seem to be making them anymore. You could try contacting them via the Kheper web page & see if they have plans but I haven't seen any on sale for around 18 months.

Re: thumb choke route

On my S2 I opened up the head bolt hole and fed it through there.

Re: Balancing a lambretta crank/top end??

Is there such a thing as 'harmonics' (if that's the right word?). For example, I get vibration at something like 3,500rpm that clears by 4,000 rpm and I'm wondering if that is just the combining effect of the frequencies during those engine speeds. Outside of those figures the engine is very smooth....

Symbols On Casings

Was talking last night about letters & numbers printed on engine cases & how is was perhaps to identify a particular worker who performed the job etc. Anyone else heard anything? See below on a late 1961 S2 cases; a '3' on the chaincase, a 'Y' on the suspension pivot, and perhaps the remains...
