Re: Winter upgrade
IMO there are methods by which spit back may be controlled. The fundamental issue remains with piston ported engines the amount of inlet duration which can be improved by decreasing it by altering the piston length &/or the stroke &/or the conrod. They are not always practicable solutions, b...

Re: Winter upgrade
Well, I did a search on posting images and without trawling through everything, there was the infamous lengthy BLOA saga, so I'm not quite sure what you are referring to .

Re: Winter upgrade
Reference the crankcase cover gasket, CamLam used to sell them in about 2 mm, - I think - but there is also this: https://www.lambrettaupgrades.co.uk/apps/webstore/products/show/6507383 it's the kind of thing we tend to buy with extras as spares, so worth shopping around IMHO. As for the spit back, ...

Re: SmartCarb
