To me the silver one looks like a T5 air screw, (1.5mm tip), the rally/P200 air screws have slightly thinner 1mm tip ...............................I think

I had exactly the same problem with unruly tickover until I realised the difference

I've had a black plate on my 76 Rally since I acquired it 14 years ago, never been pulled once over it . I reckon plod have the same issues as joe publique, all scooters are old & the rider MUST be a mod ...... so no need to waste time on paperwork .

Have you tried fitting the Halfords can in the lambretta ?

Have you checked that it's not just the splines on the kickstart that have worn ?

Mine was doing this all through the summer until I changed the float & needle for a full kit off beedspeed ... never had a prob with the SIP tap though

Surely a lot of the pleasure of riding a 2 stroke scooter is listening to the noise of the engine ?.........that and working out does the leader of the pack actually know where the F##K they are going ???

Obviously great minds think alike ....

Flywheel & stator off to see if leak from F/wheel side seal .....or drop oil and sniff test for petrol in gear oil ?

Not usually , just a smear of gasket blue after you have flattened the head by using fine sand paper with a little WD on it and a sheet of glass and work the head round in a figure of eight motion...clean off , gasket blue on , then torque the head bolts a little at a time up to the correct setting(...

Fitted one of those to the rear brake on Dox's scooter Ada ....Fits ok but the small clamping bolt is made of cheese, we had to bodge a nipple on as well ( to be sure) when bolt head sheard off ....might pay to find your own bolt to fit .
